The service was chaired by Robert E. Asher, a retired Senior Fellow of the Brookings Institution and a friend of Leon's for over fifty years. Six other close friends also paid tribute to Leon. The statements of these seven individuals follow. Also included are two additional eulogies, one presented over the radio by Michael Harrington and the other written in a letter to the editor of the Washington Post by Robert R. Nathan. These are followed by selected excerpts drawn from the nearly four hundred letters of condolence received by Mary Dublin Keyserling in the several weeks following Leon's death. The printed obituaries appearing in the New York Times and the Washington Post are appended."--P. [2].
