Reproduced in Biography Resource Center. Farmington Hills, Mich.: Gale, 2010. http://galenet.galegroup.com/servlet/BioRC Scope and Content of Collection The papers primarily consist of Nofziger's writings as reporter, political consultant, writer and satirical poet; collected materials relating to political conditions in California and the United States; and documents generated from work with Republican candidates including Richard M. Nixon and Ronald Reagan. Also included are materials regarding United States v. Nofziger pertaining to his alleged violation of the Ethics in Government Act. One of the most significant aspects of Nofziger's career was his work as a political consultant for candidates at federal and state levels. While he worked for several Republican candidates, two of the most prominent were Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. In the Richard Nixon administration records are correspondence and associated documents involving Nixon and key members of his staff such as H. R. Haldeman and Charles Colson, as well as the California Committee for the Re-election of the President, which played a significant role in Nixon's re-election campaign in 1972. Nofziger shared a strong affiliation with Ronald Reagan. The Ronald Reagan related materials reflect that affiliation through letters, memoranda and collected printed items. The bulk of the materials are Reagan's speeches and writings, Nofziger's writings specifically related to Ronald Reagan, writings by others regarding Reagan and newspaper clippings and other print media from Reagan's gubernatorial and presidential terms. Photographs also include a collection of autographed images presented to Nofziger by high ranking officials in the first Reagan presidential administration. Nofziger was also a political consultant for candidates such as Ed Reinecke, Bob Dole, and Pat Buchanan. The Political consulting records documents this work. Campaign paraphernalia from candidates Nofziger supported is present in Memorabilia. Speeches and writings offer an insight into the evolution of thought and philosophy for the American conservative movement and the Republican Party from Nofziger's candid and uncensored point of view. The writings consist of newspaper articles, speeches, personal reflections, and commentaries in drafts and printed copies. Nofziger was prosecuted on charges of violating the Ethics in Government Act for illegally lobbying for the Wedtech Corporation for federal defense contracts shortly after resigning from Reagan's first presidential administration. Many of the documents relevant to the indictment, trial, appeal, and subsequent dismissal of the charges are included in the Legal proceedings and related documents.

See all on Reagan, Ronald. I now begin the journey that will be lead me into the sunset of my life. Dec 28, Hugh Heinsohn rated it it was amazing. A complex package of investment incentives was approved in only to be gradually reduced in each subsequent year through He details the crucial summits that Reagan had with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and rightly gives Reagan credit for helping to move the U. Washington, D. As I stated earlier, Reagan started his presidency with a strong team within his executive office that balanced out what was a weak cabinet. The changes to the federal tax code were much more substantial. Verdict: Do NOT read this book. Further, he confused reality with the movies. The Reagan administration is by far the most corrupt presidency since Richard Nixon and one of the most corrupt in the postwar era. The following step was its ratification by three-quarters of the states, which many conservative groups were trying to prevent—an effort enthusiastically supported by Reagan in View 1 comment. This leads us to another under-appreciated fact about the Reagan administration: as many as 40 Reagan appointees were indicted, including the leaders of the Interior Department, the EPA, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, two National Security Advisors, and longtime loyalists like Michael Deaver and Lyn Nofziger. In the thirty-ninth in a series on American presidents, participants discussed the life and career of Ronald Reagan.

Pfeffer December 2012 © 2012 Stephen T. Pfeffer. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Hostile Takeover: The New Right Insurgent Movement, Ronald Reagan, and the Republican Party, 1977-1984 by STEPHEN T. PFEFFER has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT PFEFFER, STEPHEN T., Ph.D., December 2012, History Hostile Takeover: The New Right Insurgent Movement, Ronald Reagan, and the Republican Party, 1977-1984 Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach, Jr. The debates involved in the post-World War II period concerning the growth of the conservative movement center on factors such as race, a shift in public thinking to the right, a divided Democratic party, demographics, and cultural issues as a way to explain the success of conservatism in the latter half of the twentieth century. Some historians credit grassroots movements for their impact on conservatism, while others believe that influential intellectuals and conservative leaders changed the perception of the Republican brand. This dissertation examines the contentious relationship between the New Right and the Ronald Reagan’s first presidential administration. Led by Richard Viguerie, Paul Weyrich, Terry Dolan, and Howard Phillips, the New Right arose during the 1970s as an insurgent movement within the Republican Party that had become disillusioned with party elites and its moderate positions.
