1973rif. 129841973. 1973 Presidential Inaugural Ball ticket for Richard M. Nixon and Spiro T. Agnew documents the January 20 1973 festivities accompanying their inauguration to second terms as President and Vice President preserving material evidence of the ceremonial and social functions surrounding a consequential presidential transition. Nixon and Agnew took their respective oaths that day at the East Portico of the United States Capitol. As admission ephemera from the evening celebration the ticket records the formal public culture of the inauguration through its named venue prescribed dress admission instructions and associated commemorative favor. Comprises one numbered 1973 Inaugural Ball admission ticket No. 8798 measuring 7 x 3 inches with a gold seal reading "Inauguration of President and Vice President" together with a ticket "to be exchanged at Ball for ONE Inaugural ball favor." The admission stub specifies: "The Inaugural Ball John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts 2700 F Street Northwest Saturday Evening January 20 1973 Nine O'Clock Washington D.C. Black Tie." The principal portion reads: "1973 Inaugural Ball Admit One John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Enter from Hall of States This ticket must be presented at entrance Good only at location specified." These inscriptions establish the precise venue hour entrance point dress requirement and admission procedures for the Kennedy Center event while the accompanying favor ticket documents an additional element of the evening's commemorative program. The ticket survives from the opening day of a second Nixon administration that underwent an extraordinary change in national leadership within the following nineteen months: Agnew resigned the vice presidency on October 10 1973 and was succeeded by Gerald R. Ford under the Twenty Fifth Amendment; Nixon subsequently resigned the presidency on August 9 1974 amid the Watergate crisis. The ephemera therefore provides a sharply dated record of the ceremonial beginning of the Nixon Agnew second term before both men left their elected offices. No specific defects are noted in the supplied description; near fine. A well-preserved grouping of inaugural ephemera retaining both admission and favor components from the January 20 1973 Kennedy Center ball. unknown books
1973rif. 129901973. Senate inauguration ticket 1973 documents spectator access to Richard M. Nixon and Spiro T. Agnew's second presidential inauguration and together with an accompanying White House entrance card preserves two forms of official access ephemera associated with the federal government in Washington D.C. Nixon and Agnew took their respective oaths that day at the East Portico of the United States Capitol beginning second terms as the 37th President and 39th Vice President. The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies identifies January 20 1973 as the 47th presidential inauguration and lists Senator Howard W. Cannon as chairman and Kentucky Senator Marlow W. Cook among the committee members. Grouping comprises two card stock admission pieces: one 2 x 4 inch yellow Senate ticket dated January 20 1973 for the Capitol grounds in Washington D.C. and one 2½ x 3 inch White House entrance card printed with a yellow image of the White House. The Senate credential's designation for "Preferred Standing Room SENATE" and its instruction that it be presented only at a specified intersection record the physical organization of spectator access to the inaugural ceremony. The accompanying White House card gives a separate form of controlled entry through the East Entrance and requires identification. Because the White House card itself is undated and does not mention the inauguration its precise relationship to the January 20 ceremonies cannot be established from its printed text alone. The timing of the Senate ticket is particularly significant in retrospect: Agnew resigned as vice president on October 10 1973 and Nixon resigned the presidency on August 9 1974 leaving this inaugural ephemera as documentation of the ceremonial opening of an elected presidential ticket that would not remain intact through its second term. 1 United States Senate. Inauguration Ceremonies Preferred Standing Room Senate Ticket. Washington D.C. 1973. Yellow card measuring 2 x 4 inches reading "January Twentieth 1973 Inauguration Ceremonies admit bearer to Preferred Standing Room Area Only Capitol Ground Preferred Standing Room SENATE." Printed signatures are identified in the supplied description as Howard W. Cannon and "Marlan W. Cook" with "Co-Chairmen Committee on Arrangements"; official Senate records establish the Kentucky senator's name as Marlow W. Cook. The reverse reads "This ticket to be presented only at Constitution and Delaware Avenues F-937" furnishing a precise entry point and ticket designation for Senate-area spectators. 2 The White House. Entrance Card. Washington D.C. n.d. White card stock measuring 2½ x 3 inches with the White House printed in yellow in the background reading "Please present this card with identification at The East Entrance The White House Not Transferable." Both cards are reported without specific defects; near fine. A focused pairing of federal access ephemera documenting the practical experience of admission to the Capitol grounds during Nixon and Agnew's 1973 inauguration supplemented by a contemporary White House entrance credential. unknown books
1972rif. 76751972. Nixon Richard M. Unissued White House Award of Excellence for environmental protection services documenting the federal government's effort to recognize environmental achievement during the Nixon administration. The certificate belongs to the period in which environmental protection became a more formal component of national policy: Nixon signed the National Environmental Policy Act on January 1 1970 and submitted the reorganization plan that established the Environmental Protection Agency later that year. A presidential advisory committee for an Environmental Merit Award Program was subsequently created in 1972 within the EPA placing this award within the administration's broader use of federal recognition to encourage environmental service. The President of the United States Presents This Award of Excellence. White House Washington D.C. circa 1972. Printed award certificate featuring a large color presidential eagle seal and the text: "The President of the United States presents this Award of Excellence to blank for outstanding achievement in environmental protection services." A stamped facsimile signature of Richard Nixon appears below the presentation text. The recipient line was never completed and the document is unsigned. Its unused state preserves the certificate as an example of the standardized material prepared for a federal environmental recognition program rather than as evidence of an award to a particular person or organization. No recipient inscription handling damage or significant surface wear reported; mint condition. An intact unissued presidential certificate illustrating the ceremonial language and visual identity used to promote environmental achievement during the formative years of federal environmental administration. unknown books
