Finding the President’s Annual “Turkey Pardon” Remarks

Turkey

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the “turkey pardon,” an event in which the President ceremoniously spares a turkey from consumption.  Although the tradition has been attributed to Presidents ranging from Lincoln to Reagan, the first President to implement the event as an annual tradition was George H.W. BushFDSys provides access to authenticated transcripts of the President’s yearly remarks at the event, dating back to 1993, as part of its Compilation of Presidential Documents collection.  To view President Obama’s remarks from the 2013 event, click here.  A transcript of today’s remarks should be available within the next few weeks.
