Regan as "United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri." Boldly signed at the conclusion in fountain pen by President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. The embossed gold foil Department of Justice seal affixed to the lower left remains intact. Framed to an overall size of 21 x 17 and in fine condition.
