EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69
1966 PRINCIPAL FILE
Series Description
The 1966 Principal File houses the main office files of Dwight Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office.
Two subseries, a subject and an alphabetical file, make up this series. The twenty-box subject file
has files arranged by categories, such as appointments, Eisenhower Center, education,
Eisenhower name, foreign affairs, Freedoms Foundation, gifts, invitations, medals-awards,
memberships, messages, People-to-People, political affairs, public relations, publications,
servicemen and veterans, and trips. Documentation in this subseries consists of correspondence,
schedules, articles, memoranda, and reports. The thirty-two box Alphabetical Subseries is
arranged in alphabetical order by the name of the individual or organization corresponding with
Eisenhower or his staff. Correspondence, printed materials, articles, statements, memoranda,
reports, transcripts, and lists are found in this subseries.
A sizeable portion of the correspondence in this series deals with routine matters, including
appointments, autograph requests, gifts, invitations, and requests for special messages or
statements. Eisenhower’s staff frequently had to inform individuals as to the general’s policies
on autographs, telephone conversations, and live interviews.
Dwight Eisenhower’s views on a wide variety of issues, trends, and events are recorded in
letters, memoranda, interview transcripts, messages, and articles. 1960s issues he commented on
included Vietnam, universal military training, youth, demonstrations, population growth, birth
control, inflation, NATO, term limits for U.S. legislators and judges, the John Birch Society,
prayer in public schools, Supreme Court decisions, moral and spiritual values, the “military-
industrial complex,” and the domestic policies of the Johnson Administration. He also
commented on World War II events, leadership, and strategy, as well as the accomplishments of
his presidency. The appointment of Earl Warren to the Supreme Court and Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles’ “brinkmanship” strategy are two subjects which also received his attention.
In one interview he reflected on the roles of such outstanding leaders in the past as George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Robert E. Lee.
There is considerable correspondence in this series regarding Republican politics and the 1966
congressional and gubernatorial races. Eisenhower urged Republicans to unite, and he supported
such candidates as Ronald Reagan, Edward Brooke, George Bush, Mark Hatfield, and others. He
offered suggestions as to potential Republican presidential candidates for 1968.
Eisenhower continued to maintain contacts with many prominent individuals. This series
includes correspondence with Konrad Adenauer, General Omar Bradley, Warren Burger, Walter
Cronkite, Bob Hope, Bobby Jones, Lord Mountbatten, Richard Nixon, Arnold Palmer, Charles
Percy, Gary Player, Ronald Reagan, Nelson Rockefeller, William Scranton, Lord Tedder, Harry
Truman, John Wayne, and General Westmoreland.

Former staff members from his Administration continued to correspond with the ex-president.
General Andrew Goodpaster, General Alfred Gruenther, Oveta Culp Hobby, Neil McElroy,
Anne Wheaton, and Ann C. Whitman were among those who had contact with their former boss.
Eisenhower also sent letters to a number of former members of his Administration and suggested
they consider donating their personal papers to his presidential library.
Although most of the files in the Alphabetical Subseries represent his correspondence with an
individual for 1966, in a few cases the file contains accumulated correspondence for a number of
years. Eisenhower’s files of correspondence with Charles Halleck and Charles Percy cover the
period from 1963 to 1966. His file for the Pitcairn family has copies of letters from 1952 to 1967.
This series contains transcripts of several interviews of Dwight Eisenhower by various
journalists and writers as well as articles based on such interviews. These materials contain his
comments on a wide variety of historic events as well as 1960s issues.
Eisenhower had the policy of never commenting publicly on articles or books which were critical
of his actions, strategy, or policies in World War II or as president. However, he frequently
commented on such matters in his private correspondence. He criticized journalists and
historians who he believed had misquoted him, made unfounded allegations, misinterpreted what
he had done, or made outright errors in their presentation of the facts.
There are numerous references to Eisenhower’s continuing health problems in this series. While
his health concerns reduced the length and frequency of his travels, he still managed a number of
trips to such places as Abilene, the White House, Chicago, Kansas City, New York City, and
Augusta. In December 1966 he had a gall bladder operation at Walter Reed. Other personal
matters reflected in this series include Ike and Mamie’s 50
th
wedding anniversary and the re-
interment of their son Doud Dwight, “Icky,” at the Eisenhower Center in Abilene, Kansas.
Despite health problems, occasional trips, and voluminous correspondence, Eisenhower still
found time to work on books and articles. Articles written by Eisenhower for Reader’s Digest are
found in this series, along with hand-edited drafts. Correspondence between Eisenhower and
Doubleday executives includes references to Mandate for Change
and Waging Peace as well as
sales figures for the two volumes.
A number of documents with unique and interesting information can be found scattered
throughout this series. A memorandum supporting General Eisenhower as the Democratic
nominee for president, a memo by Warren Burger regarding the Harold Stassen candidacy and
nominating convention in 1952, and letters from high school students on the draft are in the 1966
Principal File. Other historical tidbits include references to Eisenhower’s boyhood and West
Point years, a description of the pistol he carried during the war, correspondence with an Army
nurse in Vietnam, criticism of the way western novels portray the Army, books that influenced
him, information on citizens of France and Belgium who assisted American forces during the
war, and an explanation of the design for the windows of the chapel in Abilene.
A number of items have been removed from the series. Fifteen items have been transferred to the
museum. One hundred and sixty-six still photographs and one slide have been transferred to the
Page 3 of 41
audiovisual collection. Forty-eight pages of documents have been closed under the donor’s deed
of gift. Two hundred and ninety pages of original documents were removed, placed in the
protective storage, and replaced with copies. There are no security classified documents in this
series.
The 1966 Principal File provides an excellent resource for writers and historians looking for
candid reflections of an ex-president on many different issues, trends, and events. While a
sizeable share of this series consists of routine correspondence, there are numerous materials
which reflect his thinking on various matters as well as his comments on how writers and
historians were interpreting his leadership efforts in World War II and during his presidency.
