Memorial , we went to our hotel,
Friday morning we again loaded
the buses -with our baggage and set out
for a tour of the capitol. It was
very interesting to see the many
historical places in the Capitol
Building. We visited Congress while
on our tour, l^en we finished our
tour we went to Senator Ervin*s office.
We had an appointment with Senators
Scott and Ervin, but due to the un
fortunate circjmstances were not able
to see either one* Senator Ervin*s
sccretarrr talked to us and took us to
a meeting of the Rackets Committee.
It was very interesting to see one
of these meetings going on. Senator
Jo'nn Kennedy* s brother. Bob Kennedy, was
questioning the Philadelphia Teamsters
Union boss. After leaving the
Rackets Committee we loaded our buses
and started home.
We all left New York and Washington
with a clearer understanding of the
United Nations and our own government,
I think it was an educational and
worthwhile trip and certainly a prize
worth working for when time to write
World Peace Speeches comes next year.
