Robert Reich Recounts How He Used to Make Letters to His Friends Using Bobby Kennedy’s Auto-Pen Machine
‘I was in charge of the signature machine’
EXCERPT:
REICH: "Well, I was in charge. I was very excited to be his intern, but it was not a very exciting job itself because I was in charge of the signature machine."
COLBERT: "The autopen.
REICH: "The autopen. In those days there was really a machine, it wasn't just an autopen. So I used it to make — type up in the night letters to my friends.
(Laughter)
And like the one here."
COLBERT: "Do you want to read this one? This is to your friend -- "
REICH: "Dear Mr. Dworkin."
COLBERT: "Scott Dworkin."
REICH: "'It’s recently come to my attention that you have been designated as outstanding [bleep] In New York State. I’ve also learned of your exceptionally large nose. Best wishes, Robert F. Kennedy.'”
