President Ronald Reagan personally owned Executive Order pen, used to sign the President's Commission on Organized Crime established in 1984. This important order was implemented to establish a region-by-region analysis of organized crime across the U.S. With a letter of provenance dated 6 February 1984 and signed in autopen, letter is addressed to Judge Irving Kaufman who was Chairman of the President's Commission on Organized Crime: ''I am pleased to provide you with the enclosed pen, which I used at the Rose Garden signing ceremony last July for our Commission on Organized Crime. Your commission is vitally important to our promise to do all in our power to break apart and cripple the organized criminal syndicates that our country has tolerated for too long. I know that you have been a leader in the fight against organized crime for decades, and you have my deepest appreciation for your leadership and hard work.'' Pen, letter, original envelope and plaque displaying Reagan's full name are all nicely matted and framed to an overall size of 18.25'' x 12.25''. Some minor scuffing to frame, else near fine.
