PRESIDENT WILLIAM J. "BILL" CLINTON - TYPED LETTER SIGNED 05/26/2000 - HFSID 269553

BILL CLINTON
Bill Clinton sends a typed letter of thanks.
Typed Letter Signed: "Bill" as 42nd U.S. President, 1p, 6¾x8¾. Washington, D.C., 2000 May 26. On embossed White House letterhead to The Honorable Daniel P. Moynihan, United States Senate, Washington, D.C. Headed: "Personal". Begins: "Dear Pat". In full: "I was glad to receive the copy of Secrecy with your kind inscription. Your continued thoughtfulness means a lot to me, and I send my best. I hope to see you soon." Former Governor of Arkansas (1979-1981, 1983-1992) BILL CLINTON was the first Democrat reelected President since FDR. He served from 1993-2001 and was the only elected U.S. President to be impeached. On February 12, 1999, President Clinton was acquitted on both articles of impeachment brought against him: charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. Clinton's popularity stood at 67% at the end of his trial, however. Obviously, many Americans were willing to overlook his personal failings in an era of peace and prosperity. Nor was his support based solely on personal charm. His accomplishments in office included a waiting period for gun purchases (the Brady Law), the Family and Medical Leave Act, the North American Free Trade Agreement, welfare reform and balancing of the federal budget. FROM THE ESTATE OF SENATOR DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN. Democrat Moynihan (1927-2003) represented New York in the U.S. Congress from 1977-2001. A prolific author, he served in the administrations of four Presidents: Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford. Moynihan's book, Secrecy, was published in 1998. Slightly creased. Inventory numbers stamped at left margin. Fine condition.
