Summary
This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or memoir (page 318) recounting the author's high school years in the mid-1950s. The text details the author's leadership of the 'Inter-Yeshiva High School Council' and their successful postcard campaign lobbying the United Nations and Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge against a World Calendar Reform proposal that would have disrupted the Jewish Sabbath. While part of a House Oversight release (indicated by the footer), the specific content is historical and does not mention Epstein.
