Assistant White House Press Secretary Malcolm Kilduff’s personally-owned and -used green vinyl souvenir document portfolio case, 15 x 11, gilt-stamped on the front with an Irish harp and text in English and Gaelic, reading: “Visit of President Kennedy to Ireland June 1963.” The portfolio contains a single pocket with a plastic zippered closure beneath the flap. Scattered marks, dings, and soiling from use, otherwise fine condition. Originates from the estate of Malcolm Kilduff and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Erik L. Dorr. Kilduff was the ranking press secretary on the tragic trip to Dallas, and is best remembered for announcing the death of the president. A similar example was one of four inner portfolios in Kennedy’s black alligator briefcase at the time of his assassination, now held in the National Archives.
