Kennedy at the Municipal Auditorium in Austin, Texas, on the night of the assassination, November 22, 1963, totaling seven pages, measuring from 8.5 x 11 to 8.5 x 14. The press releases supply the media with news pertaining to Kennedy's visit and promotes the sale of tickets to the dinner; one serves as a who's-who of the guest list, and the president's motorcade lineup is furnished as well. In fine condition.
Organized by the State Democratic Executive Committee, more than 5,000 Austinites planned to attend this fundraising dinner on the final stop of the president's tour of Texas. Scheduled to occur on the night of Kennedy's assassination, the dinner would never take place.
