Jackie Kennedy talks about getting a curator for the White House

Close up of Jacqueline Kennedy's face as she sits in a chair. She has short hair and is wearing a pearl necklace. She says: "The first thing I'd like to do is have a catalog made for the White House, with a description and the history of every piece in every room and who gave it, so that they can learn history. And to get a catalog, one must get a curator. We're working on that now. And he will be the historian of the White House. No one will give us beautiful pieces of furniture unless they know they're going to be cared for and treated as a museum."
