Dear Father Endali
I received your letter concerning school
bus transportation and when that Bill
reaohes the Senate I will be most happy
to support it,
I have received perhaps 50 or more**
letters from residents of Dillingham,
many who are members of your parish, and =
it simply is mechanically impossiblo for
me under the tremendous pressure of leg
islation which we are working on to.an
swer each of them individuallyo I would
count it a great personal favor if you
would ark Murielle Spears to put a little
notice in her paper to the effect that I;
have received all of these letters and I
am most happy to comply with their wishes
in support of the Bill, but simply cannot
answer each letter at this time.
May you be successful in your efforts
and with best wishes.
Yours vory truly,
Signed! A1 Owen, Senator
Third Division
(Ed, Note* At the latest accounting
the abeve mention-.! transportation
Bill had passed both oho iJouco and
the Senate and wavawaiting the
C.'o-e rno r - s sign at u re » Thanks, A1«)
