Billy Graham (1918-2018) was a Southern Baptist minister with a close personal friendship to President Lyndon B. Johnson. The recipient of this copy, Jack Valenti, served as Special Assistant to Johnson in the mid-60s. In an interview from 1982, Graham remembers a stay at Camp David in which Johnson "had Jack Valenti reading an evangelistic sermon" to multiple members of the Cabinet (UPI 1982). The two frequently crossed paths during their time alongside the Johnson administration.
