Accession No. 3048, 3048-2 GUIDE Biographical Alfred Rochester, born in 1895, is a member of a pioneer Seattle family, former public relations consultant and long time activist in the state Democratic Party. In September 1938 Rochester became State Director of the National Emergency Council. The Council, part of the Executive Office of the President, was created November 17, 1933 "to coordinate and make more efficient and productive the work of numerous field agencies of the Government." It had the power to call conferences of local federal administrators and directors in order to insure proper enforcement and implementation of federal statutes and programs. The council was the liason between the Federal Government and cities, counties and state government and also the agency through which the Federal Government introduced sample or enabling legislation in the state. Rochester was responsible for explaining and promoting such legislation. The NF.C was also responsible for making available general information about all phases of government activity.
