Description

Appointment to “the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission”

Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 23 x 19, July 3, 1969. President Nixon appoints Daniel J. Boorstin, of Illinois, “a Member of the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission, and do authorize and empower him to execute and fulfill the duties of that Office according to law.” Signed at the conclusion by Nixon and countersigned by Secretary of State William P. Rogers. Document is affixed to a same size mount. The white wafer seal remains crisp and intact. In fine condition. It was initially made up of certain designated Federal officials and seventeen members of the public appointed by the president. The Commission was terminated in December, 1973, when it was replaced by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration. Boorstin would go on to become the twelfth Librarian of the United States Congress in 1975, serving until 1987, where he was instrumental in the creation of the Library of Congress Center for the Book. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
