RFK Signed Visa Application "For Journalistic Purposes." PSA Encapsulated

Extraordinary Typed Document Signed, "Robert Kennedy", 2 p. front and verso, 4to., [New York, ca. late-1950s], Fine condition. From the collection of Ronald Hoskins, assassinologist. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA to an overall size of 10" x 13.5".

Kennedy's application in Hungarian and English "for Hungarian visas or transit-visas by persons of foreign nationality". The application, rubber stamped: "Cosmos Travel Bureau, Inc./45 West 45th Street/New York 36, N.Y..." at upper left, bears 5 of the 18 questions with RFK's typed answers: "Profession: Lawyer Washington, D.C...Purpose of visit to Hungary: Journalistic purposes...For how long do you wish to reside in Hungary? Two or three days...Passport date of expiration Dec. 9, 1962...In case of transit visa, country of destination: By automobile from Yugoslavia." This application is undated except for a partial year (195_). It is entirely possible that Kennedy sought to "cover" the Hungarian Revolution (1956) as a "journalist" to obtain information on his brother's behalf.

ROBERT F. KENNEDY (1925-1968) American politician who successfully managed his brother John's presidential campaign and was later appointed Attorney General. He was assassinated in 1968 while running for president.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
