CORRESPONDENCE, WHITE HOUSE
OFFICE OF: COMMENTS AND VOLUNTEERS: Records, 1981-1989
This
collection is a unit of the White House Office of Correspondence. The Library is treating this unit as a
separate collection.
The
collection consists of three series: SERIES I: Telephone Comment Tally Sheets;
SERIES II: Visitor Office Items; and SERIES III: Nursing Care Facility
Comments.
The bulk
of the collection consists of tally sheets maintained by the Comments Office to
record views, support and/or opposition received by the White House via the
telephone. These can be about a specific topic, a piece of legislation, remarks
the President made, and/or general support/non-support. The system consists of simple tally sheets,
hand-maintained by the Comments Office staff and a compilation of the
individual numbers. The Library currently
has these tallies for 1981-1984 only. We
found no other examples of these numbers anywhere else within the Office of
Correspondence.
This
collection has no evidence of the “Volunteer” side of this office. We have some objects for events at the White
House and assume these were items left behind by volunteers working at these
events.
Finally
the collection includes a series of index cards with observations and comments
regarding nursing care facilities. This
appears to have been a letter-writing campaign to the White House and would
normally be kept in Bulk Mail, but was sent to the Library as part of the
Office of Correspondence records.
