Remarkable ‘Pocket Congressional Directory’ for the 83rd US Congress, January 1953, 4.5 x 5.75, 196 pages, signed throughout by every senator—including John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson—and Vice President Richard Nixon. In addition to Nixon, Kennedy, and Johnson, the other especially notable signers include Joseph R. McCarthy, Barry Goldwater, J. William Fulbright, Prescott Bush, Hubert H. Humphrey, and Margaret Chase Smith. In fine condition, with a bit of brushing to some signatures. The owner of this piece was in the service and attended law school at Georgetown, and while in Washington worked as an elevator operator in the Capitol. Dating to Kennedy’s first year in the Senate and his future opponent Richard Nixon’s first year in the White House, this directory features the autographs of not only multiple future presidents and vice presidents, but some of the greatest political movers-and-shakers of the Cold War era.
