Description

LBJ recognizes California's congressional delegation as "pillars of strength in creating the great legislative record of this Congress"

TLS as president, one page, 7 x 10.25, White House letterhead, August 31, 1965. Letter to the Hon. Harold T. Johnson, a representative from California. In full: "Mrs. Johnson and I certainly regret our inability to come to the buffet honoring the twenty-three Democratic Members of the House of Representatives from California. All of you have been pillars of strength in creating the great legislative record of this Congress. I can testify that you have served your country extremely well, and I am sure that your great Governor, Pat Brown, is just as proud of the way you have served your State. I look forward to continuing our close working cooperation in the coming year and in the next Congress.

I also want to give my thanks to those who are joining with you to help make certain that you have the facilities to see that the voters are informed of how well you have served them here in Washington. All of you richly deserve the testimonial of esteem you are receiving, and I extend my warm best wishes to each of you." In very good to fine condition, with irregular toning, affecting only appearance.
