C. Chronological Files, 1972-1995

Extent:
13 box(es) and (6.5 linear feet)
Scope and content:

The chronological files are parallel to the general correspondence and contain only Rusk's replies to correspondence, never the incoming letter. Arrangement is chronological by month and year.

Even without the incoming letter, Mr. Rusk's reply can be valuable as he often gives information and opinions, even convictions, to his correspondents on timely topics. For example, these letters indicate his thoughts to Prof. Harry B. Williams, University of Georgia, on December 17, 1984 regarding "polls" and "monitoring" international relations; to Dr. William C. Gibbons, December 12, 1984 on the idea of President Johnson "intimidating" his advisors; to Mark Hartley on April 27, 1981 on the Bay of Pigs; and to Jimmy Carter on his "observations on the Carter Presidency" in April, 1981.
