Description

President Nixon requests a review from the Secretary of Labor "regarding a possible increase in the minimum wage"

DS as president, signed “RN,” one page, 8 x 10.5, White House letterhead, February 13, 1969. A memorandum for the "Honorable George P. Shultz, Secretary of Labor," in full: "One of the last acts of the outgoing Secretary of Labor was to forward a report to the Congress regarding the minimum wage laws. In this report, he recommended, among other things, that the minimum wage per hour be increased to $2.00. He also reported that the recent increases in the minimum wage had no adverse effect on job opportunities. (See item X-7 in the report from Arthur Burns' group) I request that you review the minimum wage question with Mr. Stans and Mr. Romney. Your views regarding a possible increase in the minimum wage and its impact on employment opportunities should be forwarded to me by March 10, 1969." In fine condition, with multiple staple holes to the upper left corner.
