The letter is typed on official White House letterhead. See also Johnson's official White House biography (http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/lj36.html) and a guide to research collections of his papers (http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=J000160). See also letters of congratulation from Shafer, the Pennsylvania governor, and James King, president of the Bethlehem Building and Loan. Johnson writes to Foering to congratulate him on his 100th birthday, as Congressman Rooney has just informed him. Johnson wishes Foering an "abundance of joy and satisfaction" in the future. Before assuming the duties as President Kennedy's Vice President, Johnson fought in World War II in the Navy, then returned home to serve as a Representative and a Senator from Texas, becoming the 36th President of the United States upon Kennedy's assassination, and fulfilling the duties of that office from 1963 to 1969.
