  • 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.

  • Richard Nixon's 1969 Prepresidential Papers Tax Deduction
    THE FIRST NIXON PAPERS CONTROVERSY: RICHARD NIXON'S 1969 PREPRESIDENTIAL PAPERS TAX DEDUCTION BY MATTHEW G. BROWN ABSTRACT This article examines President Richard Nixon's gift of a portion of his prepresidential papers to the United States, his attempt to take an illegal tax deduction for this gift, and the role of archivists in bringing the matter to public attention. The chronology of the gift draws on interviews with participants in the affair, and on records held by the National Archives' Nixon Presidential Materials staff. The article explores causes and implications of the affair and concludes that the scandal resulted in part from the acts of certain Nixon administration officials and from the National Archives' placement under the General Services Administration (GSA). The article also examines the negation of the Presidential Records Act by several recent executive orders and the likelihood of future scandals involving presidential records at the National Archives. Richard Nixon has the dubious distinction of being the only president of the United States to resign his office. His administration's records are similarly distinguished as having required the passage of special legislation to prevent their seizure by the presi- dent. The status of these presidential materials has embroiled the National Archives in controversy and litigation ever since. The Watergate affair was not the first scandal caused by the legal status and ownership of Richard Nixon's records. The first Nixon papers controversy centered on whether legal transfer of a selection of Nixon's prepresidential papers to the federal government had been made before a cutoff date set by Congress in tax reform legislation.

  • The President's Conservatives: Richard Nixon and the American Conservative Movement
    ALL THE PRESIDENT'S CONSERVATIVES: RICHARD NIXON AND THE AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT. David Sarias Rodriguez Department of History University of Sheffield Submitted for the degree of PhD October 2010 ABSTRACT This doctoral dissertation exammes the relationship between the American conservative movement and Richard Nixon between the late 1940s and the Watergate scandal, with a particular emphasis on the latter's presidency. It complements the sizeable bodies ofliterature about both Nixon himself and American conservatism, shedding new light on the former's role in the collapse of the post-1945 liberal consensus. This thesis emphasises the part played by Nixon in the slow march of American conservatism from the political margins in the immediate post-war years to the centre of national politics by the late 1960s. The American conservative movement is treated as a diverse epistemic community made up of six distinct sub-groupings - National Review conservatives, Southern conservatives, classical liberals, neoconservatives, American Enterprise Institute conservatives and the 'Young Turks' of the New Right - which, although philosophically and behaviourally autonomous, remained intimately associated under the overall leadership of the intellectuals who operated from the National Review. Although for nearly three decades Richard Nixon and American conservatives endured each other in a mutually frustrating and yet seemingly unbreakable relationship, Nixon never became a fully-fledged member of the movement. Yet, from the days of Alger Hiss to those of the' Silent Majority', he remained the political actor best able to articulate and manipulate the conservative canon into a populist, electorally successful message. During his presidency, the administration's behaviour played a crucial role - even if not always deliberately - in the momentous transformation of the conservative movement into a more diverse, better-organised, modernised and more efficient political force.
