or children whether or not such issue or any of them are
over or under the age of twenty-one (21) years.
 
     (D) I request my children and if there be any deceased
child or children of mine leaving issue surviving, then
also my Executors, to select only such articles of personal
property as my children and the issue of any deceased child
or children of mine may be in a position to use personally
in their own homes. I further request my said wife,
children, Executors and issue of deceased children, if any,
that upon the occupancy of the main house at Hyde Park,
Dutchess County, New York, by the Government of the United
States, the greater part of the personal property situate
therein or used in connection therewith be given to the
Government so that the general character of the house be
not altered, but this request shall not be construed as a
restriction or limitation on the right of my said wife,
children and Executors to select, as hereinabove in this
Article Seventh provided, such of the personal property as
my said wife, children and/or issue of any deceased child
or children of mine may wish for personal use in their own
homes.
 
     (E) All of the said personal property not so selected
by my said wife, my children and my Executors for the issue
of any deceased child or children of mine, as hereinabove
in
this Article Seventh provided, shall be offered by my
Executors as a gift to the Government of the United States
for display at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library or at the
Roosevelt main house at Hyde Park, Dutchess County, New
York; provided, however, that my Executors shall have the
right, in their sole discretion, to fix the time within
which the Government of the United States shall elect to
accept all or any part of the said personal property. All
of the said personal property not selected by my said wife,
my children and my Executors for the issue of any deceased
child or children of mine, and/or accepted by the
Government of the United States as hereinabove in this
Article Seventh provided, may be sold by my Executors in
whole or in part at public or private sale or sales, at
such time or times and upon such terms and conditions as
they, in their sole discretion, may deem advisable.    
 
     (F) If my said wife shall survive me and shall select
personal property as hereinabove provided in Paragraph (A)
of this Article
