D. Dick Ribbentrop Files
- Scope and content:
-
Dick Ribbentrop was legislative director and had responsibilities in the areas of Defense, Foreign Policy and Appropriations, all of which generated extensive files. Senator Mattingly as chair of the subcommittee on Military Construction Appropriations, wrote bills to include aid to the "Contras" in Nicaragua. Documentation is found in this sub-series. Work on a constitutional amendment and later a bill to provide President Reagan with authority for a line item veto brought Mattingly publicity and recognition. Research was done concerning needs of the Brunswick Port and a bill introduced for improving facilities there.
