TLS as president, one page, 7 x 10.25, White House letterhead, December 2, 1966. Letter to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. In full: “The attached letter [not present] from me to you is, I think, self-explanatory. I am anxious to do everything in my power to minimize Federal spending this year and next. You know about the $5 billion cutback in Federal programs I just announced. In turn, I know how hard you are working to pare Service requests, both for the 1967 supplemental and the 1968 budget. I wrote the attached letter so that you could use it with your Service Secretaries and Joint Chiefs to get their fullest cooperation in reaching your objective.” In fine condition, with show-through from stamp on reverse at top, not affecting any text or Johnson’s crisp signature. Letter originates from the estate of Robert S. McNamara.
