  • Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1961 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Post-Presidential Papers reveal the wide range of contacts and the busy schedule which he maintained during the 1960s. A large volume of mail kept his small secretarial staff busy, and he was in great demand as a public speaker. Correspondence in the Post-Presidential Papers offers some interesting insights into Eisenhower’s thinking on numerous issues. No longer burdened by the responsibilities of public office, he felt freer, perhaps, to express himself on various topics. Among the issues discussed in documents found within the 1961 Principal File are the space program, the Berlin situation, Republican party politics, the U.S. economy and monetary policy, and the 1960 elections. Additional topics discussed include Cuba and the Bay of Pigs disaster, foreign aid, taxes, the alleged missile gap, the 1952 campaign, the U.S.I.A.’s mission, the Electoral College, Laos, Latin America, and public housing. Eisenhower’s correspondence in the 1961 Principal File reflects a virtual Who’s Who of both foreign leaders and prominent Americans. Konrad Adenauer of Germany, John Diefenbaker of Canada, Anthony Eden, Harold Macmillan, and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain, Prime Minister Menzies of Australia, President Mateos of Mexico, and King Saud of Saudi Arabia are among the foreign leaders who stayed in touch with the ex-president. Many prominent Americans maintained contact with the former president as well. He corresponded with numerous former members of his administration, including Dillon Anderson, Ezra Taft Benson, Arthur F. Burns, Andrew Goodpaster, James Hagerty, Bryce Harlow, Gabriel Hauge, C.D.

Book Review Essay The Making of the Attorney General: John Mitchell and the Crimes of Watergate Reconsidered Gerald Caplan* I. INTRODUCTION Shortly after I resigned my position as General Counsel of the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department in 1971, I was startled to receive a two-page letter from Attorney General John Mitchell. I was not a Department of Justice employee, and Mitchell's acquaintance with me was largely second-hand. The contents were surprising. Mitchell generously lauded my rather modest role "in developing an effective and professional law enforcement program for the District of Columbia." Beyond this, he added, "Your thoughtful suggestions have been of considerable help to me and my colleagues at the Department of Justice." The salutation was, "Dear Jerry," and the signature, "John." I was elated. I framed the letter and hung it in my office.

  • Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba.

Your reputation for fine civic work extends across the nation. I appreciate the chance also to tell you about the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, of which I am one of the Commissioners appointed by President Eisenhower. In thinking about IJtY' visit with you, I inquired at our office in Washington as, to whether arv Commissioner in the twenty years of the Securities and Exchange Commission's existence had addressed you before. I found, somewhat to my surprise, that the only former memberof the Securities and Exchange Commissionto have spoken before the Common- wealth Club here in san Francisco was William o. Douglas, and he addressed you in 1941 ... someyears after assuming his office as Asso- ciate Justice of the United states SUpremeCourt. This led me to think that our Commissionin 1rlashington, which regulates the securities industry and has great influence on the capital markets of the country, should bring to you here in California an up-to- date message of what we do ani why.

  • NORTHMUNC IV Crisis Committee: Watergate Scandal Start Date: June 18, 1972 (Day of Watergate Break-In) Chair: Richard Nixon
    NORTHMUNC IV Crisis Committee: Watergate Scandal Start Date: June 18, 1972 (day of Watergate break-in) Chair: Richard Nixon History: In the 1968 election, the death of Robert F. Kennedy opened the doors for previous Vice President Hubert Humphrey to become the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate. On the other side was Republican Richard Nixon, who ran on a platform promoting domestic and foreign peace. Nixon claimed victory over the White House by 500,000 popular votes. Once in office, Nixon’s greatest problem was the Vietnam War. How was he going to stop it and fulfil the promises he had made to the American public during his campaign? The war was widely unpopular among the American people and resulted in many protests demanding peace. Nixon urged the American people to be patient and pursued negotiations. By the end of Nixon’s first year in office, he sported a 59% approval rating. At the end of his second year, that figure had fallen to 52%. At the beginning of 1972, Nixon’s approval rating reached a high of 62%. Possible causes of Nixon’s high approval ratings include landing the first man on the moon in 1969 and running a successful re-election campaign. It is safe to say that Nixon was relatively popular amongst the American people during his first term. During the 1972 election, the Democratic Party chose George McGovern as their nomination over Senator Edmund Muskie. The Republican Party renominated Richard Nixon. In early June, it seemed likely that Nixon would win his second presidential election as many Americans believed he was taking the right course of action in Vietnam.

  • 1964 Signature File
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1964 SIGNATURE FILE Series Description The 1964 Signature File contains materials similar to some of the files in the 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file at Gettysburg. It consists of files which the Gettysburg staff determined were no longer needed for reference. These materials were shipped to the Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kansas and organized following the same arrangement pattern as the Principal File. Since the files in this series contained many carbon copies of letters signed by Eisenhower, it was called the “Signature File.” Correspondence, printed materials, cards, transcripts, and reports can be found in this series. This series is divided into two parts, a Subject Subseries and an Alphabetical Subseries. The Subject Subseries includes files on gifts the Eisenhowers received, invitations, memberships, politics, public relations, and trips. The public relations folders contain the transcripts of interviews Eisenhower granted in which he discussed such topics as Suez, the Middle East, missile programs, and scientist John von Neumann. There are several folders on Eisenhower’s trip to the Republican National Convention in July 1964 as well as frequent references to the presidential campaign, the “stop Goldwater” movement, and the future of the Republican Party. About half of the Alphabetical Subseries consists of birthday letters and get well messages. There are numerous references to politics, and materials on a bi-partisan appeal by Eisenhower and Stevenson encouraging people to vote. This subseries includes a memo of discussion between Dwight D. Eisenhower and John McCone, an analysis of the developments in the Communist world, and transcripts of Party-to-People Forums where Eisenhower and others discussed such issues as the Berlin Wall, the “missile gap,” foreign alliances, and military spending.
