NOTES

It is a special joy to appear at this "fly-in" ,

"love- in" for "Texas Triumph" , Jack Valenti .

Jack is truly a "Man for All Seasons" and

Mary Margaret 1 s "Love is A Many Splendored Thing . "

When the President hears how popular Jack is,

he may change his ideas about his November running mate .

But I ' m sure Jack wouldn ' t want to change his No . 1 job

for a No . 2 job .

My presence tonight is not in any event political .

I ' m here even though there are no Variety Clubs in New

Hampshire .

It is not true that anyone in the industry has

asked my friend Senator Gene McCarthy to leave this

month to become a documentary Producer overseas .

My presence here is as much as a surprise

as Bob Hope ' s appearance at the Annual Academy Awards .

But the Humphrey family have always been

movie goers . A "Family that goes to the movies

together" enJoys life together .

I am particularly glad to see members of

the press present . Perhaps that great show business

newspaper, VARIETY, might headline this evening as

"HHH FLACK FOR JACK'S CLAQUE . "

SALUTE

I am here not just as a tribute to Jack,

as important as that is, but to pay tribute to the Variety

Clubs 1 -- to the men and women of the motion picture,

theater, TV and allied entertainment industries.

What blessings you have brought to countless

Americans -- to ill and handicapped youngsters, in

particular. Your Sunshine Coaches and countless other

philanthropies have been a joy to behold.

Within this room are both Variety Club pioneers

of your industry and men who have attained great renown

within the past few years.

A mutual symbol of their -- your industry

is service. There has never been a good cause in which

your industry theater owners and allied businesses --

have not served your u. S. Government -- in Savings Bond,

blood donations and countless other good causes.

- 2-

CITIES

As President Johnson ' s liaison with the

nation ' s mayors , I am here to assure you that we want

healthy cities , prosperous cities ; that means roth inner

cities , suburbia and exburbia .

We don ' t want whole sections of America ' s

cities to decay .

We want our streets and roads to be safe and

modern so that people can easily drive wherever they

want to go -- to downtown theaters or suburban theaters .

We want to reduce the toll of crime because we know the

cost of vandalism, on many cities .

Your thousands of drive- ins are called

"ozoners . " We want the air that people breathe in

the countryside and in the city to be fresh , by

defeating the pollution problem .

INTERNATIONAL

Jack has put his constructive imprint - - not

only on the U. S. motion picture industry , but on other

nations ' film industries . This is so very appropriate;

I know of no medium which is more international in nature

than motion pictures and , now, television . Indeed , your

film products are more closely identified with the United

States than any product made by any other industry . in our

country .

Your film earnings abroad are ~endously

helpful in improving our balance of payments . It is safe

to say that the Silver Screen abroad is a key to the

"golden" health of American exports .

The continued prosperity of America ' s film

industry is important, not only to the state of California,

to other states , such as right here in New York, but to

our overall economy .

Just back from Africa , I know that the image

which foreign peoples have is to considerable extent

dependent upon what they see on the screen .

From D. w. Griffith to George Stevens , from

"'Jfue Sheik" to "To Sir With Love", motion pictures have

changed our idea about the world . They have changed

America ' s idea about the rest of the world and the

world's idea about America .
