Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Photo of President Kennedy signing anti-crime bills the Interstate Wire Act. At his right are ceremonial pens. The bills are signed, with the president making a stroke or two of his signature with one of the pens then giving it to someone who played a key role in making the bill a law. He then continues this process, making his signature a bit at a time, in order to produce a number of ceremonial pens, all of which were used to sign the particular bill into law.
  • Left to Right: Senator Kenneth Keating of New York; Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), J. Edgar Hoover; Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy; Chief of the Legislation and Special Projects Section of the Criminal Division in the Department of Justice, Harold D. Koffsky; Deputy Chief of the Legislation and Special Projects Section of the Criminal Division, Edward T. Joyce; Chief Counsel of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Jerry Adlerman.
