Archivist Jenna de Graffenried at the Johnson Library writes:
“We have correspondence between Lady Bird Johnson and Alice Pratt Brown (Mrs. George R. Brown) in the White House Social File (WHSF), Box 265. There are numerous personal notes, along with correspondence related to Alice Brown's position on the Committee for the Preservation of the White House. We have a folder in the WHSF on the Kennedy Center, but there is no mention of Alice Brown. I have not found any meeting minutes.
According to the President's Daily Diary, on August 26, 1964, President Johnson appointed Alice Brown trustee to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The 15 trustees appointed by President Johnson served terms varying in length; Brown's term was six years (expiring September 1, 1970).”
