Description
Communications to United States President Jimmy Carter and his senior staff managed by the Office of the Staff Secretary, dating from January 1977 to May 1979. This series was opened in 1989. This series contains correspondence, memoranda, notes, briefing material, speeches, schedules, photographs, graphs, clippings, and miscellaneous printed material. The material in this series includes the best daily documentation for the Carter Presidency. Although one can find some material in this file on virtually every important domestic issue of the Carter era, this series is particularly valuable because of the voluminous material relating to energy policy, economic issues, and political developments. Moreover, drafts of most of President Carter's major speeches and statements can be found in the series. The material consists of the daily contents of the President’s outbox, often penned with his handwritten responses on the documents and sent to the interested parties by Records of the Office of the Staff Secretary Rick Hutcheson.
