Tennessee State Library and Archives ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE COMMISSION RECORDS GOVERNOR RAY BLANTON ADMINISTRATION [1967] 1975-1987 [1993] RECORD GROUP 226 Processed by: Ted Guillaum Archival Technical Services Date Completed: 8-20-2002 MICROFILM ONLY INTRODUCTION The Alcoholic Beverage Commission Records, Governor Ray Blanton Administration, spans the years of 1967-1993, with the majority of documents between 1975 and 1987. These records measure 23 cubic feet and were maintained by the Alcoholic Beverage Commission until September 12, 2001. At that time they were transferred to TSLA and the records were found in good condition except the folders seemed to be in random order. It was decided to arrange the records into four series with each series in alphabetical order. The original order within each folder was carefully maintained and no documents or notes were discarded. The original documents were disposed of according to state RDA #2261. There are no restriction on the use of these records. This is a microfilm only collection. SCOPE AND CONTENT The Alcoholic Beverage Commission Records, Governor Ray Blanton Administration contains the records of the Alcoholic Beverage Commission (ABC) during the administration of Governor Ray Blanton. The normal disposition of the ABC files according to RDA #2261 is to destroy the records after 10 years. These files were kept by the commission until September 12, 2001 because they were part of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation known as "TENNPAR." TENNPAR focused on allegations of the Blanton administration selling pardons and paroles in the late 1970's. The Executive Director of the ABC requested in 2001 that TSLA assess the historical value of these documents for final disposition. In another investigation the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of the Treasury became involved over the question of the Blanton Administration selling liquor licenses. The most controversial licenses were issued in Davidson County on April 23, 1976, to: 1. Bernard L. Weinstein, 2. Mark Nicholson, 3. James Allen, 4. Jack Ham, 5. Robert O. Frensley, 6. Wendell Pardue, 7. Earl C. Shacklett, 8. Thomas M. Evans, 9. Ross Evans, 10. Donald L. Thompson, 11. George Hudspeth a.k.a. Bill Hudson, and 12. Robert Garner. The current Executive Director of the ABC suggested that these records may have some historical significance as a result of that investigation. Many ABC files from Governor Blanton's term were subpoenaed for a Grand Jury Investigation that resulted in his indictment on October 29, 1980. As a result of the ABC investigation, Governor Blanton was charged with income tax fraud for misrepresenting a payment of $23,334.50 that Jack Ham had paid to retire a debt owed by Governor Blanton to Commerce Union Bank. Three men were ultimately convicted and sentenced to prison. Those men were Governor Ray Blanton, Mr. Jim Allen, and Mr. Edd Hood. Governor Blanton served two years of a three year sentence. He was released in July of 1986 and died November 22, 1996. Readers will find additional information on Governor Blanton and the investigations of his administration in two books; Tennessee's Blanton Years by Bill Rawlins and FBI Codename TENNPAR, Tennessee's Ray Blanton Years by Hank Hillin. The weakness of this collection is the original order may have been lost because these files were used as part of investigations by the Internal Revenue Service, the grand jury, and the FBI. The license application folders were found in no apparent order and some duplication of documents probably exists. It was decided to put the files in alphabetical order for accessibility and to leave the contents of the individual folders in the order they were found. Nothing was discarded since it was not clear to the processing archivist if any notes or files were generated by investigators or the ABC Commission. This record group is divided into four series. All four series have been arranged alphabetically. Series 1 contains the files pertaining to application for liquor licenses. They have been arranged by the last name of the individual making application rather than the store name. In rare instances when an individual's name was not on the application, it was filed according to the corporate name. Series 2 contains a group of files identified as Administrative Records. The records include transcripts of ABC hearings and exhibits or evidence pertaining to an individual liquor license application. Series 3 is believed to be the exhibits relating to a hearing or case identified only by the number 79-1403-III. These exhibits all seem to be related to an issue located in Franklin, Tennessee. Each exhibit was found in individual Manila envelopes and identified on the outside by the number 79-1403-III and a description of the contents. That description was used as the title in the Container List. Series 4, Random Files, contain 13 folders that were located randomly throughout the original boxes. Each file involves a separate issue that did not fit into any other series. CONTAINER LIST MICROFILM ROLL # 1 SERIES 1 LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATIONS BOX 1 1.

The commissions measure seven and ½ cubic feet and are recorded in 56 volumes. These records were maintained by the Secretary of State and were found to be in fair to good condition.

The volumes have been arranged chronologically and have been microfilmed. The original documents have been retained.

