Description

Significant 1961 cabinet commission from President Kennedy, appointing future Supreme Court Justice Arthur J. Goldberg as his secretary of labor

Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 23.25 x 19, March 15, 1961. President Kennedy appoints Arthur J. Goldberg as “Secretary of Labor." Signed neatly at the conclusion by President Kennedy and countersigned by Secretary of State Dean Rusk. The embossed white paper seal affixed to the lower left remains fully intact. In fine condition. The following year, Kennedy would appoint Goldberg to an even larger role—Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Goldberg would serve on the Court from September 28, 1962, to July 26, 1965, where his liberal views shifted the Court's balance toward a broader construction of constitutional rights.
