BILL CLINTON
Four weeks before his reelection, the President signs this photograph
to a retired Republican NYC Congressman.
Photograph inscribed in calligraphy: "To Seymour Halpern/Best
Wishes" andsigned: "Bill Clinton/10-9-96" as
President. Color, 8x10 overall, image 5½x7¾ (one
surface). SEYMOUR HALPERN began collecting autographs as a child.
A former staff assistant to Mayor LaGuardia, he represented Queens in Congress
from 1959-1973, one of the few Republicans elected from New York City.
Halpern, who did not seek reelection in 1972, died on January 10, 1997, at
the age of 83, three months after President Clinton autographed this photograph
for him. On the day the President signed this photograph, he also
signed the Federal Aviation Authorization Act, the Helium Privatization Act,
the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act, the Veterans' Health
Care Eligibility Reform Act, the Veterans' Benefits Improvements Act and the
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Amendments Act and proclaimed October 9, 1996 as
Leif Erikson Day. Slightly creased, 1 barely touches the last "n" in Clinton.
Ink smudges at date and last "l" of Bill (probably from the President continuing
to write before the ink was dry). Overall, fine
condition.
