TELEVISION TAKES A TOUR OF THE WHITE HOUSE - WITH THE FIRST LADY - CBS-TV - CIRCA FEBRUARY 14, 1962

As America welcomes a new First Family to reside in the White House, you can rewind to a rare, video tour of the Presidential mansion, with First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy acting as a most authoritative, and telegenic, guide.

Produced by CBS Television, the 60 minute, primetime program took American viewers on a sweeping, black & white journey through the People's House, exploring grand ballrooms, ceremonial spaces and intimate living quarters , only stopping along the way to provide historical perspective.

The network selected the urbane CBS News correspondent, Charles Collingwood to host with the elegant First Lady. In a rare moment of corporate cooperation, the program was telecast by CBS, NBC and ABC. The clip is from the CBS You Tube site. Enjoy!!!!!
