Dear Mr. Spencer:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your recent notification that Oakley, Kansas has made formal application to become an official American Revolution Bicentennial Community.
I am pleased to know of the interest and efforts which you and your fellow Kansans are directing towards the celebration of our nation's 200th Anniversary. This is truly a worthwhile and commendable undertaking, and it seems quite appropriate that our great state of Kansas should play a part in this observance.
I do hope you will let me know if I can be of assistance at any point in the development of your plans.

Sincerely yours,
BOB DOLE
