Scope and Content Information

This addition to the Hugh Scott Papers consists of ca. 7500 items (15 Hollinger boxes, ca. 6.25 linear shelf feet), 1941-1983, of his naval service papers and political papers, including minority leader files, photographs, and memorabilia chiefly concerning Scott's career as a United States senator.

The naval service papers, 1941, 1945, and 1969, are comprised of material concerning Scott's work in communications for the 3rd amphibious force. There are official orders and public information plans mainly concerned with the surrender of Japanese public information personnel and the occupation of Japan.

The political papers include material on Richard M. Nixon's resignation as president  next hit of the United States, including meetings with Mike Mansfield on impeachment procedure, Scott's trips to China and the Soviet Union, and his retirement from the Senate. In the Chinese trips papers are transcripts of talks, 1976, with Vice Premier Chang Ch'un Ch'iao and foreign minister Ch'iao Kuan-hu, and notes for an interview, 1972, with Chou En-lai.

There is also a VIP file which includes letters signed by Spiro T. Agnew, George Bush, John Connally, Thomas E. Dewey, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Mamie Eisenhower, Gerald R. Ford, King Hussein, Lyndon B. Johnson, Lady Bird Johnson, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Henry A. Kissinger, Alf M. Landon, Henry Cabot Lodge, Robert S. McNamara, Richard M. Nixon, Eugene Ormandy, Cliff Robertson, Nelson A. Rockefeller, William P. Rogers, George Romney, Dean Rusk, and William W. Scranton. Other prominent correspondents in the political papers include Sam Ervin, Leon Jaworski and Mike Mansfield. There are also brief notes from several senators on Scott's proposed retirement.

The senatorial papers consist of minority leader files. This material includes statements from Mike Mansfield and Scott, notes from leadership meetings with the previous hit president  next hit, vice- previous hit president  next hit, cabinet, Senate, and House leaders' files re various campaigns, and a "201" file (A military phrase meaning a personal or individual file.) containing correspondence with Scott's Republican colleagues, with a separate folder for each. There is also correspondence with Democratic senators including Birch Bayh, Philip A. Hart, Hubert H. Humphrey, Edward M. Kennedy, Walter F. Mondale, Edmund S. Muskie, William Proxmire, Adlai E. Stevenson, and John V. Tunney.

The photographs, 1968-1976, are chiefly of Republican senators during certain political events, such as Nelson A. Rockefeller's announcement of his candidacy in 1968, the resignation of Richard M. Nixon in 1974, and Gerald R. Ford and Nelson A. Rockefeller being sworn in as previous hit president  next hit and vice- previous hit president  next hit.

Senators and other prominent politicians pictured include Wallace F. Bennett, Robert C. Byrd, Gerald R. Ford, Jake Garn, Robert P. Griffin, Clifford P. Hansen, Edward M. Kennedy, Mike Mansfield, Frank Moss, Richard Nixon, Nelson A. Rockefeller, and Hugh Scott. There are also photographs of Hugh and Marian Scott's trips to China in 1972 and 1976, and one of Leonid I. Brezhnev.
