INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

            Connor was one of several young assistants brought into the Ford White House by Assistant to the President for White House Operations Donald Rumsfeld.  Originally detailed from the Atomic Energy Commission, Connor's first assignment was to review the presidential scheduling and advance operations.  When Connor became Cabinet Secretary in January 1975, he continued to supervise the Scheduling and Advance Office and oversee the planning of President Ford's long-range schedule.

 

            As Cabinet Secretary, Connor oversaw the organization of Cabinet meetings by preparing agendas, assembling background papers, accumulating meeting minutes, confirming attendance by Cabinet officers and White House aides, and coordinating follow-up activities.  Connor worked closely on these tasks with Warren Rustand of the Scheduling Office.  Rustand had handled similar activities in 1974, although without the title of Cabinet Secretary, and he also took notes at Cabinet meetings from 1974 until he left the White House in October 1975.  Connor, however, was the principal intermediary between the White House and Cabinet officials.  He was charged with assuring direct access to the president and mobilizing the Cabinet on behalf of key presidential initiatives, including important congressional votes.

 

            In June 1975, Rumsfeld reorganized a number of White House operations.  In the shuffle, Connor retained his role as Cabinet Secretary but took over Jerry Jones' duties as Staff Secretary.  Jones in turn replaced Connor as head of the Scheduling and Advance Office.  As Staff Secretary, Connor was a key supervisor of the White House Office, but delegated many duties to staff assistants.  David Hoopes directly handled most routine matters, including assigning White House staff perks and assembling briefing papers.  Michael Farrell coordinated White House tours and special events.  Trudy Fry maintained the Special Files, and the presidential handwriting file.  Robert Linder had responsibility for the correspondence unit and other permanent operating offices.

 

            Connor's day-to-day duties as Staff Secretary included monitoring the flow of paperwork to and from the president, including special presidential courier service outside the Washington, D.C. area.  He also notified White House staff, Cabinet officials and other senior level advisers of the final decisions and comments on documents sent to the president and on certain personnel appointments.  Throughout 1975, Connor coordinated Rumsfeld's efforts to reduce the size of the White House payroll by ten percent. 

 

            During his tenure in the White House, Connor also worked on a variety of special projects assigned to him by Rumsfeld or Richard Cheney, including energy policy formulation, the reform of the intelligence community, and the White House Fellows program.  He also was involved in planning the presidential campaign of 1976 and the transition from the Ford to Carter administrations, but these latter topics are incompletely documented in the files.

 

            The collection document his responsibilities as Staff Secretary and Cabinet Secretary, especially his handling of White House administrative matters; the flow of presidential paperwork; and the planning and follow-up of Cabinet meetings.  As a matter of course, the files also document many events and policy issues.

 

            The Connor files are especially full in documenting his work with Chief of Staff Donald Rumsfeld during 1975, both as Cabinet Secretary and as Staff Secretary.  The Staff Secretary Subject File and the Cabinet Secretary Subject File both contain numerous memoranda and notes exchanged between Connor and Chiefs of Staff Rumsfeld and Cheney. 

 

            A number of series span the entire Ford administration and include files accumulated by Connor's predecessor as Staff Secretary, Jerry Jones.  The Presidential Personnel Appointments File in particular appears to cover a wide range of personnel decisions throughout the administration.  However, the Staff Comments File and possibly the Courier Materials File are incomplete for much of 1976.  Connor's files on intelligence community reforms are strongest for July to September 1975, although some later materials appear.

 

 

 

Related Materials (November 1995):

            Given the central role of the Staff Secretary in the operations of the White House, many of the White House staff files in the Ford Library contain information about Connor's responsibilities.  In particular, the papers of Michael Raoul-Duval, the files of John Marsh, and the files of Richard Cheney help fill gaps in the Connor files, especially Connor's work on the 1976 campaign and on the Ford-Carter transition.

 

            Other files in the Ford Library document the work of Connor's staff assistants and the Office of Staff Secretary, including the Special Files, the President's Daily Diary, the Presidential Handwriting File, and the Presidential Mail and Telephone Logs.  The files of Jerry Jones, Connor's predecessor as Staff Secretary; the files of Warren Rustand, who had Cabinet-related responsibilities in 1974 and 1975 (currently unprocessed); and the files of Deputy Staff Secretary David Hoopes may be useful as well.


 

Series Descriptions

 

1-3           Cabinet Secretary Subject File, 1975-76.  (1.0 linear feet)

Biographical information on Cabinet members, memoranda concerning presidential meetings with individual Cabinet members, background memoranda on selected issues discussed in Cabinet meetings, lists of presidential meetings with the Cabinet, and other information on Connor's organization of Cabinet meetings and Cabinet members' contacts with Congress on policy issues. 

