A CHARITABLE DONATION FROM THE PRESIDENT IN THE AMOUNT OF [$1,000] TO HANDS ACROSS AMERICA, an organization that staged a media-spectacle on 25 May 1986: a human chain of people holding hands from New York to California, as a gesture of solidarity for the poor. Reagan joined the chain in California, against the opposition of the Secret Service. -- NIXON, Richard M. (1913-1994). Printed check accomplished by typewriter and signed ("Richard Nixon"), drawn against Riggs National Bank, Washington D.C., 6 February 1956. 1 p., oblong (3 x 8 1/8 in.), with "Richard Nixon office account" printed along left edge . NIXON REIMBURSES "PETTY CASH" with this check made out to cash for $98.90, early in the re-election year of 1956.

Johnson"), drawn on Johnson City Bank, Johnson City, Texas, 4 March 1969. 1 p., oblong (2¾ x 6¼ in.), on blue safety paper, with vignette of cattle and sheep in upper left corner .
