RICHARD NIXON
Richard Nixon signs a blank envelope for franking.
Envelope franked: "Richard Nixon", 8¾x¼. Signed at the upper
right corner of envelope imprinted: "Inaugural Committee/Washington, D.C. 20025"
at upper left corner. "Do Not Bend" is imprinted at lower left margin. Mailing
envelope for an inaugural program, not addressed. Richard M. Nixon (1913-1994)
was first inaugurated as the 37th U.S. President on January 20, 1969.
Although Nixon and his Vice President, Spiro Agnew, were re-elected in 1972 and
enjoyed a second inaugural ceremony on January 20, 1973, neither would
finish their terms; Agnew resigned on October 10, 1973 after pleading nolo
contendere to criminal charges of tax evasion (stemming from allegations that he
took $29,500 in bribes while Governor of Maryland) and Nixon resigned on
August 9, 1974 in the wake of the Watergate scandal. Nixon had previously
represented California in the U.S. House of Representatives (1947-1951)
and U.S. Senate (1951-1953) and served two terms as Dwight D.
Eisenhower's Vice President. A pragmatic conservative who gained an early
reputation as an anti-communist but achieved diplomatic triumphs in relations
with China and the Soviet Union, Nixon's prolific writing in his retirement
years helped repair his reputation and hasten his re-emergence as an elder
statesman. Lightly creased. Slightly yellowed at blank areas. Overall, fine
condition.
