Murray, Bruce C., 1931-. Bruce C. Murray Chronological File Collection, 1976-1982.

Title: Bruce C. Murray Chronological File Collection, 1976-1982.

The collection includes correspondence, memoranda, proposal summaries, and policy statements, all signed either by Bruce Murray or JPL Deputy Director Charles H. Terhune, Jr. Several of the policy statements and proposal summaries are represented only with the signature sheets. The early part of the collection, up until mid-1980 primarily documents the average day-to-day running of the Laboratory. Most of the documents are rather routine, although some personal correspondence is in the collection from those years. Unlike the other chronological file collections (cf. JPL 198, 200, 202, 203), there are no indices for 1976 to mid-1980. It also appears as if Murray delegated many day-to-day functions of the running of the Laboratory to his Deputy Director, as many of the documents from 1976 to 1980 were signed by Terhune. The files have more substance beginning in mid-1980. An index for October-December 1981 is filed at the beginning of October 1981. Beginning in January 1982, an index for each month is filed at the beginning of each month. Murray communicated with several NASA personnel on a routine basis. These included Anthony J. Calio, NASA Office of Space and Terrestrial Applications; John E. Naugle, NASA Chief Engineer, to 1979; Robert A. Frosch, NASA Administrator, 1977-81; and James M. Beggs, NASA Administrator, 1981-85. There is some indication that in the early days of his directorship Murray still needed some additional preparation in administering some aspects of the Laboratory. One example of this is a memo, dated May 3, 1976, from Murray to the Senior Staff where Murray admitted that there were some Civil Systems projects that he was not familiar with, and additional background presentations would be needed. The fallout of the Vogt-James Committee on JPL-Campus Interactions Final Report (a.k.a. the "Orange Report") is represented with Parts 1 and 2 of "Where to Bite the Orange?" by R. W. Davies, an undated response to the Orange Report. Murray expressed surprise at the response at both JPL and Caltech with the Orange Report in an interoffice memorandum dated May 4, 1976. There was also some concern about the potential loss of the capability to do "in-house" flight projects at JPL. An April 29, 1976 memo from ALD of Technical Divisions Geoff Robillard to the Executive Council noted that after the launching of Voyager, support for JPL's capability to acquire spacecraft by the subsystem contract mode would disappear. Represented in the collection is Robillard's original memo, attached to a May 5, 1976 memo from Murray to the Executive Council addressing the issue. In June 1976, a series of correspondence from Bruce Murray to various scientists, regarding the "out-of-the-ecliptic mission to study the sun and the interplanetary medium in three dimensions," a joint effort between NASA and the European Space Agency. Murray asked for people to be members of the Science Working Group that was being formed, and co-chaired by Lennard Fisk and Marcia Neugebauer. The mission was later named the International Solar Polar Mission, eventually called Ulysses. Throughout the collection there is correspondence from Murray to various scientists, asking for participation in various Science Working Group projects. In January 1977, Murray wrote several people asking for participation in a Mars Science Working Group to be headed by Dr. Tim Mutch of Brown University, with Geoff Briggs of JPL as Acting Project Scientist. This follow-on to the Viking Program was envisioned as an orbiter/rover combination, with a launch in 1984. Letters were sent to 16 scientists. In November 1978, a similar series of correspondence is in the collection, with the formation of the Comet Science Working Group. One example of the "business as usual" type of memoranda that dominates the early years of the collection, as well as serving as a precursor to the future turmoil at JPL, a memorandum dated July 26, 1976, from Deputy Director Terhune to Distribution is titled "Guidelines for Employee Termination." Due to the anticipated reduction in JPL business volume in FY '77 and FY '78, the prospect of a significant number of layoff actions was imminent. The normal outplacement service that was available by Caltech to employees who were facing termination was expanded. An Outplacement Center was established at the Caltech Industrial Relations Center where professional help in career planning, the preparation of resumes, job interview strategy, as well as office space, telephone, secretarial and photocopy services