  • 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.

  • Eisenhower's Parallel Track
    Eisenhower’s Parallel Track Reassessing President Eisenhower’s activism through an analysis of the development of the first US space policy A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Mark Shanahan, Department of Politics and History, Brunel University London September 2014 i Abstract: Historians of the early space age have established a norm whereby President Eisenhower's actions are judged solely as a response to the launch of the Sputnik satellite, and are indicative of a passive, negative presidency. His low-key actions are seen merely as a prelude to the US triumph in space in the 1960s. This study presents an alternative view showing that Eisenhower’s space policy was not a reaction to the heavily-propagandised Soviet satellite launches, or even the effect they caused in the US political and military elites, but the continuation of a strategic track. In so doing, it also contributes to the reassessment of the wider Eisenhower presidency. Having assessed the development of three intersecting discourses: Eisenhower as president; the genesis of the US space programme; and developments in Cold War US reconnaissance, this thesis charts Eisenhower’s influence both on the ICBM and reconnaissance programmes and his support for a non-military approach to the International Geophysical Year. These actions provided the basis for his space policy for the remainder of his presidency. The following chapters show that Sputnik had no impact on the policies already in place and highlight Eisenhower’s pragmatic activism in enabling the implementation of these policies by a carefully-chosen group of expert ‘helping hands’.

  • 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.

  • Central Clearance As Presidential Management
    Central Clearance as Presidential Management Andrew Rudalevige CSAS Working Paper 20-05 Bureaucracy and Presidential Administration: Expertise and Accountability in Constitutional Government, February 6, 2020 CENTRAL CLEARANCE AS PRESIDENTIAL MANAGEMENT Andrew Rudalevige Department of Government, Bowdoin College [email protected] Prepared for the Conference on Bureaucracy and Presidential Administration: Expertise and Accountability in Constitutional Government, C. Boyden Gray Center for the Study of the Administrative State, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University, February 6, 2020. Many thanks to participants in the September 2019 workshop where an earlier iteration of this paper was presented, especially Sally Katzen, Don Elliott, and Stuart Shapiro, as well as Jennifer Nou, Nicholas Parrillo, Dick Pierce, and Joseph Postell. 2 A century ago, in October 1919, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin Delano Roosevelt testified to a House committee on the “machinery” needed by federal government executives. FDR argued that federal departments should have a central “inspection force… that we could send first to one bureau and then to another, with authority to…dig out the facts for us.” And the same principle, he argued, “applies in the case of the next higher step, the President,” who needed “machinery which he has not got at the present time.” For example, “he ought to have…someone who could come into my department at any time and see how I am running it” as well as some means of overseeing legislative and spending proposals sent by the departments to Congress. “No President of the United States, as an individual,” FDR observed, “has time to coordinate the hundreds of items of the different departments before they are sent to Congress.”1 In 1946, in a meeting with FDR’s successor as president, Harry Truman, Bureau of the Budget director Harold Smith put the same case in slightly different terms.

  • The History of Civilian-Military Relations in Space by Dwayne A
    Chapter Two Invitation to Struggle: The History of Civilian-Military Relations in Space by Dwayne A. Day The history of American civilian and military cooperation in space is one of compet- ing interests, priorities, and justifications at the upper policy levels, combined with a remarkable degree of cooperation and coordination at virtually all operational levels. It is a history of the evolution of responsibility for space exploration. Both the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations gradually decided which organization should be responsible for which activities, eventually establishing these responsibilities as fact. This process did not result in a smooth transition; first the Army and then the Air Force saw its hopes for assum- ing the predominant role in space exploration subsumed to larger national priorities. It proved to be most painful for the Air Force, which had the biggest dreams €or space and saw them dashed as NASA achieved all of the glory during the Cold War space race. This history can be separated into two broad eras-cooperation prior to NASA's cre- ation and cooperation between NASA and the Department of Defense (DOD), with a transition period in between. This transition is an aspect that is frequently overlooked in discussions of the subject, for civil-military cooperation in space did not begin with the establishment of NASA-it changedwith the creation of NASA, and it did so dramatically. Prior to NASA's establishment, the military had had the upper hand in.determining all space priorities, and civilian interests, when considered at all, were clearly secondary. There were also multiple military space actors-primarily the Air Force and the Army- and it was not clear which would emerge dominant.

  • RANDALL, CLARENCE B.: Journals, 1953-1961
    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS RANDALL, CLARENCE B.: Journals, 1953-1961 Accession A85-10 Processed by: HLP Date Completed: February 1987 Electrostatic copies of the journals of Clarence B. Randall, steel company executive, chairman of the Commission on Foreign Economic Policy, chairman of the Council of Foreign Economic Policy, and special assistant to the President, were obtained from the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library at Princeton University in January-March, 1985. Linear feet shelf space occupied: 4 Approximate number of pages: 5,800 Approximate number of items: 46 These journals were donated to the Princeton University Library by Mr. Randall’s two daughters, Ms. Mary R. Gilkey and Mrs. Lemuel B. Hunter. Literary property rights in the journals are retained by Ms. Gilkey and Mrs. Hunter. At the request of Princeton University Library and the heirs to limit copying done by researchers, the Eisenhower Library has established a 100-page limit on the number of pages a researcher can copy from these journals. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The journals of Clarence B. Randall span the years 1953 through 1961. These journals reflect Randall’s activities as chairman of the Commission on Foreign Economic Policy (1953-1954), as chairman of the Council on Foreign Economic Policy (1956-1961), and as a special consultant to the President on foreign economic policy during the interim between these two positions (1954- 1956).
