suggested by James Roosevelt. But there was really no point to it. Unless the Congress is going to give money, you don't need any act from them, only money that supplements the act is needed from Congress, don't you agree?
So the other would be implied private funds.
Yes, but don't you think that's funny?
Yes.
Well, at any rate, one thing that is going to get done that's good as a result of this effort is that enough funds have been raised so that a wing is going to be put on the Roosevelt Library to contain Mrs. Roosevelt's own papers and books and letters and memorabilia. This makes me very happy because this is a form of a memorial to her, and actually the Wiltwich School and cancer fellowships and the United States Committee for the United Nations should take care of themselves in whatever way they can. That's the duty of living people. But the duty of people that loved her is to do something that will memorialize her, and this is the thing that will do that.
