|
|
Contents: |
The Miscellaneous File acts as a partial name cross-reference file for Series I. Legislative, IV. Personal, V. Political,
and VI. Post Office. It is a partial cross-reference file because not everything that is in the Miscellaneous File is in the
series it cross-references, and vice versa. The Miscellaneous File may only have a copy of Pilcher's reply to a letter, the
letter but no reply, or both the letter and its reply together. Individuals may be found under their own names or under the
organization they represent. The files in the series reflect constituent opinions on the topics of the day, their requests
for information and assistance, various projects for the benefit of the Second District that Pilcher undertook, and Pilcher's
relationship with both federal and state agencies. Items of special interest include letters to and from U.S. and state legislators
such as Richard B. Russell, Herman Talmadge, Carl Vinson, E. L. Forrester, Iris Blitch, and J. Willis Conger (State Senator,
8th District); material from Pilcher's Executive Assistant, John W. Ellis; a 1958 letter from Pilcher to the National Historical
Wax Museum in Washington, D.C., detailing an anecdote about Carl Vinson; the Griffin Bell file, concerning his appointment
to the 5th Circuit judgeship--he later became Attorney General (1977-1979) under President Jimmy Carter; and material about
the Atlantic Union, a plan to create a commonwealth including North America and Western Europe in which Pilcher was interested,
and about one of its most ardent advocates, Mrs. Chase S. Osborne.

|
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.
