The White House State Dinner  [PDF]

A state dinner honoring a visiting head of government or reigning monarch is one of the grandest and most glamorous of White House affairs. But behind the festive exterior of the social scene, the important business of government goes on — information is gathered — opinions exchanged — powerful connections made and appearances upheld. For these reasons White House state dinner invitations are the most important and the most sought after in the nation’s social whirl.

The President and the Power to Conserve the American Frontier  [PDF]

"The underlying principle of conservation has been described as the application of common sense to common problems for the common good. If the description is correct, then conservation is the great fundamental basis for national efficiency. In this stage of the world's history, to be fearless, to be just, and to be efficient are the three great requirements of national life." -- President Theodore Roosevelt
