|
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.
