William Tapley Bennett's career in the U.S. Department of State can be followed through the correspondence, press releases, and clippings, as he progressed through the ranks from Area Officer to Counselor and Minister to Ambassador. His assignment to the Dominican Republic as Ambassador encompassed the "Dominican Crisis of 1965" and the controversy surrounding the sending of U.S. Marines to San Domingo. The researcher will find detailed accounts of the action in Bennett's own words, from other witnesses, and many newspapers, as well as several scholarly papers written on the subject.The assignments are well documented with the exception of Rome, Italy in the spring of 1961 which lasted only a month; Bennett was then reassigned to Athens, Greece.Bennett stated that his most responsible position was that of Representative to the North Atlantic Council of NATO from 1977 to 1983. Speeches made for NATO are included in this series, as well as, correspondence and farewell ceremonies (June, 1983) at the end of the assignment. A. State Department, Washington

III. Speech and Press
8 box(es)
(4.5 linear feet)
This series is divided into four subseries: A. Speeches by Bennett, 1947-1990, B. Speaking Engagements, C. Speech Material, and D. Speeches by Others, following headings kept by Bennett's office. "Speaking Engagements" includes some correspondence on arrangements, a log, and Speaker's Report from the U.S. Department of State.Bennett's speeches are a corollary to the correspondence in earlier series in revealing his personality and his character. His command of the English language and adherence to rules of usage are worthy of note (and were a source of wit for his staff).Bennett spoke on a wide variety of subjects and to varied audiences: university groups, churches, military installations among many. His tenure at the United Nations was a prolific period for speechmaking. Following his retirement in 1985, he gave lectures and speeches, some of which are included in the collection. A.
