The papers of Clark McAdams Clifford (1906-1998) span the years
1883-1999, with the bulk of the material dating from his appointment as special
counsel to President Harry S. Truman in 1946 to his death in 1998. The papers
reflect Clifford's service as a public servant and statesman in four Democratic
party administrations and his corporate law career in Washington, D.C. The
collection documents his role as a political strategist and adviser to
Democratic presidential candidates and administration transition teams. It
further records his appointment as secretary of defense, 1968-1969, and
includes files concerning his attempts as a private citizen to effect a
withdrawal of United States forces from Vietnam. The papers are organized into
the following series:
Public
Service,
Name File,
General
Correspondence,
Subject
File,
Congressional
Testimony,
Speeches and
Writings, and a
Miscellany
consisting primarily of scrapbooks. Items removed from their series location
are housed in the
Oversize,
Classified,
Top Secret,
and
Sensitive
Compartmented Information series. Other collections of Clifford's papers
are located in several presidential libraries of the National Archives and
Records Administration, including the Harry S. Truman Library, Independence,
Missouri; the John F. Kennedy Library, Boston, Massachusetts; and the Lyndon B.
Johnson Library, Austin, Texas.
Clifford was a counselor to presidents and political leaders alike,
and the
Public
Service series contains correspondence, memoranda, cables, position and
background papers, and related material pertaining to his service as a White
House adviser to several Democratic administrations. As Harry S. Truman's
special counsel, 1946-1950, Clifford was influential in foreign affairs and
defense and helped articulate and implement such landmarks of American postwar
policy as the Truman Doctrine and the National Security Act . As a domestic
adviser and political tactician, Clifford is often credited as a coauthor of a
famous 1947 memorandum which outlined the strategy for Truman's eventual
victory in the 1948 presidential election. A copy of this campaign memorandum
can be found in the
Public
Service series. While the series reflects Clifford's term as special
counsel, the files are, for the most part, limited and incomplete.
Clifford remained Truman's personal friend and supporter after
Clifford's resignation from the White House in 1950 and throughout his life. He
and his wife, Margery, also enjoyed a close relationship with Truman's wife,
Bess Wallace Truman. Correspondence and other material relating to the Trumans
in the
Name File
and in speeches given by Clifford commemorating the Truman centennial year,
1984, in the
Speeches and
Writings series, render a fuller understanding of these
relationships.
In 1960, John F. Kennedy, who had earlier chosen Clifford as his
personal lawyer, enlisted him to help plan his campaign strategy for the
presidential election and to prepare a study concerning the transfer of
presidential power. Records from the Kennedy administration in the
Public
Service series contain material relating to both the presidential
campaign and the transition. Papers concerning Clifford's personal legal
efforts on behalf of the first family's real estate holdings can also be found
here. Documents for both John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the
Name File
complement this material and include items relating to Clifford's defense of
Kennedy against accusations of plagiarism concerning the publication of his
book,
Profiles in Courage. The successful settlement of this
matter in 1957-1958 helped forge Clifford's relationship with the future
president.
When Lyndon B. Johnson became president following Kennedy's
assassination, he solicited Clifford's advise and help in directing the
transition. Along with Abe Fortas and Bill D. Moyers, both of whom are also
included in the
Name File,
Clifford became one of Johnson's most trusted advisers and in 1968 was
appointed secretary of defense. Documenting his role as presidential adviser,
the
Public
Service series contains abundant material on selected subjects, including
trips and fact-finding missions taken by Clifford on Johnson's behalf. The
series also contains files related to Clifford's appointment, confirmation, and
service as defense secretary.
As one of the administrations leading spokesmen on Vietnam, Clifford,
who had been regarded as an advocate of a military solution to the war prior to
his appointment as defense secretary, gradually embraced disengagement as the
only viable policy. Clifford traced the beginning of his doubts about the
conflict to a trip he had made in 1967 to Southeast Asia, New Zealand, and the
Pacific region as President Johnson's emissary along with Maxwell D. Taylor.
