BREAUX, MERLIN: Files, 1985-1986

 

Office of Public Liaison

 

Merlin Breaux was born on January 15, 1932.  He was born in Sour Lake, Louisiana. He attended local schools and graduated from Lamar University in Beaumont, Louisiana after taking time off for a time in the US Air Force.  Breaux began work with oil companies during his college years and worked for Gulf Oil Corporation most of his adult life, rising from an industrial relations specialist to a corporate vice president.  He was asked to work for President Reagan and was a Special Assistant to the President for Public Liaison working in mostly commercial and business outreach.  Mr. Breaux died on July 25, 2009.

 

This collection consists of four series: Series I: Subject File, Series II: Events; Series III: Mari Maseng Events and Series IV: Correspondence. The Library originally had a small collection for Breaux, but later material was found created by him in his assistant Todd Foley’s collection and his successor, Dan Danner’s collection.
