Jackie says...
"My husband has so many meetings up here...all the men who want to see him now sit in the hall with baby carriages going by them. So (now after the restoration of the Monroe Room) they can sit in here...."
President Kennedy "handsome, resplendent" enters the room and greets Mr. Collingswood.
Mr. Collingswood says...
"Mrs. Kennedy has been showing us about the White House and all the changes she's made."
The President responds...
"I think (Jackie's brought) us much more intimately in contact with all the men who lived here."
*The Monroe Room, renamed the Treaty Room, was the location of President James Monroe's French Empire center table & a copy of the desk on which he signed the Monroe Doctrine. The room, decorated for Mrs. Kennedy by Stephane Boudin, includes a wallpaper reproduction from the room in which President Lincoln died at the Petersen House.
