After meeting with JFK in the White House in October of 1961,
Hale Boggs told the New Orleans Times-Picayune's Washington
correspondent that "[t]he president considers New Orleans one
of the great trading centers of the United States and is particularly
grateful for the meaningful trade policies that have come
from International House ..." This was during the time that Clay Shaw
was serving as the acting managing director of International House.
This meeting led to JFK's visit to N.O. in May of 1962.
