BESERRA, RUDY: Files, 1982-1988

Office of Public Liaison (Hispanics, Asian Americans, Arab Americans)

Rudy Beserra joined the White House staff in September 1986, succeeding Luis Acle as the Public Liaison Associate Director in charge of outreach to the Hispanic-, Asian-, and Arab-American communities. In August 1988, he was promoted to Special Assistant.

Some of the material in Beserra’s collection predates his arrival at the White House, but was utilized by him in the course of his work.
