A White House Visit By Mrs. FRED R. HARRIS Wife of U.S. Senator Fred R. Harris (D. Okie.) An evening in the White House is impressive in many ways. We attended a recent White House reception for members of the Senate and their wives, arriving about 7:30 p.m. at the diplo- matic entrance. We were escorted upstairs to a receiving line, then one couple at a time entered the Green Room and were greeted by President and Mrs. Johnson. The greeting was warm and friendly. Mrs. Johnson, asked about my Comanche Indian grandmother, Wakkie Tabby-Tit- e, 86, whom she met during the campaign last autumn in McAlester, Okla. Mrt. Fid r. Hairb After all had been greeted, and pictures taken, the President invited the men to go downstairs to the Blue Room with him for briefings by Cabinet members, and Mrs. Johnson stayed with the ladies. A tour was arranged for those of us who had not been through the White House and for those who wanted to tour it again. Several Senate ladies, who had seen it several times, remained in the East Room and visited. TOUR The White House is stately, rich in history and traBut it also has an atmosdition, and phere of warmth and hospitality which stems, I think, from the personality of the First Family and the friendliness of the staff. Highlights of the tour, as far as I was concerned, were the Rose Guest Room, popularly known as the Queens Bedroom because five queens have stayed there, and the Yellow Oval Room where the President receives awe-inspirin- - PLASTIC WOOD- SPECIAL WASHINGTON REPORT r. ; the New Mexico School of Mines Kennecott Appoints Mines Plant Chief Nursing Conference Charted on Heart Ailments g. his most distinguished visitors. Being from Oklahoma, I was delighted to discover that the Johnsons had added a Southwestern touch to their living quarters. There were original paintings of Catlin including one of his meeting with a group of Comanche Indians, which I have long admired, and there were many books about the Southwest, particularly Texas. HELPFUL FOR SENATOR Later we rejoined the men for a buffet in the dining room. On two occasions there, we talked with Mrs. Johnson and we again visited with the President as he moved among his guests. Fred had an opportunity to visit further, privately, with the President about the situation in Vietnam. As we prepared to leave about 10 p.m., Fred commented that the briefings by Cabinet members were most informative and helpful, and others voiced similar sentiments. From every standpoint, the reception seemed purposeful and worthwhile. Im sure every member of Congress is better enabled to serve his country because of these meetings, and the wives feel much more a part of things. |
