Additionally, Chief Rowley presented the\nPresident with a trophy (about 8\"-9\" high with a 12\"-14\" base)\nwhich bore a large gold medallion commemorating the 100th\nanniversary of the U.S. Secret Service (July 5, 1965).\nThe President appeared to be in good spirits and accepted the badge\nand trophy most cordially. He then asked Jim Rowley if the badge\ncould be mounted in a fashion similar to that of the medallion and\nJim assured him that it could. With that the President handed the\nbadge to Jim and commented about the 1-1-1 record of the Redskins.\nSeveral minutes of light conversation followed -- all pertinent to pro-\nfootball and Sonny Jurgenson. Eugene Rossides made the point that\nJurgenson was considered by many of the experts superior in ability\nto both Unitas and Bart Starr. A moment later the group left the\nOval office and the President returned to his desk.\nALEXANDER P. BUTTERFIELD"
