JFK Press Release 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 JFK Administration dated 6 February 1961, highlighting the discovery by First Lady Jackie Kennedy of the H.M.S. Resolute desk, which we all remember little John Kennedy peeking out from under. Given to President Rutherford B. Hayes by the United Kingdom, the desk had been tucked away in the basement of the White House until Mrs. Kennedy's discovery. She moved the historic desk to the Oval Office where it has remained since. 8.5'' x 14'' press release in near fine condition.
