Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba. Organizations which featured prominently in his correspondence were Freedoms Foundation, People to People, the American Assembly, Planned Parenthood, the Critical Issues Council, the Republican National Committee, and the Boy Scouts. Some of the most fascinating correspondence in the 1964 Principal File centers around the 1964 presidential race, including the primaries, convention, and the campaign. This correspondence documents Eisenhower’s differences with Barry Goldwater, his efforts to encourage moderate Republican candidates, his desire for an “open” convention, his response to criticisms of his administration by Goldwater, and Eisenhower’s role in the campaign. The post-election correspondence describes efforts to evaluate the election results and moves to reorganize the Republican Party by replacing Dean Burch with Ray Bliss as head of Republican National Committee. Eisenhower’s fence-sitting prior to the Republican National Convention led to a large volume of letters from people--all good Republicans--who either urged him to come out in favor of a moderate Republican candidate in order to save the party from the Goldwater “extremists” or criticized him for not supporting Barry Goldwater. Despite Eisenhower’s attempt to maintain neutrality during the primary races, the press sought to interpret various moves or statements by Eisenhower as evidence of his support for one candidate or the other. In 1964 Dwight Eisenhower continued to correspond with many prominent individuals on a variety of topics. Political leaders, including Barry Goldwater, Harold Stassen, William Scranton, Henry Cabot Lodge, Herbert Brownell, Leonard Hall, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Senator Thomas Kuchel, were among those who communicated with the ex-president. Representative of the media, journalists, and writers, such as Fred Friendly, Frank Stanton, William Scranton, Henry Cabot Lodge, Herbert Brownell, Leonard Hall, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Senator Thomas Kuchel, were among those who communicated with the ex-president. Representative of the media, journalists, and writers, such as Fred Friendly, Frank Stanton, William Paley, Norman Cousins, Ray Scherer, and Marvin Arrowsmith, also had frequent contacts with Eisenhower. Former members of the Eisenhower Administration who kept in touch included Bryce Harlow, Richard Nixon, Arthur F. Burns, Raymond J. Saulnier, Ezra Taft Benson, Sigurd Larmon, and Abbott Washburn. The 1964 Principal File contains considerable documentation relating to attacks on Dwight Eisenhower by such individuals as Robert Welch, head of the John Birch Society, John A. Stormer, author of None Dare Call It Treason, and Phyllis Schlafly, author of A Choice Not an Echo. Eisenhower’s public response was to ignore what he considered to be unwarranted, spurious attacks by right-wing extremists, but his private correspondence does offer some indication of how he felt about such criticism. Eisenhower’s correspondence on this issue with Ezra Taft Benson is particularly fascinating as Benson endorsed the John Birch Society and tried to explain why in his letters to his former boss. This series also has material on a variety of interesting historical details and minor subjects; Eisenhower’s personal attitude toward such labels as “liberal,” “conservative,” “left,” and “right” are noted, and the files include information on such matters as the source of the Latin phrase which Eisenhower kept on his desk, Mamie Eisenhower’s preference for Chrysler limousines, Eisenhower’s smoking habit, and his role in the 1932 Bonus March. Also covered in this series are the general’s recreational pursuits, his involvement in the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of D-Day, World War II issues and personalities, reviews of Mandate for Change, and comments on his Farewell Address. As with the previous post-presidential principal files this series continues to offer numerous insights into Eisenhower’s personal feelings and beliefs on many issues, and it documents a varied, active life.

The first floor leaders were formally designated in 1920 (Democrats) and 1925 (Republicans). The Senate Republican and Democratic floor leaders are elected by the members of their party in the Senate at the beginning of each Congress. Depending on which party is in power, one serves as majority leader and the other as minority leader. The leaders serve as spokespersons for their parties' positions on issues. The majority leader schedules the daily legislative program and fashions the unanimous consent agreements that govern the time for debate. The majority leader has the right to be called upon first if several senators are seeking recognition by the presiding officer, which enables him to offer motions or amendments before any other senator. Majority and Minority Leaders Elected at the beginning of each Congress by members of their respective party conferences to represent them on the Senate floor, the majority and minority leaders serve as spokesmen for their parties' positions on the issues. The majority leader has also come to speak for the Senate as an institution. Working with the committee chairs and ranking members, the majority leader schedules business on the floor by calling bills from the calendar and keeps members of his party advised about the daily legislative program.
