Description

An interview given to help the nation “understand a little better the problems of the Presidency and of democratic governments in our world”

TLS signed “L. B. J.,” one page, 7 x 8.75, personal letterhead, February 11, 1972. Letter to Lawrence E. Spivak of Meet the Press. In part: “It was awfully kind of you to send me your judgment of the recent interview on television. Coming, as they do, from a seasoned veteran of the medium, your views were doubly appreciated. If the program helped those who saw it to understand a little better the problems of the Presidency and of democratic governments in our world, I am more than content.” At the conclusion, Johnson adds in his own hand: “I’m so glad it pleased you.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope bearing a printed free frank, and Spivak’s retained carbon copy of his initial letter, telling LBJ that the interview was one of the “most fascinating and revealing” that he had ever seen. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
