  • Presidential Recordings of Lyndon B. Johnson (November 22, 1963-January 10, 1969) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Bruce J
    Presidential Recordings of Lyndon B. Johnson (November 22, 1963-January 10, 1969) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Bruce J. Schulman (guest post)* Lyndon B. Johnson built his career--and became one of the nation’s most effective Senate leaders--through his mastery of face-to-face contact. Applying his famous “Treatment,” LBJ pleased, cajoled, flattered, teased, and threatened colleagues and rivals. He would grab people by the lapels, speak right into their faces, and convince them they had always wanted to vote the way Johnson insisted. He could share whiskey and off-color stories with some colleagues, hold detailed policy discussions with others, toast their successes, and mourn their losses. Syndicated newspaper columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak vividly described the Johnson Treatment as: supplication, accusation, cajolery, exuberance, scorn, tears, complaint, the hint of threat. It was all of these together. Its velocity was breathtaking, and it was all in one direction. Interjections from the target were rare. Johnson anticipated them before they could be spoken. He moved in close, his face a scant millimeter from his target, his eyes widening and narrowing, his eyebrows rising and falling. 1 While President Johnson never abandoned in-person persuasion, the scheduling and security demands of the White House forced him to rely more heavily on indirect forms of communication. Like Muddy Waters plugging in his electric guitar or Laurel and Hardy making the transition from silent film to talkies, LBJ became maestro of the telephone. He had the Army Signal Corps install scores of special POTUS lines (an acronym for “President of the United States”) so that he could communicate instantly with officials around the government.

  • Richard Nixon's ''Checkers'' Speech, 1952
    Richard Nixon's ''Checkers'' Speech, 1952 September 23, 1952 My fellow Americans: I come before you tonight as a candidate for the Vice Presidency and as a man whose honesty and integrity have been questioned. The usual political thing to do when charges are made against you is to either ignore them or to deny them without giving details. I believe we've had enough of that in the United States, particularly with the present Administration in Washington D.C. To me the office of the Vice Presidency of the United States is a great office, and I feel that the people have got to have confidence in the integrity of the men who run for that office and who might obtain it. I have a theory, too, that the best and only answer to a smear or to an honest misunderstanding of the facts is to tell the truth. And that's why I'm here tonight. I want to tell you my side of the case. I am sure that you have read the charge and you've heard it that I, Senator Nixon, took $18,000 from a group of my supporters. Now, was that wrong? And let me say that it was wrong-I'm saying, incidentally, that it was wrong and not just illegal. Because it isn't a question of whether it was legal or illegal, that isn't enough. The question is, was it morally wrong? I say that it was morally wrong if any of that $18,000 went to Senator Nixon for my personal use.

  • President Ford's Statement on Pardoning Richard Nixon, 1974
    1 President Ford’s statement on pardoning Richard Nixon, 1974 Introduction In this speech before the Congressional Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, of October 17, 1974, President Gerald Ford explains his decision to pardon former President Richard Nixon for his role in the Watergate scandal. Nixon had resigned on August 9, 1974, and Ford pardoned his disgraced predecessor a month later, on September 8. When Ford appeared before the subcommittee to explain the controversial pardon, he asserted that his purpose in granting it was “to change our national focus. to shift our attentions from the pursuit of a fallen President to the pursuit of the urgent needs of a rising nation.” Ford noted that while Nixon had not requested the pardon, “the passions generated” by prosecuting him “would seriously disrupt the healing of our country from the great wounds of the past.” Ford declared that “the general view of the American people was to spare the former President from a criminal trial” and that sparing Nixon from prosecution would “not cause us to forget the evils of Watergate-type offenses or to forget the lessons we have learned.” Excerpt My appearance at this hearing of your distinguished Subcommittee of the House Committee on the Judiciary has been looked upon as an unusual historic event - - one that has no firm precedent in the whole history of Presidential relations with the Congress. Yet, I am here not to make history, but to report on history. The history you are interested in covers so recent a period that it is still not well understood.

  • Announcing the Death of Lyndon Baines Johnson
    1154 PROCLAMATION 4180-JAN. 23, 1973 [87 STAT. PROCLAMATION 4180 Announcing the Death of Lyndon Baines Johnson January 23, 1973 ^^ ^^^^ President of the United States of America A Proclamation TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my sad duty to announce officially the death of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the thirty-sixth President of the United States, on January 22, 1973. President Johnson served his country for more than thirty years as Congressman, Senator, Vice President and President. Yet it can be said of Lyndon Johnson that he served his country all his life, for his was a complete and wholehearted love of our Nation. From his early days as a teacher, to his last days as a distinguished elder statesman, he did his best - to make the promise and the wonder of America become as real in the lives of all his countrymen as it was in his own. He once said that he was a free man, an American, a United States Senator, and a Democrat, in that order. He was also a great patriot. Although he will no longer walk among us, Lyndon Johnson's influ­ ence on our times, which often seemed so much larger than life, cannot be stolen from us by death. Not only the things that he did, but also the spirit with which he did them, will be remembered long after time heals our sorrow at his leaving. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in tribute to the memory of President Johnson, and as an expression of public sorrow, do hereby direct that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff at the White House and on all buildings, grounds, and Naval vessels of the United States for a period of thirty days from the day of his death.

