White House Interview Program DATE: November 2, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: ROMAN POPADIUK INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar [Disc 1 of 1] MK: It’s on the record except where you want to go on background or off the record. Ultimately, it will end up in the library. RP: This library? MK: Yes. You get a choice of what library it goes into so I’m assuming it will be in this library. The project is trying to develop an institutional memory for seven White House offices, and Press [Office] is one of them. It’s a group of presidency scholars that are working on the project. George Edwards is one of them. We will come out in March or April with a group of standards of a successful start, which are some elements that are common to successful transitions. Then the offices’ material will be made available; some of it will probably be made available at the time the transition teams are put together. The full text of interviews will not be released until after a new president comes in. RP: Okay. Sounds good. MK: Starting off, can you talk about how you got into the White House, and how long you were? Let’s start with that, and how you got in. RP: How I actually got in to the White House? MK: Yes. RP: Well, it was back in February of 1985, but I didn’t start in the Press Office. I’ll give you a long story here. Prior to that I was in the operations [center] over at the State Department, one of the watch officers/editors I guess we were called, if I recall correctly. -

Introduction Ronald Reagan’s Defining Vision for the 1980s— -_and America There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right. ronald reagan, “the speech,” 1964 Your first point, however, about making them love you, not just believe you, believe me—I agree with that. ronald reagan, october 16, 1979 One day in 1924, a thirteen-year-old boy joined his parents and older brother for a leisurely Sunday drive roaming the lush Illinois country- side. Trying on eyeglasses his mother had misplaced in the backseat, he discovered that he had lived life thus far in a “haze” filled with “colored blobs that became distinct” when he approached them. Recalling the “miracle” of corrected vision, he would write: “I suddenly saw a glori- ous, sharply outlined world jump into focus and shouted with delight.” Six decades later, as president of the United States of America, that extremely nearsighted boy had become a contact lens–wearing, fa- mously farsighted leader. On June 12, 1987, standing 4,476 miles away from his boyhood hometown of Dixon, Illinois, speaking to the world from the Berlin Wall’s Brandenburg Gate, Ronald Wilson Reagan em- braced the “one great and inescapable conclusion” that seemed to emerge after forty years of Communist domination of Eastern Eu- rope. “Freedom leads to prosperity,” Reagan declared in his signature For general queries, contact [email protected] © Copyright, Princeton University Press. -
Historical” Nixon Tapes”, President Richard Nixon, Washington Post and the New York Times, and Dan Elsberg
Historical” Nixon Tapes”, President Richard Nixon, Washington Post and The New York Times, and Dan Elsberg NIXON TAPES: "Get the Son of a B*tch" Ellsberg (Pentagon Papers) President Richard Nixon talks with his Attorney General John Mitchell about the leaked secret government documents about the Vietnam War, the Pentagon Papers. They first discuss the position of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, who did not want to investigate the leaker, Daniel Ellsberg, because of his friendship with Ellsberg's father-in-law. Nixon descries some of the "softheads" in his administration who want him to go easy on Ellsberg. He notes that they need to "get the son of a b*tch" or else "wholesale thievery" would happen all over the government. The president feels that the P.R. might not be bad on their part, because people don't like thieves.

(Bob) Haldeman about the press. In particular, he tells Haldeman about Henry Kissinger urging him to do an interview with New York Times reporter James (Scotty) Reston, Sr. Nixon, however, banned all interviews with the New York Times after the paper released the Pentagon Papers and ran an interview that Nixon disliked with Chinese leader Chou Enlai. -
How Courageous Followers Stand up to Destructive Leadership a Thesis
Breaking Toxic Triangles: How Courageous Followers stand up to Destructive Leadership A Thesis Presented to the Swinburne University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of: DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 2020 by Alain Marc Mario de Sales Principal Co-Ordinating Supervisor : Dr. Samir Shrivastava Associate Supervisor : Prof. Christopher Selvarajah Associate Supervisor : Prof. Timothy Moore Abstract Instances of Destructive Leadership abound. It is a growing phenomenon with very real consequences and yet it remains under-researched. The scant work that exists on Destructive Leadership tends to focus on leaders and generally discounts the role of followers. Responding to calls for models which recognise that outcomes are often co-created by leaders and followers, this study explores how followers stand up to leaders to mitigate destructive outcomes. This study anchors its arguments to the Toxic Triangle framework (Padilla 2013), which focuses on the confluence of Destructive Leaders, Susceptible Followers, and Conducive Environments. The insights from this study augment the Toxic Triangle by adding Courageous Followers to the framework. Using Power and Structuration theories as theoretical lenses, the study analyses the discursive actions undertaken by Courageous Followers to shift the power balance while attempting to collapse the Toxic Triangle. The study analyses twelve longitudinal episodes from three cases of Destructive Leadership that spanned decades. Given that the cases entailed shifts in power balance and the fact that discourse and power are said to be indistinguishable from each other and mutually constitute each other, the study adopted Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a method. CDA explored the tension between agency and structure as the power balance shifted. -

