Dwight D. Eisenhower’s administration contains a variety of communications, documents, background materials, and minutes of meetings and conferences that provide insight into the inner workings of the Eisenhower White House and its approach to the important issues of Eisenhower’s presidency. The collection consists of forty-three reels, organized alphabetically by topic. The documents cover the entire Eisenhower presidency, which lasted from 1953 to 1961, along with some attachments from the previous administrations of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman that likely served as background material for Eisenhower and his policy makers. Most of the material in the reels was produced in Washington, D.C., but covers topics and events occurring worldwide.

  • Atoms for Peace: Eisenhower and Nuclear Technology
    NATIONAL EISENHOWER MEMORIAL EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS LESSON Atoms for Peace: Eisenhower and Nuclear Technology Duration One 45-minute period Grades 7–12 Cross-curriculum Application U.S. History, World History, Media Arts NATIONAL EISENHOWER MEMORIAL LESSON: ATOMS FOR PEACE | 1 EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS Historical Background The advancement of nuclear technology and the subsequent devastation to Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945 from atomic bombs dropped on them during the final stages of World War II introduced a completely new means of waging war to the world. The fears that Americans associ- ated with nuclear weapons only increased as first the Soviet Union and then communist China developed their own atomic bombs. The issue of nuclear power was not just a problem for America but a global challenge, compli- cated largely by the lack of scientific data regarding military effect and environmental impact. It was within this context that Eisenhower took the unprecedented step of promoting the use of atoms for peace rather than for war. To convince Americans that nuclear power had positive benefits for the country, the federal government under Eisenhower launched a program called “Atoms for Peace.” The program took its name from a stunning speech delivered by Eisenhower to the United Nations General Assembly in 1953. Eisenhower believed that “the only way to win World War III is to prevent it.” He recommended the creation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to help diffuse political tensions and solve the “fearful atomic dilemma” by both monitoring atomic weapons and support- ing research into peaceful uses for atomic energy such as medicine and agriculture.

  • The Ideal America(N): Dwight Eisenhower's Elusive Search
    The Ideal America(n): Dwight Eisenhower’s Elusive Search by Lisa Couacaud BA (Hons.) Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deakin University March 2018 Acknowledgements It is merely to state the facts as they are when I write that without the financial support of the Australian Postgraduate Award scholarship these acknowledgements would have gone unwritten, for this thesis would simply not exist. I remain indebted to Deakin University for seeing the value in this work of American history. I am grateful also for the research and conference grants Deakin makes available to their postgraduate students. The funds provided enabled me to travel to Abilene, Kansas, and conduct invaluable archival research in the Eisenhower Presidential Library. I admit to feeling like a “proper” historian only after I had sifted through scores of original documents from Eisenhower’s presidential years. I was fortunate also to visit the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, and the Columbia University Oral History Archives in New York. Today, a little more than three years after embarking upon this project, my commitment to this thesis and my belief that this work is worthy of the investment Deakin has made, persists. This has been an exciting, terrifying, challenging, anxiety-ridden and nerve-wracking process. Yet, had I the opportunity to reset the clock, I would make always the same decision. It has been nothing short of a luxury to be able to devote myself to the task of unravelling Dwight Eisenhower’s idealist imaginings of the United States for these past three years.

  • FINDING and USING PRESIDENTIAL DISCRETION Organization Should Make Freedom of Choice Possible
    A non-partisan consortium of public and private universities and other research organizations, the White House Transition Project focuses on smoothing the transition of power in the American Presidency. Its “Reports” series applies scholarship to specific problems identified by those who have borne the responsibilities for governing. Its “Briefing” series uses extensive interviews with practitioners from the past seven White Houses to produce institutional memories for most of the primary offices in the West Wing operation of the presidency. Find the two publication series of the White House Transition Project, WHTP Reports and Institutional Memory Series Briefing Books on its website: WhiteHouseTransitionProject.org. © The White House Transition Project, 2007 2009-04 PRESIDENTIAL WORK DURING THE FIRST HUNDRED DAYS Terry Sullivan Executive Director, The White House Transition Project Political Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Director, Presidential Transition Program, James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy Abstract: This report covers the presidential work schedules of Presidents Dwight Eisenhower through George H. W. Bush during their first 100 days in office. It reports on patterns of work carrying out presidential responsibilities and reviews a number of strategies for expanding the president’s discretion and using that discretion to affect policy. The report concludes that adopting an hierarchical White House organizational structure, one commanded by a White House Chief of Staff, improves the president’s workday, finds more opportunities for discretion, and broadens the cadre of the president’s “inner circle.” It identifies a number of opportunities for increased presidential discretion beyond controlling the numbers of ceremonial events on the president’s schedule.
