Sal Andretta Memorial

The U.S. Department of Justice in Washington is establishing a conference room in memory of the late SalAndretta '20 who held the Department's highest career post.

A near-life-size portrait will be placed in the Andretta Reading and Conference Room in Public Administration, which adjoins his old offices. It will have a small library of the latest books and materials on public administration and will be used for conferences and lectures on that subject, serving the Department administrators and supervisors as the Main Room serves the Department lawyers.

Seven surviving Attorney-Generals of the eleven under whom he served for more than 30 years - Francis Biddle, Tom C. Clark, J. Howard McGrath, Herbert Brownell, William P. Rogers, Robert F. Kennedy, and Nicholas deB. Katzenbach - have signed an endorsement of the fund being raised, declaring:

"We should retain what we can of his ideals, his friendliness, his humor, and his dedication by establishing this conference room as a permanent, useful memorial of his devotion to and his love for the Department of Justice."