WHY DIDN'T NIXON BURN THE TAPES? . 1778 V. VICE PRESIDENT FORD AND THE PARDON ........ 1780 I. INTRODUCTION For almost two years, from early 1973 to September, 1974, Watergate dominated the nation's consciousness. On a daily basis it was on the front pages-usually the headline; in the news magazines-usually the cover story; on the television news-usually the lead. Washington, D.C., a town that ordinarily is obsessed by the future and dominated by predictions about what the President and Congress will do next, was obsessed by the past and dominated by questions about what Richard Nixon had done and why he had done it. Small wonder: Watergate was the political story of the century. Since 1974, Watergate has been studied and commented on by reporters, television documentary makers, historians, and others. These commentators have had an unprecedented amount of material with which to work, starting with the tapes, the documentary record of the Nixon Administration, other material in the Nixon Presidential Materials Project, plus the transcripts of the various congressional hearings, the courtroom testimony of the principal actors, and the memoirs of the participants. -
Reagan, Congress, and the Fight Over the 1987 Federal Highway Bill
Arts & Humanities Open Access Journal Review Article Open Access Preventing roadkill: Reagan, congress, and the fight over the 1987 federal highway bill Introduction Volume 4 Issue 2 - 2020 The election of Ronald Reagan to the presidency represented the Samuel B Hoff beginning of a new era in American history. After decades of chief Department of History, Political Science, and Philosophy, executives who adhered to a liberal or moderate political philosophy, Delaware State University, George Washington Distinguished Reagan unabashedly advocated conservative principles. Wildavsky Professor Emeritus, USA views Reagan as1 “the first president since. Herbert Hoover...to favor Correspondence: Samuel B Hoff, George Washington limited government at home.” Bath and Collier contend that like Andrew Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Department of History, 2 Jackson, Reagan “led attacks on the government from the outside.” Political Science, and Philosophy, Delaware State University, USA, Shogan finds that Reagan’s personal experiences prior to being elected Email president (1992: 226) “gave him an aura of credibility” which in turn “helped him combine his ideology, values, and character into a Received: March 20, 2020 | Published: April 20, 2020 powerful force for presidential leadership.” The latter traits certainly influenced the legislative Reagan White House.

Peter Roussel, Martha Joynt Kumar and Terry Sullivan, Houston, TX., November 3, 1999
White House Interview Program DATE: November 3, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: PETE ROUSSEL INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar with Terry Sullivan [Disc 1 of 2] PR: —even though I was with [George] Bush for six years, in four different jobs. I was two years in the [Gerald] Ford White House, and 1981 to 1987 in the [Ronald] Reagan White House. I might add though, for your benefit, in neither case did I come in at the start. I came in under unusual circumstances in both cases. Maybe that’s something to look at, too, for people, because that’s always going to happen. TS: The notion of start is what we’re focused on, how the administration starts, but start has several definitions. Obviously, for a person who comes into the office it’s their start, whether it’s at the very beginning of the administration or later on in the administration. PR: Sure. TS: So those sorts of experiences are worthwhile as far as we’re concerned, as well. Some of the things we’re mostly interested in are: how the office works?, and things like⎯how do you know when it’s time to leave? What your daily life is like? And things like that. PR: That one I’m more than happy to address, having had the benefit of doing it twice. The second time, I was much more prepared to answer that question than the first time, which most people don’t get a second— TS: ⎯chance at. PR: Yes. Didn’t y’all interview my colleague, Larry Speakes? MK: Speakes and [Ron] Nessen as well. -
