Important Pen Used by Richard Nixon to Sign Bill at Independence Hall in 1972
RICHARD NIXON. Historically important official Parker pen used by President Richard Nixon to sign ‘An Act to provide fiscal assistance to State and local governments, to authorize Federal collection of State individual income taxes, and for other purposes’ (H.R. 14370) in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia on October 20, 1972. HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT OFFICIAL PARKER PEN USED BY PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON TO SIGN H.R. BILL 14370 INTO LAW IN FRONT OF INDEPENDENCE HALL IN PHILADELPHIA ON OCTOBER 20, 1972 Features a navy-blue plastic barrel bearing a silver facsimile signature and a silver-tone cap section; measures 5.25 inches in length; beautifully matted and framed with its original printed note of provenance, presentation box that contains a facsimile signature, and photograph of Nixon during the signing to an overall size of 19.75 by 19.75 inches; and in very fine condition with only minor wearing to the frame. BEAUTIFULLY MATTED AND FRAMED WITH ITS ORIGINAL PRINTED NOTE OF PROVENANCE, PRESENTATION BOX, AND PHOTOGRAPH OF NIXON DURING THE SIGNING On October 13, 1972, Congress completed action on a bill (H.R. 14370-PL 92-512) establishing a five-year program to share $30,236,400,000 in federal revenues with state and local governments. As cleared, the bill appropriated the amount to a special trust fund for distribution among state and local governments. The conference agreement represented a unique compromise between conflicting House and Senate provisions for allocating revenue-sharing funds and gave states the greater of two amounts available under the different formulas approved by Congress. The compromise averted a possible stalemate in choosing between the House formula, which generally favored more populous and industrial states, and the Senate formula, which favored less populous states. Nixon signed the bill less than three weeks before he defeated George McGovern in the largest margin victory than any U.S. presidential election.
