Six pages of Kilduff’s notes from during the Dallas trip on sheets and slips of various sizes, primarily pencil on lined yellow sheets. Various notes include: “Medal Honor winners Garcia & Adams,” “Houston…B.B.B. Rice Hotel,” “Dick Nelson to Bill Moyer[s],” “Knows LBJ still popular. LBJ Will Rogers Suite. Originals Remmington & Russells,” and “Albert Thomas—Tex, when plane sets down, VP & LBJ, JFK-JBC & Cong. Thomas, Houston, Present yellow roses to LBJ & JBK,” “Dallas...Baxton Bryant...Demonstrate against sponsors of lunch.” In overall fine condition, with various creases and wear. Notes originate from the estate of the Assistant Press Secretary Malcolm Kilduff. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Erik L. Dorr. Serving as Kennedy's Assistant White House Press Secretary, and the ranking Press Secretary on the tragic trip to Dallas, Kilduff is best remembered for announcing the death of the president that fateful day in November. After receiving confirmation that Johnson was safely on Air Force One, he made the famous address to the press assembled at Parkland Hospital: ‘President John F. Kennedy died at approximately 1:00 CST today here in Dallas. He died of a gunshot wound to the brain. I have no other details regarding the assassination of the president.’ An interesting collection of typical day-to-day notes from what would become the farthest from a typical trip to Dallas.