Arranged alphabetically by subject and thereunder chronologically.

 

3-6           Cabinet Meetings File, 1974‑76.  (1.2 linear feet)

Announcements, memoranda, agenda suggestions, agendas, talking points, attendance lists and background papers from all but a few Cabinet meetings, including two cancelled meetings.  Also includes Warren Rustand's minutes for most meetings from October 1974 to October 1975. 

Arranged chronologically by date of meeting.

 

7-21         Staff Secretary Subject File, 1974‑77.  (6.0 linear feet)

Material on Connor's activities in the White House as assistant to Donald Rumsfeld and later as Staff Secretary.  The file also includes materials on Connor's 1974 and 1975 scheduling and advance work and scattered information on contacts with Cabinet officials and their staffs, although most of the latter is filed in the Cabinet Secretary Subject File.  Particularly well documented is White House Office administration, including Rumsfeld's efforts to reduce the size of the staff and institute tighter controls over the president's scheduling operations.  Other subjects covered are early planning efforts for the 1976 presidential campaign; energy policy review, including nuclear power, uranium enrichment and a critique of Energy Resources Finance Corporation (ERFCO); and Connor's activities as White House liaison on the selection of White House Fellows. 

Arranged alphabetically by subject.

 


22-26       Connor Chronological File, 1974‑77.  (2.0 linear feet)

Photocopies and carbons of outgoing memoranda to White House staff and occasional correspondence with government officials, friends, and professional associates.  The file consists mostly of memos reporting presidential decisions and comments on papers submitted to Ford.  Sometimes copies of presidential handwritten notes are attached, especially if they help clarify a presidential decision or comment.

Arranged chronologically.

 

 

27-31       Presidential Decisions and Comments File, 1974‑77.  (2.0 linear feet)

Photocopies of memos from Connor or his predecessor Jerry Jones to White House staff, Cabinet officials and political advisers informing them of presidential decisions or comments on documents they had submitted to Ford.  Also included are comments and directives originating with the president which Connor or Jones routed to appropriate individuals.  The series provides an overview of the extent to which Ford directed and responded to the work of his advisers. 

Arranged by name of person receiving the memo, and thereunder chronologically.

 

32-41       Staff Comments File, 1974‑77.  (4.0 linear feet)

Action Memoranda, mostly from 1974 and 1975, from the Staff Secretary to selected White House staff requesting comments on policy memoranda, congressional bills, correspondence to non-federal government officials, and other documents.  Attached to each Action Memorandum is a copy of the item upon which staff comments were requested and the comments themselves.  The original memoranda and original staff comments are typically filed here.  This series also includes copies of memos routed to White House staff  for informal comment outside the Action Memoranda system.

Arranged chronologically.

 


42-46       Courier Materials File, 1974‑76.  (1.8 linear feet)

Photocopies of memoranda, correspondence, reports and other material sent by special courier from the Staff Secretary to President Ford on certain trips out of the Washington DC area, especially to Vail and Camp David.  None of the items document subsequent presidential annotations or decisions.  Most of the courier materials are duplicated in other Connor series or in other files in the Ford Library.  A possible exception are scattered notes from Rumsfeld to Ford in some 1975 folders. 

Arranged chronologically.

 

47-55       Presidential Personnel Appointments File, 1974‑77.  (3.6 linear feet)

Memoranda from the White House Personnel Office to President Ford recommending appointments to a wide variety of Executive branch agencies, boards and commissions, with Ford's decisions.  Included is a sequence of preliminary recommendations from the personnel office director to Donald Rumsfeld, with Rumsfeld's initials or comments; and status reports on vacancies in the Executive branch.  Also included is information on Ford's appointments to federal district and circuit judgeships and on various ambassadorial appointments.

Arranged alphabetically by agency.

 

56-58       Intelligence Community Subject File, 1975‑76.  (1.0 linear feet)

Material concerning foreign intelligence matters, especially the 1975 intelligence investigations and White House attempts to reform the intelligence community.  Connor was most heavily involved in these matters from July to October 1975.  Although the series contains scattered reports, presidential decision memoranda, and briefing books from other time periods, few Connor working papers fall outside that four month span.  A major focus of the series is White House attempts to review and implement Rockefeller Commission recommendations, July-September 1975.  Some material concerns the creation of the White House Intelligence Coordinating Group in September 1975, its operation in the first month or so, and the House and Senate Select Committees.

Arranged alphabetically by subject and chronologically thereunder.
