You are very welcome, Donna!- June 17, 1965. Astronauts Edward White (right) and James McDivitt (left) and their families arrive at the White House. After a ceremony that evening at the State Department, the President makes a surprise announcement that he is sending the...astronauts and their wives to Paris for the Air Show—and that they’ll leave at 4am on the Presidential plane.See More
“After about a half an hour we gathered up Governor Dewey [of New York] and went back to the White House, still without dinner, and here began the funniest part of this crescendo of a day. When the astronauts’ wives came in, I took them back to my office-dressing room and opened up the closet where my evening dresses hang, because what does any woman think about when she hears she’s going to Paris—clothes!”
After a “fashion show” to select the evening gowns they’ll borrow and bring to Paris, Lady Bird also arranges for laundry, noting that their visitors been traveling for several days, and asks the kitchen to prepare dinner for a “starving, bewildered Governor Dewey.”

The furniture was actually used by LBJ and it's 7/8 the size of the Oval Office at the White House. LBJ used to surprise guests by giving an impromptu tour. Today, the Oval office is open, although much of the Library is closed for renovation.
