JFK Military Appt. 1961
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Original press release from the Kennedy administration appointing General Maxwell D. Taylor as ''Military Representative.'' Dated 26 June 1961, Kennedy taps Taylor to ''give his personal views to assist the President in reaching decisions.'' Following the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion, JFK appointed Taylor to head a task force investigating its failure. Kennedy came to trust Taylor immensely, leading to his appointment as a close military advisor. 4pp. legal-sized document includes Taylor's bio. Creasing to last page, else fine.
