the honorary chair of this campaign is former first lady laura bush. a great first lady -- today, our panel will primarily discuss the role of three first ladies. mrs. kennedy, mrs. johnson and mrs. nixon. in the preservation of the white house. i do think it is also important to briefly acknowledge a few of their broader contributions to preservation as well. in addition to creating white house historic preservation, mrs. kennedy preserved lockdown square. sparing it from new buildings that would have radically altered its character. in doing so, helping to establish the idea that the federal government should preserve cultural landscapes like the square. in 1966, when president johnson sent the final version of the national historic preservation act of congress it was accompanied by a handwritten note, that stated simply, lady bird wants it. on may the 8th 1973, almost exactly 50 years ago today, first lady patricia nixon read the first presidential proclamation of preservation act. at the decatur house. saying as the pace of change accelerates in th
