and U.S. Senator (1933-1971). Best known for his opposition to civil rights legislation, Russell also focused on national

Contents: |
From 1957 until 1971, the Administration and Press offices shared the same secretary and files. After 1971, the two offices
were separated, as were their filing systems. Therefore some of the subseries are identical to those in the Press Office files
series. This series consists of those activities that are not directly associated with "legislating" or providing constituent
services but are nevertheless part of the routine of every officeholder. Also included are visitor cards, guest books, the
Senator's appointment books, telephone records, and White House tour requests. Topics include the desegregation of the University
of Mississippi in 1962; the civil action suit between Ivan Allen, Jr., Mayor of Atlanta, and Rev. Robert Hunter, leader of
the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1967; Vietnam; reaction to the Gulf of Tonkin and Mansfield Resolutions in
1967; the Pueblo incident; and the Whitten Amendment of 1969 which proposed the freedom of choice as an acceptable desegregation
plan.

Talmadge's office staff had to coordinate the organization of constituent correspondence records. The tracking system began
with attaching the actual letter (incoming and outgoing), along with copies of approved response paragraphs. These materials
were then organized under a subject access point. Topics of interest include tax reform, Vietnam, school desegregation, busing,
gun control, social services, and the Panama Canal Treaty.

Contents: |
The Richard B. Russell, Jr. Collection comprehensively documents Russell's activities as a United States senator representing
the state of Georgia. The Dictation Series is composed of letters and memoranda entirely or partially dictated by Senator
Russell. The series is an integration of the copies for the Winder and Washington offices. Most of the dictated correspondence
or memos contain Russell's views on upcoming legislation, political appointments, support of or opposition to bills and amendments
as well as his positions on such issues as defense, the Vietnam war, agriculture issues, the investigation of the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy, and civil rights and other national issues. Senator Russell rarely expressed his opinions regarding
local and state politics in writing or in any public forum.
