Typed Letter signed: "J K Javits" as U.S. Senator, 1p, 8x10½. Washington, D.C., no date.
On official letterhead to Edward P. McKean-Smith, Coos Bay, Oregon. In Full: After
receiving your recent communication, I contacted the appropriate agency on your behalf. I have
now received the agency's reply, and a copy of this reply is enclosed. I certainly hope you will find
this report helpful. If I may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to write again. With best
wishes, Sincerely". Jacob K. Javits (1904-1986) was elected to the U.S. House of
Representatives in 1947. He remained in that position until 1954 when he defeated
Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. to become New York's Attorney General, the only Republican
elected statewide that year. He later served four terms in the United States Senate
(1957-1981). A close ally of Governor Nelson Rockefeller, Javits was a strong supporter of
civil rights legislation, and often supported the policy initiatives of Democratic Presidents.
Afflicted with ALS ("Lou Gehrig's disease), Javits lost the Republican primary in 1980 and
also failed in a Liberal Party bid in the general election for the Senate seat. He received a
Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1983. Lightly creased. Binder hole nicks at left edge.
Otherwise, fine condition.
