What is not widely known is how close the United States came to falling in line with the rest of the world. -
Roberts Papers, 1973-77
John W. “Bill” Roberts Papers, 1973-77 Oral Diary, July 24-September 12, 1974 In 1991, Bill Roberts donated to the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library 14 linear feet of papers covering his work as an assistant press secretary to Gerald R. Ford during both the vice presidency and presidency. The collection includes Roberts's personal observations and recollections, which he tape- recorded every few days during July, August, and September 1974. These recollections, on four audio cassettes, provide insight into the last days of the Ford vice presidency, the transition to the presidency, and the persons and personalities involved in the events. The diary begins and ends abruptly, and it is sporadic. It covers only this brief period in time and is not part of a more complete diary. The Ford Library created the transcript that appears on succeeding pages of this document. Roberts, 7/24/74-9/12/74 - 1 July 24, 1974 Wednesday I'm starting this recording on July 24th. On the morning of July 24th, the Supreme Court, 8-0, ordered the President to surrender the tapes. The Vice President heard about this shortly after the Court decision was made public and decided that he wouldn't say anything as far as the press was concerned until or unless the President made some sort of response. We had quite a problem in fending off the press inquiries which were coming in at a great rate. The complicating factor was that CBS that day had chosen and been given the chance to follow the Vice President wherever he went, photograph him, and do a day in the life of the Vice President. -

In the Shadow of the Presidency: Presidential Management and the Influence of Cabinet Secretaries
In the Shadow of the Presidency: Presidential Management and the Influence of Cabinet Secretaries by John C. Koehler A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2016 Approved by Gerard S. Gryski, Chair, Curtis O. Liles Professor Emeritus of Political Science Cynthia Bowling, Professor of Political Science Linda Dennard, Professor of Political Science William Franko, Assistant Professor of Political Science Abstract Scholars today recognize weaknesses in the president’s ability to pass significant legislation. I ask how presidents can increase their overall influence. They must look internally at their management style and the organization of the Executive Branch. They must also improve their relationship with other political actors, namely Congress and interest groups. Several studies have looked at presidential organization focusing on White House staff and other parts of the Executive Office of the President, such as the Office of Management and Budgeting. I suggest that cabinet secretaries are an overlooked presidential resource. How helpful a resource are cabinet secretaries and how can they be utilized? It depends upon a president’s management style – their level of involvement and the level of clarity with which they give direction. This study provides a typology of four different managerial approaches of modern presidents and analyzes four cases to highlight the importance of cooperation and coordination with Executive Department heads in policy-making. I conclude that secretaries can help the president influence Congress and interest groups. The working relationship that the president has with their cabinet members affects how an administration makes decisions, which proposals it supports, as well as the legislative success of those proposals. -
JAMES A. BAKER, III the Case for Pragmatic Idealism Is Based on an Optimis- Tic View of Man, Tempered by Our Knowledge of Human Imperfection
Extract from Raising the Bar: The Crucial Role of the Lawyer in Society, by Talmage Boston. © State Bar of Texas 2012. Available to order at texasbarbooks.net. TWO MOST IMPORTANT LAWYERS OF THE LAST FIFTY YEARS 67 concluded his Watergate memoirs, The Right and the Power, with these words that summarize his ultimate triumph in “raising the bar”: From Watergate we learned what generations before us have known: our Constitution works. And during the Watergate years it was interpreted again so as to reaffirm that no one—absolutely no one—is above the law.29 JAMES A. BAKER, III The case for pragmatic idealism is based on an optimis- tic view of man, tempered by our knowledge of human imperfection. It promises no easy answers or quick fixes. But I am convinced that it offers our surest guide and best hope for navigating our great country safely through this precarious period of opportunity and risk in world affairs.30 In their historic careers, Leon Jaworski and James A. Baker, III, ended up in the same place—the highest level of achievement in their respective fields as lawyers—though they didn’t start from the same place. Leonidas Jaworski entered the world in 1905 as the son of Joseph Jaworski, a German-speaking Polish immigrant, who went through Ellis Island two years before Leon’s birth and made a modest living as an evangelical pastor leading small churches in Central Texas towns. James A. Baker, III, entered the world in 1930 as the son, grand- son, and great-grandson of distinguished lawyers all named James A. -

Peter Roussel, Martha Joynt Kumar and Terry Sullivan, Houston, TX., November 3, 1999
White House Interview Program DATE: November 3, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: PETE ROUSSEL INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar with Terry Sullivan [Disc 1 of 2] PR: —even though I was with [George] Bush for six years, in four different jobs. I was two years in the [Gerald] Ford White House, and 1981 to 1987 in the [Ronald] Reagan White House. I might add though, for your benefit, in neither case did I come in at the start. I came in under unusual circumstances in both cases. Maybe that’s something to look at, too, for people, because that’s always going to happen. TS: The notion of start is what we’re focused on, how the administration starts, but start has several definitions. Obviously, for a person who comes into the office it’s their start, whether it’s at the very beginning of the administration or later on in the administration. PR: Sure. TS: So those sorts of experiences are worthwhile as far as we’re concerned, as well. Some of the things we’re mostly interested in are: how the office works?, and things like⎯how do you know when it’s time to leave? What your daily life is like? And things like that. PR: That one I’m more than happy to address, having had the benefit of doing it twice. The second time, I was much more prepared to answer that question than the first time, which most people don’t get a second— TS: ⎯chance at. PR: Yes. Didn’t y’all interview my colleague, Larry Speakes? MK: Speakes and [Ron] Nessen as well. -

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. -
