Lot of 1000+ items. Massive collection of letters, documents, and more from the US congressional career of William H. Natcher (1909-94) a Kentucky (Democrat) who served in Congress 41 consecutive years (1953-94) without missing a vote. He ended his long tenure as Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. The archive is comprised primarily of letters from US Senators, Congressmen, Governors, Industry Heads, Cabinet Members, Diplomats, Heads of State, Labor and Civil Rights Leaders, Mayors, and more. Much good content, including issues concerning the Vietnam War, Campus Unrest, Constitutional Amendments, and Equal Rights. Individuals represented in the collection include Sergeant and Eunice Shriver, Congressman Joe Kennedy, early Leon Panetta and Nancy Pelosi, Abzug, Stanton, Humphrey, Tip O’Neil and other Speakers, and many more. The collection also includes numerous White House engraved invitations (beginning with Eisenhower), tickets, 22 Large White House Christmas Cards (i.e., Kennedy 1961 and 1963; Johnson 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968; Nixon 1970 (Jefferson Card); Ford 1974 (2), 1975, 1976; Reagan 1983, 1985 (signed in pencil by the artist) (& medium size 1985); Bush 1989, 1991 (and medium size 1991); Clinton 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996; Bush 2002, 2008). Natcher was a Kentucky native who served in the US Navy during World War II. First elected to the US Congress in 1953 from the Kentucky's 2nd congressional district, he cast 18,401 consecutive roll-call votes between 1953 and 1994, never missing a single roll call vote until his last days in office. This is still the all-time record for both houses of Congress. Natcher refused to accept campaign contributions. He was Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee from 1993 to 1994. Unlike most Southerners, he did not sign the 1956 Southern Manifesto. In 1994 he was awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal by President Clinton, and died 25 days later. The William H. Natcher Green River Parkway in Kentucky and the William H. Natcher Conference Center at the National Institute of Health are named in his honor. Condition: Collection is too large to fully describe, but a dealers gold mine and worthy of in-person examination.
