Ornate clothbound guest book from the estate of Democratic political advisor and administrator Clark Clifford, who served as secretary of defense under Johnson from 1968-1969, 12.5 x 9, signed inside by dozens of events attendees, with most pages headed with the date when they were signed. Signers include: Lyndon B. Johnson (2), Lady Bird Johnson (2), Dean Rusk (2), Walt W. Rostow (2), Abe Fortas (2), Henry H. Fowler (2), William C. Westmoreland (2), Pete Quesada, Maxwell Taylor, Hubert H. Humphrey, Arthur Krim, Herman Wouk, Ted Kennedy, J. William Fulbright, W. Averell Harriman, Orville L. Freeman, Alan S. Boyd, Henry M. Jackson, and more. Interestingly, LBJ signed on January 20, 1969, his last day in office. After Nixon was sworn in, Johnson went to the Clifford reception before flying home to Texas. In very good condition, with many of the thick pages completely detached from the binding.
