BISTANY, JOANNA: Files, 1981-1983

Office of Communications

Joanna Bistany (1947-2002) was a native of New York City. She received her Master’s degree from the University of Kentucky. She then did postgraduate work at the University of Cincinnati, and the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, in the area of clinical behavior management. She worked for the Reagan presidential campaign beginning in October 1979, and assisted David Gergen during the 1980-81 transition period. When Gergen joined the White House staff in 1981, he brought Bistany in as his assistant. In mid-1983 Bistany left the Reagan White House staff for a position with ABC News.

Her collection is arranged into two series: SERIES I: Subject File; and SERIES II: Phone Logs. We have created a “Bistany/Gergen” subject file within the Gergen collection. Much of the material bears some imprint from David Gergen, but much of it also shows work product for Bistany. For a fuller sense of her responsibilities, please see SERIES I: Bistany/Gergen Subject File within the David Gergen collection.
