By the Grace of G-d 15th of Shevat, 5739 (February 12, 1979) Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

In view of your prominent role in connection with the adoption of J.H. Res. 770, designating April 18, 1978 as “EDUCATION DAY, U.S.A.," - 

And I take this opportunity of reiterating also in writing my most sincere appreciation, -

You will, I hope, be interested to read the enclosed memo briefly outlining my response to President Carter’s proposal to create a Cabinet level Department of Education.

I trust you will agree with the views expressed therein, and will give your fullest support to the required legislation, while giving expression, in the way you know best, also to the other two pertinent points.

With prayerful wishes for success in all your endeavors, and

With esteem and blessing.

M. Schneerson
