Marx and so forth and so on and so on and so on and so on the Library of Congress the letters signed but a fine who sent this El Quincy Mumford that's right he's Louis reminiscent he's the librarian of Congress may I ask if you've made suitable suitable provision for preserving your personal papers if not I invite you to consider the claims of the Library of Congress as an appropriate repository in the library's manuscript division may be found many of the nation's manuscript treasures including the personal papers of most of the presidents this is not legitimate it sure is these distinguished collections would be enhanced by the addition of your papers I invite you to present them to the American people skim over it I invite you to enunciate clear scuse me I'm sorry all right I invite you to present them to the American people for inclusion in the National Library if the invitation appeals to you and I earnestly hope that it does little parenthetical expression you put in I shall be happy to provide further details meanwhile I enclose an explanatory brochure for your information now read the next paragraph the manuscript collections of the Library of Congress are composed of many millions of papers valuable as students of the American past here are the originals of the rough draft the Declaration of Independence George Washington's commissioners commander-in-chief of the Continental Army the notes on the Proceedings of the Constitutional Convention the first telegraphed message the first and second draft the Gettysburg Address the correspondence of George Washington Thomas Jefferson it's rather grant Abraham Lincoln you're going to mumble all through this thing I think that is uh well it's an extraordinary I was so astounded would they let all the people who come through there see your personal papers yes they can if they're really interested they can see them I tell you the I don't know how they had wind of this but I have been a corresponding with a number of people for about 25 years I mean Bob Benchley and James Thurber and Eby Nunnally Johnson Harry carrots and goodie ace and Fred Allen Freddy Allen I rewrote every week back I saw a lot of your letters to have between you and Fred in Fred's book or the one that Portland put together and I was so pleased when I got this thing and having not finished public school to find my letters perhaps laying next to the Gettysburg Address I hope it's quite a incongruity in in in addition to being extremely thrilling and I am I'm very proud of this thing have you sent any of them back yet now I compile them and they're Simon & Schuster's doing my book of letters you see the trouble with Fred's book I thought and it's his letters are wonderful but he didn't have any of the letters to him in the book through and I think it's kind of one-sided and my my book is gonna have the letters back and forth from the people who have written I mean I have to get clearances from all these people summer in Europe and Africa are all over it's gonna make a great book quite a chore but you find someone whose greatest humor in the correspondence it that took place between yes and it's so reminiscent you know of my earlier days so many things come back when you read all letters letters the Dames too that some of them will have to be expedited I imagine I was wondering about the you know yes parents bringing their children through the Library of Congress and well they better be over 31 when they go I mean the children not the parents go right ahead and proceed with this I'm all through with this is the whole purpose of me coming over here they accept to say hi to you why is acres and they here McNamara go and then McNamara's band go into hysterics over yeah you know what they put in here this time if a musician says does this lemonade there's something like that here's a foot tapping message from the Jolly Green Giant one day the valley cats were having a little ho ho ho down for the Jolly Green Giant so to show them he was no squared the giant treated the boys to his niblets brand corn frozen in butter sauce tall crisp krandalls of the Giants on sweet corn frozen fresh in this flavor tight cooking pouch so all the flavor stays in the corn you also get the flavor of his delicately seasoned butter sauce and dig this at the giant new

know that the song yeah the yama yama that you have heard for that was the only incidentally would you know that song is about fifty years old no fields produced to show and many years ago with Bessie McCoy and that song was in that so he must be you must be about 100 years I would say you look 85 okay and the other 15 on hand i makes a total of 100 years now why don't we how you feelin it you feel I feel great you look great no whiskey no nothing no decremental nothing it's just pure skill annoyance and retribution that'll do in that other those are occasional drink I thought you did I have one drink before dinner but keeps me running to the loo frequently I consume more time there than I do I'm not sure that it's worth it really that's a funny thing you had Shelley Berman on here the other night I mean he was talking about euphemisms and it's so true now in in London I just came from there I did quiz show for the four months over there in the rain out in the street with no umbrella and the loo you know and here you have to go I don't want to get into Jack Paar's territory but it's true this is a very dishonest nation here they never tell the truth about anything everything is euphemistic the sky is everything so you two need a piano the submarine committee we're gonna take a break [Applause] you