  • BLANTON, Ray, Congressional Papers
    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 RAY BLANTON CONGRESSIONAL PAPERS 1967 – 1972 Processed by: Stewart Southard Archival Technical Services Manuscripts Accession Number: 1995-098 Microfilm Accession Number: 1726 Date Completed: 12-3-2003 Location: XI–C–1-6; II–A–1v, Box 1 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION From his election in 1967 until his defeat to Howard Baker in 1972, Leonard Raymond Blanton served as U.S. Representative representing Tennessee’s Seventh Congressional District. As a freshman legislator from a predominantly rural district, Blanton had little influence on national politics, sponsoring few bills of any significance. He served on only two committees; the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee and the District of Columbia Committee, where his attendance records were reportedly poor. Instead, Blanton concentrated his efforts on constituent service, returning often to his district, responding promptly to voter’s concerns, and working to draw federal money to finance projects in Tennessee. This collection of documents mirrors the focus Blanton placed on the needs of his constituency during his six years as U.S. Representative. More than one half of the documents in this collection consist of correspondence, both with constituents, and with state and federal agencies. During Blanton’s tenure as Representative, a number of divisive issues prompted individuals to write their congressman, by themselves or as part of organized letter writing campaigns. For example, both the war in Vietnam, and the court mandated busing of students to desegregate the schools prompted volumes of mail. Part of the constituent correspondence was filed by date, but the bulk of it is filed by subject.

In the 114th Congress, Alexander became chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, allowing him to take a lead role in a bipartisan rewrite of the No Child Left Behind education law that implemented testing requirements for students and performance standards. A fix to the law, which expired in 2007, is ``long overdue,'' Alexander said at his panel's first hearing in January 2015. He also wants to curb student-loan costs. Education is an abiding concern for Alexander, a former federal Education secretary and university president whose parents were an elementary school principal and a kindergarten teacher. Alexander has enough of an independent streak that he generally ranks in the bottom half of Republican senators on vote scorecards from activist groups promoting deep cuts to spending and taxes. One such group, the Club for Growth, gave him a rating of 68 out of 100 for his 2014 votes.

  • Past Governors of Tennessee 489
    PAST GOVERNORS OF TENNESSEE 489 Past Governors Of Tennessee William Blount, 1790-1795, Democrat (territorial governor). Born in North Carolina in 1749, Blount served in the Continental Congress 1783-1784 and 1786-1787. In 1790, President Washington appointed him governor of the newly formed Territory South of the River Ohio, formerly part of North Carolina. While governor, Blount was also Indian affairs superinten- dent and negotiated, among others, the Treaty of the Holston with the Cherokees. His new government faced formidable problems, intensified by conflicts created by European/Indian contact. In 1795, Blount called a constitutional convention to organize the state, and Tennessee entered the Union the next year. Blount represented the new state in the U.S. Senate, and after expulsion from that body on a conspiracy charge, served in the state Senate. He died in 1800. John Sevier, 1796-1801; 1803-1809, Democrat. Born in Virginia in 1745, Sevier as a young man was a suc- cessful merchant. Coming to a new settlement on the Holston River in 1773, he was one of the first white settlers of Tennessee. He was elected governor of the state of Franklin at the end of the Revolutionary War, and as such became the first governor in what would be Tennessee. When statehood was attained in 1796, Sevier was elected its first governor. He served six terms totaling twelve years. While governor he negoti- ated with the Indian tribes to secure additional lands for the new state and opened new roads into the area to encourage settlement. At the close of his sixth term he was elected to the state Senate, and then to Congress.

  • Governor's Executive Orders, 1953-Present
    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 EXECUTIVE ORDERS OF THE GOVERNORS OF TENNESSEE 1953-1996 RECORD GROUP 95 Processed by: Michael D. Trent, David R. Sowell Archival Technical Services Microfilmed up to: June 2, 1996 MICROFILMED SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE Record Group 95 consists of the Executive Orders from the following Tennessee Governors: Frank G. Clement (1953-1955; 1956-1958; 1963-1966), Buford Ellington (1959-1962; 1967-1970), Winfield Dunn (1971-1974), Ray Blanton (1975-1978), Lamar Alexander (1979-1986), Ned Ray McWherter (1987-1995) and Don Sundquist (1995- 2003). Executive Orders allow the Governor of the State to have a more direct role in the policy-making process of State Government. Questions have been raised concerning the Governor’s constitutional power to issue such orders. Article III, Section I of the Tennessee Constitution (1870) states that “the Supreme Executive power of this State shall be vested in a Governor.” The Supreme Court has stated that executive power is the authority to administer and enforce the law. The State Constitution fails to give a specific definition of executive powers. Executive Orders deal primarily with appropriations, creation of state agencies, appointments, etc. Very rarely does the Executive issue and order activating the Tennessee National Guard. A list of each Executive Order and its purpose has been enclosed. CONTAINER LIST ORDER # DESCRIPTION Series Number: 1 Series Title: Frank G. Clement First Term 1953-1955 Box 1 1 Appropriation – Special Breed Shows – Polled Hereford Shoe in Knoxville 2 Appropriation – Tennessee School for the Deaf 3 Appropriation – Expenses incurred by the Governor’s Official Party to President Eisenhower’s Inauguration 4 Appropriation – Purchase of land adjoining James K.
