Historical Note The series Viewpoint with Ronald Reagan and Ronald Reagan Radio Commentary were produced by O'Connor Creative Services and concern political conditions in the United States and abroad. The titles Viewpoint with Ronald Reagan and Ronald Reagan Radio Commentary were used at different times to describe the series: Viewpoint for the programs produced in 1975 and 1976 and Ronald Reagan Radio Commentary for the programs produced in 1977 and 1978. Programming was halted during the times Reagan was a declared candidate for the presidency: the first occurrence being November 1975, resuming September 1, 1976 after he lost the nomination; the second being November 1979, when he declared for the 1980 presidential election. Programming ceased altogether following the 1980 election. Reagan recorded his radio commentaries in batches of fifteen programs (five a week). During the period of January 8, 1975, to December 12, 1978, these recordings were pressed on vinyl LPs. Each LP contained three weeks of programming. At least once during this period Reagan recorded twenty programs at a studio session instead of fifteen, leaving fifteen to be distributed while he was on a foreign trip. Commentaries were committed to magnetic tape following the December 12, 1978, program. In 1977, O'Connor Creative Services began planning Ronald Reagan: The Great Moments, the first attempt to issue select commentaries commercially. Tracks were sequenced and artwork selected, however the project was aborted in 1978. Later in 1978, a comparable LP, Ronald Reagan On the Air: A Collection of His Most Memorable Broadcasts (O'Connor Creative Services, 1978), was successfully created and issued. In 2001, a five-CD collection titled Reagan in his Own Voice (Simon & Schuster Audio, 2001) was issued and includes many more commentaries as well as recorded thoughts by Nancy Reagan, Harry O'Connor, Peter Hannaford, Martin Anderson, Annelise Anderson, Edwin Meese III, and others. A selection of twenty recordings was also included on CD in Reagan's Path to Victory (The Free Press, 2004), eight of which overlapped with the Simon & Schulster Audio). Transcripts of these recordings were published in the books Reagan in His Own Hand (The Free Press, 2001) and Reagan's Path to Victory (The Free Press, 2004). Scope and Content of Collection This collection contains sound recordings, transcripts, correspondence, and other documents related to the radio broadcast series Viewpoint with Ronald Reagan and Ronald Reagan Radio Commentary as well as the LP record albums Ronald Reagan: The Great Moments (aborted) and Ronald Reagan: On the Air. O'Connor Creative Services produced both the radio series and the LPs. A variety of domestic and international topics are covered, including the economy, oil, guns, religion, Register of the Ronald Reagan 2000C19 2 Radio Commentary sound recordings taxes, energy, and welfare. Era-specific subjects such as conflict in Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia) and the Torrijos-Carter Treaties that returned control of the Panama Canal to Panama receive considerable attention. Audio recordings of these commentaries are included on the records or tapes in this collection. For preservation purposes, the original recordings have been reformatted and are available as digital use copies in the Hoover Archives reading room. Selected recordings from this series were issued commercially on the compilation LP Ronald Reagan On the Air: A Collection of His Most Memorable Broadcasts (O'Connor Creative Services, 1978) and the CD collection Reagan in His Own Voice (Simon & Schuster, 2001). Transcripts of the recordings issued on Reagan in His Own Voice were published in the book Reagan in His Own Hand (Simon & Schuster, 2001), and are included in Box 2 of this collection.

  • Farewell, Mr. President Commemorating the 20Th Anniversary of the State Services for President Richard Nixon
    Farewell, Mr. President Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the State Services for President Richard Nixon Nixon Library Announces Special Exhibit Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the State Services for President Richard Nixon YORBA LINDA, CALIFORNIA - The Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum will commemorate President Nixon’s 1994 State Services with a new display of artifacts and dramatic photographs that tell the story of the events that lead to the passing of the 37th President and the formal memorial that followed in his honor at his Library in Yorba Linda. The services brought U.S. Presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton and their First Ladies to Yorba Linda, as well as hundreds of foreign and U.S. congressional leaders, thousands of admirers and millions of television viewers who watched from around the globe. “May the day of judging President Nixon on anything less than his entire life and career come to a close,” President Clinton said in a moving eulogy. Senator Bob Dole declared “the second half of the 20th century will be known as the age of Nixon.” Dr. Henry Kissinger commended the President as a statesman. “In the conduct of foreign policy, Richard Nixon was one of the seminal presidents.” Following the President’s passing on April 22, 1994, the Nixon Library immediately became the place for the public to pay tribute and remember his nearly 50 years of public service. More than 50,000 mourners waited in line for many hours to see the flag-draped casket that laid in repose in the museum, surrounded by a Marine Corps Joint Services Honor Guard.

Introduction and Afterword by Lewis L. Gould. Published for the National Archives Trust Fund Board. PUB TYPE Collected Works General (020) -- Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC08 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M. Wolf skill); "Not One to Stay at Home: The Papers of Lou Henry Hoover" (Dale C.

  • Dwight D. Eisenhower from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Dwight D. Eisenhower From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower (/ˈaɪzәnˌhaʊ.әr/ EYE­zәn­HOW­әr; October 14, 1890 – March 28, 1969) was an American politician and Army general who served as the 34th General of the Army President of the United States from 1953 until 1961. He was a five­star general in the Dwight D. Eisenhower United States Army during World War II and served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe. He was responsible for planning and supervising the invasion of North Africa in Operation Torch in 1942–43 and the successful invasion of France and Germany in 1944–45 from the Western Front. Eisenhower was born in Denison, Texas, and raised in Kansas in a large family of mostly Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry by parents with a strong religious background. His mother was born a Lutheran, married as a River Brethren and later converted to Jehovah's Witnesses. Eisenhower did not belong to any denomination until he was President.[5] He graduated from West Point in 1915 and later married Mamie Doud, with whom he had two sons. During World War I, he was denied a request to serve in Europe, instead commanding a unit training tank crews. Following the war, he served under several notable generals, and was promoted to the rank of brigadier general in 34th President of the United States 1941. After the U.S. entered World War II, Eisenhower oversaw the successful In office invasions of North Africa and Sicily before supervising the invasions of France and January 20, 1953 – January 20, 1961 Germany.
