PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES

The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series.

The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office. Approximately 40 pages in this subseries remained security-classified after review (much of this pertains to Ambassador Lacy and Korea) and about 35 pages remain closed in accordance with the donor’s deed of gift.

The Special Liaison Staff Subseries consists of just under 5,000 pages of correspondence arranged alphabetically by name of individuals. This subseries includes information both on ambassadors or candidates for ambassadorships as well as candidates for other positions such as members of U.S. delegations to the and various commissions and boards. It documents the work of the Special Candidates Staff (or Special Liaison Staff) working within the Office of the Secretary of State in maintaining political liaison with the Republican National Committee, Congress, the and other individuals having political clout. The Special Liaison Staff also developed and maintained lists of Republicans qualified for top level assignments, and supervised recruitment of persons from these lists. The staff also attempted to place politically acceptable and qualified persons within the Department of State where they could be effective and oversaw the mechanics of top level presidential functions. Consideration of African Americans for positions appears in these materials and the work of Val Washington as Director of Minorities within the Republican National Committee can be seen in this file as well as elsewhere within this series.

The third subseries, the Chronological File covers the period from August 1953 to

December 1959 and consists of approximately 11,300 pages of carbons of correspondence and memoranda pertaining to personnel matters ranging from chiefs of mission appointments to candidates for various boards and commissions. It too is a source of information on political patronage, appointment of minorities, lobbying of various political constituencies, and connections between these matters and foreign relations.
