(Washington: United States Senate, March 23, 1956).

A FINE LETTER FROM JOHN F. KENNEDY SIGNED BOLDLY BY HIM AND DATED IN MARCH OF 1956.  I wish to acknowledge and thank you for your letter expressing your support of legislation concerning Civil Service. You may be interested to know that the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee has held three days of hearings on S. 2875 and is planning to hold an additional day of hearings on this bill. Certainly there is some question as to whether this bill will come before the full Senate this session but as my past record indicates I can assure you that I will keep in mind the interests of the civil employees in considering this bill. With every good wish, I am yours sincerely, John F. Kennedy. Item #19812
