SUB-SERIES F - SPEECHESand other appearances revised Nov 2003

Listed by chronologically by date, place, organization/occasion, title and first line. This file contains all the known speeches and other appearances such as tapings, press releases, and occasions when he appeared as moderator or participated in a symposium. In many cases there is no copy of his speech or remarks. This is basically what he titled his “Speeches” file. No attempt has been made to work through his political files to recover other appearances of a purely political nature.
