Clements, Jr. Deputy Secretary of Defense Room 3E942 Pentagon Washington, D.C. 20301 Dear Bill: I wish that there was a Times Square news bulletin device I could use to tell everyone about your generosity! Not just because of the esteem we have for you but to let people know that great gifts are being given for enduring purposes. I know that you prefer no recognition but it is such a tremen- dous series of gifts that it is exceptional beyond the ability of most people to understand. Your gift of 2,840 shares of SEDCO, Inc. stock valued at $ 88,000, dated December 20, 1976, will pay the costs of the Service Building, Roads and Parking, Museum Roads and Parking, Four Troop Sites at Camp Comanche, Gargabe Rack at the Dining Hall and the other items as identified in the list provided. We know that the giver gives himself along with the gift. That adds much to the significance of the gifts and the developments that have been made. It will be a source of personal pleasure to have the benefit of your leadership involvement in Circle Ten Council again. We are thankful that you had a great experience in Scouting, and now have the vision and generosity to extend a similar opportunity to thousands of others in this area. It is a Christmas and New Year message that will provide a warm glow and thrill all year. Best regards, L. TARR Scout Executive JLT:dr cc: John J. Casey John P. Harbin B.