  • "'68: the Fire Last Time," Part 4
    "'68: The Fire Last Time," Part 4 Sunni Khalid - Narrator This week marks the 40th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil unrest that erupted in 125 cities and towns across the nation, including Baltimore. The unrest in Baltimore lasted a little longer than three days but during that time, the violence spread over a thousand city blocks. It took the police, National Guard and federal troops and the tireless efforts of community leaders to end the violence. In that week, six people died, 700 were wounded and more than a thousand businesses were destroyed. In Part Four of our series, "'68: The Fire Last Time," WYPR looks at the aftermath of the upheaval. WYPR's Sunni Khalid picks up the story on Thursday, April 11th, 1968. Fires were still smoldering when Mayor Tommy D'Alesandro learned that Governor Spiro Agnew planned a tongue-lashing for Baltimore's black leaders. "I got advance notice of his speech from one of the TV stations, and I called him. I said, Governor, can you not make the statement or re-do the statement ... not call for a declaration of war with the black community?' Smoke is still present in the city. Let's just have a cooling off period.' But he said, 'Tommy, I'll tell you, that's how I feel and I am going to say it and I'm going to stick by my statement.' Agnew had invited about a hundred of Baltimore's black leaders to a meeting at his Baltimore office.

    Library of Congress Interview with The Honorable Robert E. Hunter , 2011 The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project AMBASSADOR ROBERT E. HUNTER Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: August 10, 2004 Copyright 2010 ADST Q: Today is the 10th of August, 2004. This is an interview with Robert Hunter, middle initial? HUNTER: E. Q: What does that stand for? HUNTER: Edwards Q: And I'm Charles Stuart Kennedy and this is being done on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training. To begin, when and where were you born? HUNTER: The first of May, 1940 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Q: Can you tell me something about the Hunter family; let's start with the father's side. HUNTER: My father was in business, the family was from Quincy, Massachusetts. He was the first person in the family on that side to go to college, he went to Boston University. Graduated the year the Great Depression began. Of course, that was a generation that was very much affected by the Depression and what happened afterwards. Interview with The Honorable Robert E. Hunter , 2011 http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib001708 Library of Congress Q: Where did the Hunters come from? HUNTER: Mostly Scotland, through Nova Scotia. Some Irish, some English, some French, way back. The first ones that show up, on Ancestry.com, I learned only recently, were in Charleston, Mass. in 1636, but we have no family lore on them - as Horatio said, I “do in part believe it!” I know we had some come from Ireland to Massachusetts in the 1740s, and then the next generation left between 1774 and '81 to go to Nova Scotia, which indicates to me they were probably on the wrong side of the Revolution! About the middle of the nineteenth century, they came back to the Quincy area.

  • Memorandum for Sharon Fawcett, Assistant Archivist, Office of Presidential Libraries, National Archives and Records Administration
    MEMORANDUM FOR SHARON FAWCETT, ASSISTANT ARCHIVIST, OFFICE OF PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARIES, NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION From: Ronald H. Walker, Chairman and President, Richard Nixon Foundation Date: August 2, 2010 Subject: Response to Draft Watergate Exhibit We appreciate the opportunity to offer review and comment on Dr. Timothy Naftali’s proposed Watergate exhibit. When finalized, this exhibit will occupy the largest space devoted to a single issue in the Nixon Library. The content and design of the exhibit are obviously of great interest to the National Archives, the Nixon Foundation, the history community, the media, and the general public. It is likely true that no new exhibit in any presidential library will attract the level of scrutiny and attention that this new exhibit is likely to receive. Accordingly, we have devoted considerable time and resources to reviewing the proposed material. Our goal has been to offer a specific and constructive set of comments for your consideration. To pull together such a response I asked several people to review the material. Serving on the team were Bob Bostock, Dwight Chapin, Frank Gannon, Tod Hullin, and Sandy Quinn. We also benefited from the independent submission by Geoff Shepard. The review team has spent countless hours analyzing the proposed exhibit, performing independent research, and developing the comments we present in this memo. Our response is organized as follows: • Identify our shared goals for the exhibit; • Comments on the process used in drafting the exhibit; • General comment on the proposed exhibit as a whole; • Discussion of the “special environment” in which the Nixon Library operates; • Suggestions for collaboration on future exhibits; and • An alternate approach to the Watergate exhibit We also attach our specific comments regarding the proposed exhibit text to this memo for your consideration.
