Title: President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson

Description: President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon Johnson meet in the Oval Office. Ship models and art work in the Oval Office reflected President Kennedy’s naval career and love of the sea. Because he experienced back pain, President Kennedy often sat in a special rocking chair that gave him proper support.