would be available. The terminated personnel were administratively transferred to JPL organization 890, later changed to 090. A letter from Murray to John E. Naugle, NASA Office of the Administrator dated August 27, 1976 was a foreshadowing of later troubles for JPL's Planetary Program. Murray commented on the draft of the NASA Five Year Plan dated August 19, 1976, noting NASA's pessimistic plans for lunar and planetary exploration in future years, along with a lack in any continuation of Mars exploration. Murray concluded the letter by stating that if the budget for lunar and planetary missions was decreased, "I am certain that we can only anticipate an abrupt end to the activity in the near future." In January 1977 Murray agreed to transfer the Ranger Block III spacecraft in storage at JPL to the National Air and Space Museum. This transaction is documented in a letter from Murray to NASM Director Michael Collins. A March 3, 1977 letter from Murray to Caltech Provost Robert F. Christy, Murray comments on how valuable Ed Stone has been as MJS Project Scientist, and how he had unusual ability to effectively organize his and other peoples' efforts. According to Murray, Stone's activities constituted a model of Laboratory-Campus collaboration. In April 1977, Murray wrote to twelve engineers involved in oil production inviting them to serve on a review board to assist JPL with a NASA-sponsored study aimed at identifying possible applications of aerospace technology to petroleum production. This is indicative of the changing priorities at JPL beginning in the late 1970s. In a July 8, 1977 letter from Murray to Noel W. Hinners, NASA Associate Administrator for Space Science, Murray lobbied for a collaboration between the Venus Orbiting Imaging Radar and a French-Soviet Union Joint Mission to Venus, planned for 1983. Attached to the letter was a proposal written by Jacques Blamont of the Centre National de'Etudes Spatiales (CNES). It was proposed that the Venus Orbiting Imaging Radar (VOIR) mission and the Deep Space Network (DSN) be used as a tracking and telemetry radar for a French-Russian Venus balloon mission, while the Russian Orbiter could be used as a relay for VOIR. There were additional occultation and geophysics experiments that could be carried out by both missions as well. In the end, VOIR was cancelled and eventually given a new start as the Venus Radar Mapper, later named Magellan, and the French-Russian balloon mission to Venus became one aspect of the Vega 1 and 2 spacecraft, which encountered Venus on their way to Halley's Comet in 1985. In March 1982, the issue was brought up again, with a proposal of a NASA/CNES launch on Ariane 4. A letter from Murray to Blamont dated March 5, 1982 is represented in the collection. Murray reported that a low altitude balloon with imaging would very seriously strain JPL's technical capabilities, and would probably be rejected by NASA on grounds of technical uncertainty. Additionally, hardware availability posed a problem. The possible use of hardware from the Pioneer Venus mission was proposed, but Hughes Aircraft Company had very little surplus hardware available. In the file for September 1977 is an article published in Science, "Extraterrestrial Intelligence: An Observational Approach," by Bruce Murray, Samuel Gulkis and Robert Edelson. The collection includes the edited version, with a cover letter to Philip Abelson, editor of Science dated September 14, 1977. An October 3, 1977 letter from Murray to General R. H. Curtin, asked him to reconsider a U.S. Army proposal to locate its National Training Center at Ft. Irwin, CA, adjacent to JPL's DSN installation at Goldstone. Murray noted that the use by the relocated center of electronic warfare (EW) devices would have the potential to totally disrupt communications with costly and scientifically important deep space missions. Murray cited the occurrence on October 28, 1976, when 30 to 45 minutes of Viking mission data were lost due to suspected EW jamming. Attached to the letter was a copy of part of a topographical map showing the locations of the DSN facilities at Goldstone in relation to Ft. Irwin. In February 1978, Murray instituted the Distinguished Visiting Scientist program at JPL. The purpose of the program was to bring to the Lab on a short term or part-time basis, leading scientists who would enrich the Laboratory's programs. The first Distinguished Visiting Scientist (DVS) was Giuseppe Colombo of the Astrophysical Observatory at the Smithsonian Institution. A February 7, 1978 interoffice memorandum from Donald G. Rea to Murray noted that the DVS should report managerially to the Director, and should have his own