Jackie Kennedy interviews to be released
Daughter Caroline Kennedy allows tapes of seven previously unheard interviews to be released, having been sealed up ever since they took place in 1964More than six hours of interviews with Jacqueline Kennedy, recorded in early 1964 in the raw aftermath of her husband’s assassination, are to be made public for the first time next year after her daughter Caroline Kennedy agreed to unseal the tapes and offer the transcripts for publication.The interviews, recorded on quarter-inch open reel audio tape in seven separate sessions, have been closed to all listening under strict seal at the John F Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston ever since they were conducted. It was Jackie Kennedy’s wish that she remain unheard for an unspecified period.Now Caroline Kennedy, who as the sole remaining child of the presidential couple owns the rights to the tapes, has agreed to allow the recordings to be made public and the transcripts to be turned into a book that Hyperion plans to publish in September 2011.The release is designed as a highlight of a series of events to mark the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy administration that entered the White House in January 1961.Details of the precise content of the recordings remain elusive; the security over the sealed tapes has been so tight that not even the library’s archivists have listened to them. A CD version has been made for Caroline who will edit and introduce them in the book form, along with notes and annotations from an historian who has yet to be announced.The interviews were held in Kennedy’s home in Washington in the spring of 1964, with the historian and Kennedy family friend Arthur Schlesinger Jr acting as interlocutor. According to Hyperion, the president’s widow talks with rare intimacy about her married life in the White House; how she came to see her role as first lady develop during almost three years in the role; her husband’s early political campaigns and handling of the Cuban missile crisis in October 1962; and his ambitions in office should he have won a second term.Kennedy was 31 when she entered the White House. She was one of the youngest first ladies ever, and went on to become one of the most celebrated. She agreed to be interviewed by Schlesinger after her husband’s death in November 1963 as part of an oral history project that involved key figures in and around the short-lived Kennedy administration.
