  • 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.

Among them : deep re- sentment in California's Republican Party since Ronald Reagan entered office ; unprecedented national publicity favoring a conservative candidate ; a "Cloud 9" Republican posture going into a presidential year-the most serious of all national events short of war . Republicans are not merely overlooking significant things about Ronald Reagan ; this year, they are inclined to reject even the normal run of inquiry . And finally, the United States has no record of Ronald Reagan's perform- ance in office and the demand has been growing since Novem- ber of 1966 .

  • George a Smathers the Senate in Committee
    George A. Smathers United States Senator from Florida, 1951-1969 Interview #5: The Senate in Committee (Tuesday, September 12, 1989) Interviewed by Donald A. Ritchie Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, ca. 1954. From left to right: Senators Frank Barrett, Thomas Kuchel, Henry Dworshak, Arthur Watkins, George Malone, Guy Cordon, Eugene Millikin, Hugh Butler, James Murray, Clinton Anderson, Russell Long, George Smathers, Earle Clements, Henry Jackson, and Price Daniel. Senate Historical Office Ritchie: Today I thought we could talk about some of the committees you served on in the Senate, and I wanted to start by asking: as a senator, how much time do you spend in committees? Smathers: I think the committee is really the most important assignment that a senator has, and it doesn't take a senator long to realize that it's the committee that he serves on that gives him stature and importance. And I think that most senators have in their mind that they would like to have at least one committee that has a lot to do with their state. That's why you see so often fellows who come from states where there are big military establishments, they love to be on the Armed Services Committee, so that they can be certain that the navy base or the air base or whatever it is that is in their state, or in their district if they are a congressman, that it stays there, it's not removed. So that's a factor which is important. I think there are other factors, for instance the late Claude Pepper, he wanted a district when he ran in 1962 and got elected to the Congress, he came from a district which was made up almost exclusively of elderly, retired people.

INTRODUCTION The present volume of the Earl Warren Series contains the recollections of Marguerite Gallagher, Verne Scoggins, and Beach Vasey, and is largely concerned wlth the external relations of the governor's office of the State of California, 1943-53 Ever since Plato's Republic, writers have scrutinized the built-in paradoxes that reside in the functions of a head of state, Just as the dichotomies have continued to impede the management processes of even the most capable public executives, questions about the phenomena still fascinate the inquiring minds of scholars, For instance, how does the chief executive of a large, complex state set up his office to provide efficient handling of masses of mail, of legislative programs and thousands of bills, and of press relations, without eroding his vote-getting aura of personal concern for each individual and each problem? Nor is that the only contradiction inherent in a governor's office.
