They were provided by a large sales finance company to represent changes in terms and experience in twelve metropolitan areas during this period. These areas were selected on the basis of their employment experience in 195 3—55 to encom- pass the complete spectrum of labor market situations as defined by the Bureau of Employment Security, as well as to cover the country geographically. The period to which the data apply was, of course, basically a fairly prosperous period, but it does include the mild busi- ness contraction of July 1953—August 1954. During this recession we have traced a number of the relevant economic variables by means of cross-sectional analysis. The twelve metropolitan areas and their classi- fication with respect to adequacy of labor supply are: July 1953 July 1954 July 1955 Hartford I II B New York City III III C Philadelphia III IV-A D Atlanta II II B Pittsburgh III IV-A D Chicago II III C St.

  • 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.

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.
