Lot 23
Eisenhower, Dwight D. Typed letter signed as President, 1 page, on The White House letterhead, 8¾ x 6¾", Washington, July 6, 1960. Marked "Personal," to Albert H. Quie, U.S. Representative from Minnesota (1958-1979), thanking him for supporting Eisenhower's "veto of the recent Federal pay legislation. I know that you share my conviction that through the failure to sustain the veto the nation has been saddled with an additional, and largely unjustified, annual explenditure of eight hundred million dollars….although we were overridden this fact does not in the least detract from the value of your example of courageous statesmanship…." Very fine. Accompanied by an engraving. On June 30, 1960, Eisenhower had vetoed a bill to increase the salaries of Federal employees. The Congress passed the bill over his veto.
Estimated Value $800 - 1,000.
