ROUSSELOT, JOHN H.: Files, 1983

Office of Public Liaison (Business, Defense Issues, Agriculture)

John Rousselot (1927-2003) was one of four people simultaneously appointed to Office of Public Liaison positions in April 1983, as Faith Whittlesey replaced Elizabeth Dole as head of the office. Rousselot was a Los Angeles native and longtime vocal Reagan supporter. He had been one of Congress’ most conservative members until he was defeated for re-election in 1982. His Public Liaison portfolio included business, defense, and agricultural issues. Much of his defense-related work in OPL focused on the MX missile, a highly publicized issue at the time. Rousselot left the White House effective November 1, 1983, to work in Ronald Reagan’s re-election campaign.

The material in the Rousselot staff file collection documents Reagan Administration efforts to raise support for the Administration’s positions on the MX missile and other defense issues. The effort involved a three-stage campaign: “Phase I,” “Phase II,” and “Phase III.” This material comprises Series I: Defense.

This collection is arranged into three series: SERIES I: Defense; SERIES II: Business and SERIES III: Agriculture.
