Richard Nixon signs the program for the 22nd Annual Congressional
Banquet given by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States.
Program signed: "Richard Nixon", 4p, 5½x10½. Washington, D.
C., no date. Program of the 22nd Annual Congressional Banquet Honoring members
of Congress. Signed on front cover. Richard Milhous Nixon (1913-1994) was
elected 37th President of the United States in 1968 after representing
California in the U.S. House of Representatives (1947-1951) and U.S. Senate
(1951-1953) and serving two terms as Dwight D. Eisenhower's Vice President
(1953-1961). He lost (1960), then won, extremely close Presidential
elections (facing John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey, respectively), then won
re-election by a landslide against George McGovern in 1972. Nixon's re-election
triumph rapidly turned sour, however, as the burgeoning Watergate scandal
claimed more and more of his key aides and finally compelled his own resignation
in August 1974. 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. Soiled
in blank lower portion of front cover. Ink note (unknown hand) at upper border.
Otherwise, fine condition.
