Details:

John F. Kennedy White House “The President’s Engagements” memo sheet dated Thursday, October 17, 1963, measuring approximately 5.75 x 9.25 inches. Printed on official White House memorandum stationery, the sheet records a full day of President Kennedy’s scheduled appointments during the final weeks of his presidency.

The memo begins with a 10:00 a.m. meeting with Sir Garfield Barwick, Australia’s Minister of External Affairs, followed by a meeting with representatives of the shoe industry. The day’s principal events center on the official White House visit of President Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia, including an arrival ceremony, a private meeting with President Kennedy and senior administration officials, a White House luncheon in honor of President Tito and Mrs. Broz, and a second meeting later that afternoon. The schedule provides a fascinating glimpse into the diplomatic responsibilities of the Kennedy White House during the height of the Cold War.

Overall in very good condition with light expected age toning and handling.

Provenance: From the personal collection of Evelyn Lincoln, President John F. Kennedy’s longtime Personal Secretary. Lincoln served at Kennedy’s side throughout his presidency and carefully preserved thousands of documents, schedules, memoranda, and personal papers from the White House.