budget and should be accountable only to the Director for the manner in which he spends his funds. The JPL Office of Technology and Space Program Development was assigned responsibility for assuring adequate support. Another attempt at bringing in new people into the Lab was in August 1978, when a proposed postdoctoral program at JPL was proposed by Rochus E. Vogt of Caltech and Moustafa Chahine, Manager of the Earth and Space Sciences Division at JPL. The program was to use recent Ph.D. recipients from universities for limited duration positions for scientists and technologists at JPL. It was argued that the use of postdoctoral positions would provide additional strength, youth, and elements of change and new thinking to the programs of JPL scientists and technologists. It would also potentially be an excellent tool for improved Caltech-JPL interactions, with some postdoctoral fellows to hold joint appointments with the Campus. The collection includes two proposals for postdoctoral programs at JPL, written by Vogt and Chahine, as well as a cover sheet to the JPL Executive Council, written August 10, 1978. An October 16, 1978 letter from Caltech Professor Kip Thorne to Bruce Murray related to Professor Stephen Hawking. Thorne reported that Hawking, who was suffering from a debilitating neurological illness, had reached the point where it had made him nearly incoherent. Thorne asked Murray if there would be a possibility of JPL assisting in designing an amplification and filter system for Hawking's voice. Murray passed the request along to Fred Felberg and Benn Martin. In a November 8, 1978 letter, Murray told Thorne that the problem had been given to Doug O'Handley, manager of JPL's Biomedical Technology Program. In a letter to NASA Chief Scientist John E. Naugle dated January 22, 1979, Murray sketched out a background and history of the NASA-JPL institutional relationship. The various NASA organizations that JPL reported to in the past were noted. There also was a description of the NASA-JPL relationship in 1979, as well as various alternatives for strengthening the NASA-JPL relationship. Earlier in the month there was some effort to organize a joint retreat between JPL personnel and personnel from the NASA Office of Space Science, in order to strengthen relations. There is a February 5, 1980 Memorandum of Understanding between JPL and the World Space Foundation (WSF). JPL agreed to aid and support WSF in conducting a test flight of a solar sailing vehicle. JPL would conduct spacecraft environmental qualification tests in JPL facilities, provide an instrumentation package to monitor the sail, and to provide computer services to the WSF, while the WSF would have complete responsibility for sail vehicle design, fabrication and launch vehicle interface, and would be responsible for mission operations. The MOU was signed by Bruce Murray and Robert L. Staehle of WSF. Two items that illustrate Murray's growing distress of the U.S. space program can be found in letters of April 1980. The first letter, dated April 21, 1980, Murray invited Freeman Dyson to visit JPL and help with solar sail and interstellar propulsion studies. The second letter, written April 23, 1980 to Arthur C. Clarke, Murray wrote: "Back here on Earth, 1980, that wonderful reaching out of the 1960's and 1970's to explore our solar system is faltering badly. Cost overruns and delays of the Space Shuttle have now caused two-year delays (at least) in the launches of the only new authorized missions, Galileo and Solar Polar. For similar reasons, nothing else can get started. I must sadly report that rather than ushering in 'The Promise of Space,' the Shuttle development at this point may constitute the greatest threat to space exploration since President Eisenhower's views and the Vanguard launch vehicle project." Another letter that is indicative of this point of view was written by Clark R. Chapman of the Planetary Science Institute to Thomas A. Mutch, NASA Associate Administrator for Space Science, dated August 4, 1980. Chapman expressed his concerns of plans to make cuts in Research and Analysis in the Planetary Program. Chapman called the idea of a freeze or cut in the Planetary Program due to an arbitrary budget ceiling as short-sighted and irrational. Chapman viewed the idea of gutting the program to win VOIR as "suicidal," and called for support of both VOIR and Halley-Tempel 2 missions. A copy of the letter is represented in the collection, along with a brief note that Chapman wrote to Lou Friedman. On August 14, 1980, Friedman sent copies of the Chapman letter to Bruce Murray and others at JPL. A letter written by Bruce Murray to Counselor to the