Flemming executed an instrument of gift for these papers. Linear feet: 128.8 Approximate number of pages: 254,400 Approximate number of items: Unknown Literary rights in the unpublished papers of Arthur S. Flemming have been transferred to the people of the United States. By agreement with the donor the following classes of documents will be withheld from research use: 1. Papers and other historical material the disclosure of which would constitute an invasion of personal privacy or a libel of a living person. 2. Papers and other historical materials that are specifically authorized under criteria established by statute or Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy, and are in fact properly classified pursuant to such statute or Executive Order. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Papers of Arthur S. Flemming were deposited with the Eisenhower Library in two major accessions. The first and largest accession arrived in 1986 and contained materials from Flemming’s early civil service career through the mid-1970s. The second accession arrived in late 1996. It more or less takes up where the first accession leaves off but there are a couple exceptions that must be noted. The second accession contains a few files from the early 1960s, which were probably held back at the time of the first shipment because they were still relevant to Flemming’s activities at the time, namely files related to aging.

  • The Illustrated Four Freedoms: FDR, Rockwell, and the Margins of the Rhetorical Presidency
    The Illustrated Four Freedoms: FDR, Rockwell, and the Margins of the Rhetorical Presidency JAMES J. KIMBLE Seton Hall University This article examines the rhetorical failure and eventual resurrection of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s (FDR’s) Four Freedoms and the implications of this transformation for conceptual- izing the rhetorical presidency. By charting the phrase’s initial flop and the related troubles of the administration’s official Four Freedoms pamphlet, the essay argues that FDR’s ideal was restrained by the government’s reliance on a diegetic approach to propaganda. The appearance of Norman Rockwell’s Four Freedoms series in 1943, in contrast, embraced a mimetic approach. I conclude that Rockwell’s paintings and their attendant publicity blitz dramatized and personalized the president’s Four Freedoms, fostering a surge of identification on the home front and ultimately launching the ideal on its ascendant course into rhetorical history. Mr. Lasswell laid especial emphasis upon the Four Freedoms. ...Heeven suggested means to make them more than rhetorical devices. —Leonard Doob (1942, 8) On October 17, 2012, a moving dedication ceremony took place on the southern tip of New York City’s Roosevelt Island. The occasion featured former President Bill Clinton and a host of other dignitaries—including Mario and Andrew Cuomo, David Dinkins, Michael Bloomberg, and Henry Kissinger—participating in the unveiling of the Franklin D. Roose- velt (FDR) Four Freedoms Park. Speakers and visitors alike marveled at the stunning four- acre site’s inspiring design, the product of famed architect Louis Kahn. Against the magnifi- cent backdrop of the urban skyline, FDR’s legacy must have seemed as timeless as ever.

    THE SPEAKING OF HUBERT H. HUMPHREY IN FAVOR OF THE 1964 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT Norbert H. Mills A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August, 1974 BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY n 586612 .TV Vzù .'XA\ ABSTRACT This study attempted to investigate one aspect of the speaking of Hubert H. Humphrey's advocacy for equal rights for minority groups in this country. The study focused on Humphrey's major pub­ lic addresses and Senate speeches regarding the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Eighteen public speeches and numerous Senate statements dating from September 20, 1963 to June 17, 1964 were analyzed. The study employed an Historical-Descriptive-Critical method of rhetorical analysis. Questions regarding the rhetorical situa­ tion were posited and answers were set forth in succeeding chapters. An attempt was made to determine the types of audiences addressed, the nature of Humphrey's addresses, the major strategies which were employed, and how the Senator argued for the bill. Analysis revealed that Senator Humphrey addressed public audiences, which were classed as religious, political, educational, commencement, and miscellaneous. Humphrey made a conscious effort to adapt his speeches to each particular audience and carefully worked the idea of civil rights into those speeches not expressly dealing with that issue. Major issues which emerged in the public speeches were contained in the various titles of the Civil Rights Bill. Aside from the strategy of choosing only particular.types of audiences to address, the legislative strategies employed were equal in importance to and dictated what many of the rhetorical strategies would be.
