MARGARET: Files, 1981-1985
Office of Political Affairs: Deputy Assistant
to the President for Political Affairs
Office of the Chief of Staff: Special Assistant
to the President and Executive Assistant to the Chief of Staff
Margaret Tutwiler (1950- ) came to the Reagan
White House as the Executive Assistant to Ronald Reagans first Chief of Staff,
James Baker. She had held positions in the Republican Party of her native
As the 1984 elections approached, Baker sought
to avoid mixing government and political resources to every extent possible.
Therefore, the White House Office of Political Affairs was disbanded in October
1983, with most of its staff leaving the White House for positions in President
Reagans 1984 re-election campaign. Within the remaining White House staff,
most political affairs duties were assigned to Tutwiler, under Bakers direct
supervision. She served as White House liaison to the Republican Party and the
1984 Presidential campaign, coordinated White House assistance to the re-election
campaigns of Republican members of Congress, and coordinated and approved
political travel by White House staff. In July 1984, she was promoted to Deputy
Assistant for Political Affairs.
When Baker became Secretary of the Treasury in
early 1985, Tutwiler transferred to the Treasury Department as one of his
Assistant Secretaries. She continued to work under Baker, in the State
Department and White House, throughout the George Bush Administration. When
George W. Bush became President in 2001, Tutwiler worked briefly on his White
House staff, then served as Ambassador to
Although Tutwiler worked as an assistant to
James Baker for her entire Reagan White House tenure, she was, in position and
in practice, the chief White House political affairs person during the crucial
period of the 1984 campaign. Her files, which were maintained as one unit
throughout her time in the Reagan White House, pertain mostly to her political
affairs work rather than her role as Bakers Administrative Assistant. For
these reasons, the Reagan Library has placed her entire collection within the
Office of Political Affairs.
The following folder list is based on a
preliminary arrangement and description of the Tutwiler collection done in
1990.
