Description

The governor promises “full ‘military might’…to help you resist aggression” as protestors gather in Berkeley

Draft ALS signed “RR,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, State of California letterhead, May 3, 1967. Draft letter reads, in full: “Be assured that the full ‘military might’ of the Southeast corner will be mobilized instantly to help you resist aggression and preserve your right of self determination. Needless to say, I expect every Senator to sell his life dearly.” In fine condition. On May 15, 1969, Reagan sent the California Highway Patrol to quell protests at UC Berkeley in an incident that came to be known as ‘Bloody Thursday.’ He then had 2200 National Guard troops occupy the city of Berkeley for an additional two weeks to maintain order. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
