Washington, DC. 11-18-1988 Orel Hershiser and wife Susan arrive at the White House for the 55th and final state dinner of the Reagan Administration in honor of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The Reagans and Thatchers toasted and danced an extremely fond farewell in the company of 120 guests who spanned the worlds of arts, entertainment, business, politics and sports. Los Angeles Dodgers pitching ace Orel Hershiser sat at Reagan's and Thatcher's head table of eight, wedged handsomely between Nebraska Gov. Kay Orr and Nancy Kissinger, while California Gov. George Deukmejian dutifully digested his baby lobster in caviar yogurt sauce at one of the 14 other tables. In the late 19th century, the term state dinner became synonymous with a dinner hosted by the president honoring a foreign head of state. The first visiting head of state to attend a state dinner at the White House was King David Kalakaua of the Kingdom of Hawaii, hosted by Ulysses S. Grant on December 12, 1874. In the United States, a state dinner is a formal dinner, more often black tie in recent years rather than white tie, which is held in honor of a foreign head of state, such as a king, queen, president, or any head of government. A state dinner is hosted by the President of the United States and held in the State Dining Room at the White House in Washington D.C. Other formal dinners for important people of other nations, such as a prince or princess, are called official dinners, the difference being that the federal government does not pay for them. State and official dinners are dictated by strict protocol in order to ensure that no diplomatic gaffes occur. The Chief of Protocol of the United States, who is an official within the United States Department of State, the White House Chief Usher, who is head of the household staff at the White House, as well as the White House Social Secretary all oversee the planning of state and official dinners from beginning to end.
