GRIFFIN BOYETTE BELL
Small signed color bust photo of Griffin Boyette Bell, President
Jimmy Carter's Attorney General, in a suit-and-tie
Photograph signed "Griffin Bell". Color, 5x7 overall, 4¼x6¼
image, one surface. With black ink notations on verso. Bell (1918-2009,
born in Americus, Georgia) was a shrewd and witty United States Attorney
General (1977-1979) under President Jimmy Carter, whom he knew from childhood.
Bell got his start at the federal level in 1961, when President John Kennedy
appointed him to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, Louisiana, a
position he held for 15 years. As Attorney General, he supported the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which sets limits on electronic and
physical surveillance on foreign spies and terrorists. He also
investigated Koreagate, a 1976 scandal allegedly involving South Koreans
trying to buy congressional influence. Bell returned to private practice
after resigning as Attorney General. Lightly toned, creased and bowed.
Impressions from notations on verso show through on image but do not touch
signature. Otherwise in fine condition.
