TLS as president signed “John Kennedy,” one page, 7 x 10.25, pale green White House letterhead, March 23, 1961. Kennedy writes to Governor Elbert N. Carvel of Delaware. In part: “I very much appreciate your courtesy, and that of the other Governors and Mayors concerned, in transmitting to me the proposed interstate-Federal compact for the Delaware River Basin. This compact culminates many years of negotiation among the States of the Delaware River Basin…. The compact is unique in the form of organization and the extent of Federal participation proposed. I am, therefore, requesting Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall as my representative to take leadership in reviewing this compact…. I strongly support the objective of comprehensive and fully cooperative Federal-State planning for water resources development. I can assure you that every effort will be made to achieve this objective in the Delaware River Basin.” Cloth matted and framed with a portrait of Kennedy and a small plaque, to an overall size of 25 x 23. Horizontal mailing fold touching a few letters of signature, and an office “received” stamp to top left corner, otherwise fine, clean condition. Among the newly elected chief executive’s first orders of business was signing legislation to create the Delaware River Basin Commission. Joined by Carvel and the governors of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York, the legislation marked the first time that the federal government and a group of states joined together as equal partners in a river basin planning, development, and regulatory agency. Prior to this compact, some 43 state agencies, 14 interstate agencies, and 19 federal agencies exercised competing—and overlapping—powers within the watershed, which stretches 330 miles from the Delaware River's headwaters near Hancock, New York, to the mouth of the Delaware Bay.
