This is June 27, 2007. I'm here with Dr. Ed Harper, for the Richard Nixon Presidential Oral History Program. Dr. Harper, I'm delighted that you are joining us today for this interview. Ed Harper Thank you, glad to be here. Timothy Naftali Let's just start at the beginning. How did you come to join the Nixon administration? Ed Harper Well, I was working for Arthur Doolittle[phonetic sp], a consulting firm here in Washington, doing public policy analysis in different areas, and an old friend of mine from high school days, Bud Krogh, asked me if I'd come over and have lunch with him and John Ehrlichman, and I did. And John said, "Well, when can you join us on the domestic policy staff?" And I said, "How about Friday?" So that's how I came to be on the staff. Timothy Naftali At -- Male Speaker One second. Timothy Naftali Put to what it was before, so -- this matters, please. Ed Harper Sure. Timothy Naftali Tell us some stories. Ed Harper Well, why I was there goes back a little before that meeting.

Weinberger, not a defense technocrat, managed a massive defense buildup of 1.5 trillion dollars over a four year period. A biographical approach to Weinberger illuminates Reagan’s selection, for in many ways Weinberger harkens back to an earlier type of defense manager more akin to Elihu Root than Robert McNamara; more a man of letters than technocrat.

  • The National Data Center Proposal of 1965 and Its Descendants
    Statistical Déjà Vu: The National Data Center Proposal of 1965 and Its Descendants by Rebecca S. Kraus, Ph.D. History Staff U.S. Census Bureau For presentation at the Joint Statistical Meetings Miami Beach, FL, August 1, 2011 This paper is to inform interested parties of ongoing research and to encourage discussion. Any views expressed on historical issues are those of the author and not necessarily those of the U.S. Census Bureau. Abstract Issues concerning sharing of statistical information, linking data sets, and storing and preserving data collected by the federal statistical agencies have long sparked debate. This paper focuses on the National Data Center proposal of 1965, ensuing public concern over its privacy implications, and the response of the Bureau of the Budget and the U.S. Census Bureau. The purpose of this study is to identify the issues leading to the development of the proposal, as well as the consequences of the proposal, in order to inform current policy decisions, particularly in regard to the U.S. Census Bureau. Examples of subsequent efforts at statistical consolidation and data sharing highlight the persistent theme of statistical déjà vu. The author would like to thank the following staff of the U.S. Census Bureau for their review and comment on the contents of this paper: Francis Grailand Hall, Division Chief, Administrative and Customer Services Division (ACSD); Claudette Bennett, Assistant Division Chief, Product Development and Publications Services, ACSD; Bill Maury, Chief, History Staff, ACSD; Nick Birnbaum, History Staff, ACSD; Nancy Gordon, Associate Director for Strategic Planning and Innovation; Mary Frazier, Privacy Office; and Kathleen Styles, formerly of the Policy Office.

  • FINDING and USING PRESIDENTIAL DISCRETION Organization Should Make Freedom of Choice Possible
    A non-partisan consortium of public and private universities and other research organizations, the White House Transition Project focuses on smoothing the transition of power in the American Presidency. Its “Reports” series applies scholarship to specific problems identified by those who have borne the responsibilities for governing. Its “Briefing” series uses extensive interviews with practitioners from the past seven White Houses to produce institutional memories for most of the primary offices in the West Wing operation of the presidency. Find the two publication series of the White House Transition Project, WHTP Reports and Institutional Memory Series Briefing Books on its website: WhiteHouseTransitionProject.org. © The White House Transition Project, 2007 2009-04 PRESIDENTIAL WORK DURING THE FIRST HUNDRED DAYS Terry Sullivan Executive Director, The White House Transition Project Political Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Director, Presidential Transition Program, James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy Abstract: This report covers the presidential work schedules of Presidents Dwight Eisenhower through George H. W. Bush during their first 100 days in office. It reports on patterns of work carrying out presidential responsibilities and reviews a number of strategies for expanding the president’s discretion and using that discretion to affect policy. The report concludes that adopting an hierarchical White House organizational structure, one commanded by a White House Chief of Staff, improves the president’s workday, finds more opportunities for discretion, and broadens the cadre of the president’s “inner circle.” It identifies a number of opportunities for increased presidential discretion beyond controlling the numbers of ceremonial events on the president’s schedule.

