6.5x3.5 First Day Cover honoring the Fifth World Forestry Congress, postmarked August 9, 1960, signed in black ballpoint ink by Kurt Waldheim. In excellent condition. 

(1918-2007) Kurt Waldheim was an Austrian politician and diplomat. Waldheim was the secretary-general of the United Nations from 1972 to 1981 and the president of Austria from 1986 to 1992. While he was running for the latter office in the 1986 election, the revelation of his service in Greece and Yugoslavia during World War II, and of his knowledge of Nazi atrocities as an intelligence officer in Nazi Germany's Wehrmacht, raised international controversy.

Comes with a full Letter of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Authentics.
