CLAUDE PEPPER
Shown in an office hung with many photos of famous people
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Paul Friscat/ warm regards
and/best wishes/Claude Pepper". B/w, 10x8. Claude Pepper (1900-1990), a
Democrat, was a US Senator from Florida (1936-1951). Pepper had been a
strong supporter of President Franklin Roosevelt, who died on April 12, 1945,
but tried to block President Truman's re-nomination in 1948. In retaliation,
Truman persuaded a more conservative Democrat, US Representative George
Smathers, to unseat Pepper in the 1950 Democratic primary. After more than a
decade out of office, Pepper would return to the US House of Representatives
for 13 terms (1963-1989). As Chairman of the newly created House Select
Committee on Aging, he became a foremost advocate for senior citizens,
promoting Social Security and Medicare and passing legislation abolishing most
mandatory retirement rules. Four days before his death, President George H. W.
Bush awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Heavily creased.
Signature in poor contrast but legible. Corners worn and creased. Torn at center
right and left edges. Otherwise, fine condition.