President Edwin Meese III, dated January 20, 1981, the day of President Reagan's inauguration, began with Murray pulling no punches. "The future of American space exploration is in real jeopardy." Murray lobbied for a new start for a Halley's Comet mission, and a change in policy regarding the development of the Space Shuttle. Another letter indicating Murray's attempts to gain support for the Galileo spacecraft was to Carol Lane, a professional staff member of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Science Technology. Murray's letter described the possible defense technology implications of Galileo, attempting to justify the project by noting the technology that would be gained for Defense. The Voyager Project is barely mentioned in these chronological files until the Voyager 1 flyby of Saturn. On November 21, 1980, a series of form letters were sent to various Directors of NASA Centers and other prominent government officials, such as Secretary of the Air Force Hans Mark, Secretary of Defense Harold Brown, and Presidential Science Advisor Frank Press, enclosing several lithographs of Saturn taken by Voyager 1 during its October flyby. In March 1981, Murray lobbied Acting Associate Administrator for Space Science Andrew J. Stofan to add Carl Sagan in consideration for a Distinguished Public Service Award, for his contributions to Voyager and space exploration in general. On May 8, 1981, Murray notified Sagan that he was selected to receive NASA's Distinguished Public Service Medal, to be presented at a special Voyager awards ceremony at JPL on June 2, 1981. There was some effort to invite President Ronald Reagan to JPL to personally witness the Voyager 2 encounter with Saturn in August 1981. Included in the collection are details on the Voyager encounter of Saturn that were sent via fax to Science Advisor George Keyworth to pass along to the President. In early August 1981 word was received that the President was not going to attend. Several of his representatives did attend the encounter at JPL, including Counselor to the President Ed Meese. In September 1981, Murray sent copies of lithographs taken of Saturn to several members of Congress who did not attend the Voyager 2 encounter. The increasing role of the Department of Defense in JPL projects is documented in a December 9, 1980 report "Current Status of Defense Work Policies, Organizational Approach, and Work Content at JPL," prepared by Jack James. The potential consequences of increased defense work were explored, and the steps taken by JPL and Caltech to ensure that Defense work size, extent of classification, and appropriateness were controlled and regulated within the framework of Caltech and JPL's policies and interests. The report is represented in the collection as an attachment to the Senoir Staff from Murray, dated December 16, 1980. There is a letter dated August 25, 1981, from Murray to the widow of Thomas Mutch, who died in a mountain climbing accident in the Himalayas in October 1980. Murray sent a collection of photos of Mutch from JPL staff members, and told her of renaming the Viking 1 landing site as the "Thomas A. Mutch Memorial Station." Attempts at lobbying for a Halley's Comet mission continued throughout the Autumn of 1981. One letter in the collection, dated September 11, 1981, is from Murray to Newsweek columnist George F. Will. Will had earlier written in favor of the Halley's Comet mission, and Murray tried to pique his interest further by proposing a mission feature of bringing back a sample of the Comet to Earth. By October 1981, the situation regarding future prospects of JPL was potentially grim. According to Murray in "Challenge Facing JPL," a background paper for Caltech faculty discussion dated October 20, 1981, there were three alternate directions possible for JPL: a continuation of present policies, as a NASA Center with significant DOD work, or as a DOD Laboratory. Murray considered the second possibility the only practical direction for JPL at that time. On November 3, 1981, Murray wrote to NASA Deputy Administrator Hans Mark, reporting that full approval for substantially expanding DOD programs at JPL was granted by the Caltech Administration and Board of Trustees. Despite the impending storm clouds regarding the future of space exploration that were no longer merely on the horizon, Murray organized a workshop of fifteen scientists to stimulate a few good new or renewed ideas about carrying out important science in deep space during the second half of the 1980s. A rough concept paper put together by Murray and James D. Burke, dated November 30, 1981, was included along with cover letters to the invited participants, which