The
Public
Service series contains selected Defense Department files regarding
Vietnam, as well as records kept by Clifford during his trip to Southeast Asia
in 1967. Clifford examined the evolution of his views on Vietnam in an article
in
Foreign Affairs, July 1969, entitled “A Vietnam
Reappraisal.” Material relating to the writing of and reaction to this article
is in the
Speeches and
Writings series. Other material in this series, as well as in the
Subject File
and
Congressional
Testimony series, chronicle Clifford's efforts to influence the national
debate on the course of the war following his term as secretary of defense.
Although appointed as a special representative to several diplomatic
missions by President Jimmy Carter, Clifford's counsel was sought less
frequently during the Carter presidency than in any previous Democratic
administration. Nevertheless, the
Public
Service series contains records concerning Clifford's mission to Cyprus,
1977, which he undertook in an effort to seek a negotiated peace between the
Greek and Turkish communities which shared the island.
The
Name File
is the largest series in the collection and consists of personal and
professional correspondence and related reference material arranged
alphabetically by name of correspondent concerning a variety of topics
including defense and foreign policy, domestic politics, business and legal
affairs, and social engagements. Characteristic of Clifford's correspondence
were the warm, personal notes and social letters he wrote to friends and
acquaintances, many of which are contained here. The names listed in the series
reflect the network of business, entertainment, government, legal, political,
and social contacts through which Clifford operated as both public servant and
lawyer. Among the many prominent political and military leaders and statesmen
noted in the
Name File,
in addition to those already mentioned, are Dean Acheson, Clinton Presba
Anderson, George W. Ball, Birch Bayh, Edmund G. Brown, McGeorge and William P.
Bundy, Tom C. Clark, Joseph Edward Davies, Thomas F. Eagleton, Dwight D.
Eisenhower, J William Fulbright, W. Averell Harriman, William D. Hassett,
Hubert H. Humphrey, Robert F. Kennedy, Melvin R. Laird, Bert Lance, Charles
McC. Mathias, George S. McGovern, Edmund S. Muskie, Elwood R. Quesada, Walter
Whitman Rostow, James H. Rowe, Dean Rusk, George A. Smathers, James Jeremiah
Wadsworth, and Thomas J. Watson. Journalists and writers are represented by
Joseph Alsop, Grace Halsell, John Shively Knight, David G. McCullough, Mary
McGrory, and Edward P. Morgan, while members of the business and legal
communities include Hillyard Brown, Barnum L. Colton, Donald C. Cook, James N.
Cooke, Justin Whitlock Dart, Leonard K. Firestone, John H. Lashly, Paul W.
Lashly, Paul Aldermandt Porter, and Edward Bennett Williams.
Late in life, Clifford's reputation was questioned because of his
association with an international banking scandal. Although the
General
Correspondence series supplements similar material in the
Name File,
it mostly contains letters received in support of Clifford's legal defense
against charges arising from the collapse of the Bank of Commerce and Credit
International, as well as letters of congratulation on the publication of his
memoirs,
Counsel to the President.
As a former government official and established public figure,
Clifford was frequently asked to testify before congressional committees on a
variety of administrative, intelligence, and foreign policy related subjects.
The
Congressional
Testimony series, which contains material gathered in support of his
statements delivered at these hearings, demonstrates the range of his interests
and the value placed upon his testimony for both its credibility and
insight.
Clifford was a popular public speaker, and the
Speeches and
Writings series includes a full set of his speeches, lectures, and other
public statements. Arranged chronologically, the series includes
correspondence, drafts and outlines, notes, transcripts, and related material
concerning many types of speeches from fully developed policy statements to
commencement addresses. In addition to those prepared for social occasions,
such as Alfalfa and Gridiron Club dinners, his speeches examined the issues
with which he was associated throughout his life, including the relationship
between business and government, politics, foreign affairs and national
security, international relations, law, and the legacy of the Truman
administration. The series also includes a small file of speeches delivered at
Gridiron Club dinners which were written or edited for others by Clifford.
