Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1962-63 SIGNATURE FILE SERIES DESCRIPTION The 1962-63 Signature File contains materials roughly comparable to the documents found in the 1962 Principal File. It consists of files which the Gettysburg staff decided were no longer needed for future reference. These materials were shipped to Abilene and organized using the same arrangement scheme as the Principal File. Since these files contained many carbon copies of letters which Eisenhower had signed, the series was titled the “Signature File.” The Eisenhower Library staff combined the 1962-63 material into one series. This series is divided into two parts or subseries. The first is a subject, or topical, subseries, containing such categories as business-economics, education, federal government, finance, foreign affairs, gifts, invitations, legislation, politics, private affairs, public relations, speeches, and trips. These categories reflect the main areas of activity of Eisenhower and his office staff. The subject subseries, comprised of twenty-three boxes, is arranged in alphabetical order by name of subject or category. Gifts and invitations are the subjects containing the greatest volume of materials. The second subseries is the thirty-eight box alphabetical file, which is primarily a correspondence file. It is arranged alphabetically by the names of individuals and organizations. Like previous post-presidential series, this file reveals the busy schedule Eisenhower maintained and the large volume of correspondence which he and his staff carried on. This series has considerable correspondence regarding gifts sent to Eisenhower and invitations declined, plus many requests for photographs, autographs, statements, and appearances. Although the bulk of this series consists of fairly routine correspondence, there are numerous letters which discuss important national and international issues. U.S. trade policy, the Common Market, Medicare, People-to-People, Cuba, Eisenhower’s role in the 1962 political campaign, the Kennedy administration, and foreign policy are some of the topics discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence. Other topics mentioned in this file include fluoridated water, Pennsylvania state politics, World War II, the 1952 campaign, the dedication of the Eisenhower Library, and the National Cultural Center. This series contains correspondence with many former members of the Eisenhower Administration, including Robert Anderson, Ezra Taft Benson, Herbert Brownell, Arthur Burns, Allen Dulles, Arthur Flemming, James Hagerty, J. Edgar Hoover, C.D. Jackson, Fred Seaton, and Bernard Shanley. Other dignitaries, personalities, and political leaders who continued to have correspondence with the ex-president were Frank Carlson, Henry Ford II, Harry Darby, Mark Clark, William Pawley, William Miller, Walter Cronkite, Everett Dirksen, Joyce Hall, Sigurd Larmon, and Charles Percy. The 1962-63 Signature File contains numerous documents which reveal some of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s personal views, policies, and attitudes on a wide variety of topics. Included among these topics are the use of his name, requests for donations, requests for autographs, the exhibiting of his paintings, the use of “ghost written” speeches, honorary memberships, watercolor painting techniques, the endorsing of political candidates, the presidency, Boy Scouts, the role of hard work and luck in his life, and spurious anti-Eisenhower material. Thus, these files offer numerous insights into Eisenhower’s views on personal matters as well as broad issues.

It's January 30, 2008, and I am with my colleague, Paul Musgrave. We're in San Diego, and we both have the privilege and honor to be interviewing Ambassador Bob Ellsworth for the Nixon Oral History Program. Ambassador Ellsworth, thank you for doing this with us. Bob Ellsworth Glad to be here. Timothy Naftali I'd like to start by asking a bit about your World War II experience. You were a kid, but you did serve in the Navy, I believe. Bob Ellsworth Yes. Timothy Naftali In World War II. Tell us where you served. Bob Ellsworth Well, let me tell you a little story from 1993 that takes me back and answers your question. 1993, Bill Clinton was the new President of the United States and Jiang Zemin, the new President of China. So Clinton invited Jiang Zemin over to Washington for a state visit, and he came. And there was a state banquet in his honor at the White House one evening, but that noon, the Asia Society from New York came down and gave a big lunch for Jiang Zemin in one of the hotels in Washington, to which I was invited. And before the lunch was a VIP reception, to which I was invited, and I found myself standing next to Bob McNamara, the former Secretary of Defense. And we were just making conversation.

I know that you produce a tremendous amount of wheat. I know that you are a great cattle-producing State. I know that you make a significant contribution in the production of oil energy which we need so badly. But the thing that impresses me -- and I think it is worth noting the great State of Kansas produces some great statesmen. You can run down the list from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Alf Landon, to former Senator Frank Carlson, to another fine Senator, Harry Darby, and as Bob Dole said, I have been out in this part of Kansas on a number of occasions. I was out in Great Bend a year or so ago. I went to Dodge City and survived. (Laughter) But during the time I served in the Congress of the United States, in the House, I got to know a great, great Congressman, Wynn Smith.

  • Eastland Collection File Series 1: Personal/Political Subseries 18: Congressional Correspondence
    JAMES O. EASTLAND COLLECTION FILE SERIES 1: PERSONAL/POLITICAL SUBSERIES 18: CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENCE The eleven boxes in this subseries contain Eastland’s correspondence with U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives, as well as various non-member congressional offices and agencies. Arranged alphabetically by the last name of the member of Congress, the inventory then provides a chronological, item-level description of each document. Eastland correspondence with congressional office and committee staff appears under the relevant member of Congress. Correspondence with no apparent date is placed at the end of each file. The item-level description includes a brief summary of the topic under discussion. Subjects discussed range from routine birthday greetings; thank you notes for gifts; requests for signed photographs, surplus tickets, or publications; and discussions of committee assignments. Other letters may contain in-depth analysis of politics and legislation with attached memoranda and publications. Also present are drafts of tributes by Eastland honoring various colleagues. Researchers should note that members of Congress often send letters addressed as “My dear Senator,” or “Dear Colleague” to either the entire Congress or to the membership of their respective legislative branch. However, those letters on the inventory designated as specifically addressed to Eastland were not necessarily sent to him alone. Also, note that Eastland occasionally received copies of correspondence between other members of Congress, as well as correspondence between other members of Congress and the executive branch or federal government agencies. Occasionally, correspondence between Eastland and constituents are filed in this subseries if the only topic under discussion is a particular member of Congress.

  • Leroy Tombs Oral History About Bob Dole
    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas. http://dolearchives.ku.edu Interview: Leroy Tombs January 20, 2004 Interviewer: Lahoma Yates Dennis, longtime Dole staff member Transcribed By: Brent Garcia, July 27, 2006 1 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas. http://dolearchives.ku.edu Interviewer: It’s January 20, 2004, this is Lahoma Yates, and I am visiting with Leroy Tombs. Leroy has been a good faithful republican in Kansas for a number of years and a friend of Mr. Dole. Leroy do you remember when you met Mr. Dole? Leroy Tombs: Yes, he was quite young. It was during the Nixon administration and there were a lot of civil rights legislation going on. And, Bob Dole was quite young, but he had a clear understanding of how Nixon wanted to create a different kind of society where everybody was included in it. The republican password at that time was “Be more inclusive”. Bob was a big advocate of that lets open up the party for everybody, let’s let everybody want and come in and be a republican. I liked that attitude of Bob. I had heard about him from Newspaper people that I knew, Marion Vaughn, who owned the Bonner Springs Chiefton. Interviewer: Oh, yes. I remember, Marion. Leroy Tombs: He was flattered by this young white boy who had been shot in the war and came back and decided he would be lawyer, but couldn’t write. Everybody said that’s got to be a tough kid who is going to law school and doesn’t have access to his writing.
