EDWARD L. BEACH AND EVAN P. AURAND RECORDS 1953-1961

Pre Accession and A67-18 Processed by: HLP, LKS Date Completed: 3-29-83 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The records of the Office of the Naval Aide to the President span the years 1953 to 1961 and include the terms of two naval aides, Edward L. Beach (1953-1957) and Evan P. Aurand (1957-1961). About 60 per cent of the material is related to presidential trips and vacations, and this material tends to concentrate on matters of administrative detail and physical arrangement rather than matters of substance.

These records are organized into five series. The first series is divided evenly into two subseries, one on the President's international trips and one on his domestic vacations and travels. The trips are arranged chronologically within each subseries, and the information on each trip is arranged either chronologically or topically. The bulk of this series consists of correspondence, including many classified naval messages and telegrams, briefing books, reports, schedules and itineraries, maps and diagrams, personnel and passenger lists, and printed logs of some trips. While there is only a small quantity of information on matters of policy and substance, detailed information on advance reparation for and the logistics of presidential travel are available in abundance in this series. The naval aide's office apparently served as a clearinghouse for routing requests and coordinating any Administration needs for Navy or Marine personnel or equipment. These needs could vary from a cook for Camp David to a heavy cruiser or aircraft carrier for a presidential cruise.

In the short series on visits by foreign leaders the visits are organized chronologically. The visit which has the most thorough documentation is the Eisenhower-Khrushchev conference at Camp David in September 1959. The emphasis of this series is on logistics and physical arrangements rather than policy or doctrine. It is composed largely of schedules, arrival and departure plans, cabin and office assignments, passenger lists, personnel and staff lists, and travel arrangements. Additional materials include details on the meals, music, and movies which were planned for the foreign guests.

The brief correspondence series is divided into a subseries of messages and information destined for the naval aide's use and another subseries of letters and messages dealing with more presidential matters. Some of the subjects mentioned in this correspondence include the handling of White House mail, the President's speech to the U.N. General Assembly, the Navy League, a presidential cruise on the USS Saratoga, and presidential Christmas messages.

Correspondence, studies and reports, schedules, and clippings make up the bulk of the fourth series, which is arranged alphabetically. This series illustrates better than any other the wide variety of topics on which the President's naval aide carried correspondence. American Armed Forces Museum, presidential helicopters, the St. Lawrence Seaway opening ceremony, ship construction, USS Enterprise, and the USS Nautilus are the subjects which have the greatest volume of material. As in the earlier series, administrative matters and logistics again take precedence over issues of substance.

The last series consists of photographs and related documents, and its arrangement is chronological. Over 2,500 photos, 14 color transparencies, 29 negatives, and a few tapes have been removed from the collection and transferred to the audiovisual department of the Eisenhower Library. A number of maps were transferred to the Eisenhower Library s map collection. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Edward L. Beach