  • Donald-Rumsfeld.Pdf
    Gerald R. Ford Oral History Project Donald Rumsfeld Interviewed by Richard Norton Smith March 31, 2009 Smith: First of all, thanks so much for doing this. You have a unique position in the Ford story because you’re one of a dwindling band who can talk with authority about Ford’s years in Congress, and indeed, were instrumental in his becoming Minority Leader. You came in in ’62... Rumsfeld: Right. I worked in the House of Representatives from 1957 to 1960. One of the Congressmen I worked for was Bob Griffin of Michigan. So there was an earlier connection. Smith: So you had contact with Ford earlier. Rumsfeld: Slightly. Gerald Ford was way up there and I was staff assistant to a couple of Republican Congressmen. I did, however, have an interesting connection though to Congressman Ford; one of the pilots with me in the Navy, Jim Dean, who was shot down by the Chinese, was from Grand Rapids. His wife went to Representative Ford when I was working on the Hill and came to see me. So I had an awareness of Gerald Ford back then. Some years later, 1974, Henry Kissinger and I were going into the Peoples’ Republic of China after we left Vladivostok, where President Ford had met with General Secretary Brezhnev. I was going through some papers and there was my friend Jim Dean’s name. Kissinger had been asked by the government to raise the question as to whether Dean’s body was found or whether he was in prison and if so, if they would release him.

  • Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1963 PRINCIPAL FILE SERIES DESCRIPTION The 1963 Principal File served as the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg office. It is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, messages, politics, publications, statements, and trips. This subseries is comprised of a little over thirty-one boxes, and it is arranged in alphabetical order by name of subject category. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, gifts, and messages. The alphabetical subseries consists of nearly thirty-nine boxes of materials arranged in alphabetical order by names of individuals and organizations. Though primarily a correspondence file, it also contains other types of documents, including speeches, published materials, lists, statements, minutes of meetings, and transcripts of interviews. This series reveals that the volume of Eisenhower’s correspondence continued to grow. It placed an increasing burden on his staff, who answered most inquiries, and on friends such as Bryce Harlow, who often drafted letters for Eisenhower on politically sensitive subjects, and on Dwight Eisenhower himself, who continued to edit correspondence with friends and acquaintances. The increased strain on Eisenhower and his staff is revealed in the many letters which turned down requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages from the former president. The bulk of this series consists of routine correspondence and related materials. However, there are numerous letters and memoranda which discuss national and international events, issues, and personalities. The space program, taxes, the New Frontier, People to People, the Test Ban Treaty, the assassination of President Kennedy, NATO, the U.S.

  • Oral History Interview with HR Haldeman Co~Ducted by Raymond H
    Oral history interview with H. R. Haldeman co~ducted by Raymond H. Geselbracht in Mr. Haldeman's home in Santa Barbara, California on April 13, 1988 RHG: All right, Mr. Haldeman, we're going to discuss the theme from your Journal that I've called Nixon's attempt to create a responsive bureaucracy. I've been trying to think in my mind, last night and this morning, how to organize this, and I can't quite manage an organization that I'm satisfied with. The concept is consistent, I think, throughout the things [that] we'll be talking about the next while. My thought is that there are two things involved in creating a responsive bureaucracy. The first is the structure of the government. The second is the people put in positions of responsibility in the government. I've decided, since structure is almost always simpler than people, that I would try looking at that first. See how that works. During the transition, Roy Ash got a telephone call from either the President, or yourself, I'm not sure whom. HRH: I'm not sure which, either. RHG: He was asked to come, be part of the administration, and do something regarding management. Now, for personal reasons, he wasn't able to come at that time. He did agree to come on a part-time, occasional basis, and head up the Ash Commission. As far as he was aware, there was no preparation for this. He didn't really know Nixon, very much, prior to receiving that telephone call.
