T H E W H I T E H O U S E The First Lady's Treasures Tour - National Museum of American History Help Site Map Text Only The First Lady begins her four day Save Our Treasures Tour in Washington, D.C. at the National Museum of American History. At this event, the First Lady will be joined by the President in announcing the start of a restoration project for the American flag displayed at the museum. This flag was made by Mrs. Mary Pickersgill of Baltimore, Maryland in 1813 and was flying over Ft. McHenry at dawn of September 14, 1814, when Francis Scott Key saw it, signifying that the forts commander, Major George Armistead, and his troops had withstood a British attack. Inspired, Key began writing about the sight and the siege of Ft. McHenry. This poem became a popular patriotic song, and in 1931, an Act of Congress declared The Star Spangled Banner our national anthem. Description: The flag measures 30' x 34' and weighs approximately 300 lbs. There are 15 white cotton 5-pointed stars, approximately 24" wide, on blue field of English wool bunting and 15 stripes 8 red and 7 white. Preservation Needs: The conservation effort includes a variety of elements, including the construction of barriers around Flag Hall prior to deinstallation of the flag; The deinstallation of the flag and its removal to the laboratory; Construction of a state-of-the-art conservation laboratory on the Museum premises (with windows so that visitors might view the work in progress); Non-federal employment of a team of conservators and conservation technicians; Equipment and supplies; and research to determine the optimum specifications of the showcase to prolong the life of the flag.

Presidency in Action search: First Lady: Thelma "Pat" Ryan Nixon President: Richard Nixon First Lady: Biography "I know a lot, but you have to keep it to yourself when you're in this position." As First Lady, Thelma "Pat" Ryan Nixon generally kept both her opinions and her activities to herself, especially where the press was concerned. That silence led many to refer to her as "Plastic Pat," a woman whose smile seemed forever fixed on a face that rarely expressed ideas or emotions. But such a nickname overlooks the strong political opinions Pat Nixon expressed on particular issues. She responded to questions about the Vietnam War without evasion, publicly supported the Equal Rights Amendment and the appointment of women to Supreme Court vacancies, believed that abortion was a "private decision," and supported the goal of the Women's National Political Caucus of getting more women elected to government positions, regardless of their party affiliation. The First Lady also expressed a genuine concern for people. On a return trip from California to the White House, Pat learned of a flash flood in South Dakota that had killed two hundred people, amending her flight schedule so she could attend the memorial service. When an earthquake triggered an avalanche in the mountainous region of Peru, killing eighty thousand people and rendering another eighty thousand homeless, she worked with voluntary organizations to gather and transport needed supplies, helped launch an American relief drive, and then visited the devastated region herself.

Kennedy Library and Museum, visitors will see a gown made 44 years ago whose 50 yards of ivory silk taffeta have been carefully preserved for future generations of museum-goers to reflect upon and admire. Behind the scene of the First Lady's wedding dress display, which will be featured in a special exhibit on the wedding of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier through Labor Day, is the work of the Textile Conservation Center (TCC) - a nonprofit regional conservation center and department of the American Textile History Museum in Lowell. "The project began last year in cooperation with JFK Library's curator, Frank Rigg, and designer, Amy Foreman," says Deirdre Windsor, Chief Conservator of the TCC," when we were invited to the Library to examine the condition of the dress fabric. The task of preparing the dress for exhibit was actually two projects: conserving the wedding gown itself, and custom-making a mannequin for display purposes."

White House Home Department of Faith Homeland Security The First Lady ... GeorgeWBush.org In This Installment (07.01.2003): MRS. GEORGE W. BUSH: FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Mrs. George W. Bush is the kind of First Lady who makes American women proud to stand up and sit down for what their husbands believe in again. As only the second President's wife in history to earn a mannish post-graduate degree, she has nevertheless redeemed herself by wisely conforming to her mother-in-law's strict "procreation and libation" mandate. Along with Bess Truman, Mrs. Bush is also one of only two First Ladies to immediately succeed a bona fide East Wing lezz-bean. Mrs. Bush answered your "Ask the White House" questions on July 1, 2003. Mrs. Bush: Jim , from Bluefield, WV writes: I am an education major in my first year of college and was wondering if you had any advice for a future teacher. Thanks for answering my question. Mrs. Bush: As one who spent just over a year actually teaching, and over twenty years talking about it, my advice is simple. Find yourself a Stetson-wearing alpha male who'll let you stay home and Clorox cabinets, and GET OUT as soon as you can before those inquisitive little brats drive you stark raving mad.
