[Rarebooks] FS: Jimmy Carter SIGNED Letter as President to Iowa Congressman

[Charles Agvent]

CARTER, Jimmy. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS) as President. Washington DC, 3 
February 1978. On White House stationery (7" x 10-1/2") SIGNED by the 
president as "Jimmy" to Congressman Neal Smith of Iowa asking him to 
vote to create "a small Office of Consumer Representation." This bill, 
which would have created a consumer advocacy agency at the federal 
level, was defeated by the House of Representatives in a 227-189 vote on 
8 February 1978, a victory for big business interests. Original 
transmittal envelope "By Special Messenger" stapled to the rear of the 
letter. With an Inauguration Day Official Cover postmarked 20 January 
1977 in Plains, GA. Short tear along one fold. Fine. (#020842)        $850