included Jacques Blamont, Freeman Dyson, James Van Allen, Von Eshleman and Larry Soderblom. Included in the collection is a copy of a news article dated December 2, 1981 quoting Presidential Science Advisor George Keyworth as recommending that all planetary exploration be cancelled for at least the next decade. Also included are letters from Murray to Arnold Beckman alerting Beckman of this possible disaster, as well as a letter to Keyworth and a draft letter to Ed Meese asking him "not to allow the emasculation of the technical and scientific capabilities of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory." Murray announced his resignation as Director, effective June 30, 1982, at the end of his "State of the Lab" address on April 2, 1982. The remainder of the Chronological File for April 1982 is dominated by letters to people notifying them of his decision. Represented in the collection are slightly over 100 letters to people, including members of Congress, Caltech personnel, NASA personnel, NASA Center Directors, members of the Faculty Board and Oversight Committee for JPL, and other scientists and friends of Murray's. JPL Discreet materials Forty-six folders contain documents that are stamped or marked "JPL Discreet" or "SEB Discreet." The original positions of Discreet material in the collection have been marked with separation sheets. The material has been moved to a box at the end of the collection. The vast majority of Discreet materials in the collection are either Source Evaluation Board memoranda or Noncompetitive Source Board memoranda. These were both pretty common documents, and nearly every month has at least a few Discreet documents. The SEB memoranda are usually from Terhune, while the Noncompetitive Source Board memoranda are from the Manager of the Procurement Division, Daryal T. Gant, to Phil Click, Fred Felberg, and either Robert J. Parks, William Bayley or H. M. Schurmeier. There are a few memoranda that were from Acting Division Manager Fraser Draper, or starting in 1979, Deputy Division Manager John Heie.

Pickering, William H., 1910-2004. William H. Pickering Speech Reference Collection, 1959-1974.

Title: William H. Pickering Speech Reference Collection, 1959-1974.

A majority of the collection consists of secondary reference materials such as journal and magazine articles, press releases, reports, and speeches, presumably gathered for and used by Pickering in his preparation of speeches and articles. Perhaps forty percent of the collection as a whole is correspondence, primarily referring to Pickering's activities in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the National Academy of Engineers. The collection's original organization alphebetically by subject has been retained. The collection was originally composed of a cubic foot of foldered material with subject headings, and two cubic feet of unfoldered items, primarily AIAA and NAE materials, grouped together with rubber bands. All were dated from 1959 to 1974, with bulk dates of 1965 to 1972. The files on the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) document Pickering's activities on the AIAA's Committee for Long-Range Planning, chaired by Edgar M. Cortright, at the time the Director of NASA's Langley Research Center. Pickering was also invloved with the AIAA's Working Group on Philosophy, Science and Technology, with correspondence from James J. Harford, Executive Secretary of AIAA, and Leo Steg, Manager of the Space Sciences Laboratory at General Electric's Space Division. Represented in the collection are a number of folders about the California Museum Foundation. Pickering was on the Board of Trustees of the Foundation, but rarely, if ever, attended Board meetings. He did make a speech, entitled "The Cult of Anti-Science," at the California Museum of Science and Industry in December 1971, which is represented in the collection. Several speeches and papers written by others are represented in the collection, such as a Lee DuBridge article entitled "Policy and the Scientists," written for Foreign Affairs, present in the "Government, Science" folder. Also included in the same folder is an article by Al Hibbs entitled "The Scientific Advisor in Washington." The "Grand Tour" folder includes the JPL Technical Report "The Determination and Characteristics of Ballistic Interplanetary Technology Trajectories Under the Influence of Multiple Planetary Attractions," written by Michael A. Minovitch, dated October 31, 1963. Also included are other reports involving the early concept of what would later become the Voyager missions to the Outer Planets. Pickering also served on the Caltech Institute Administrative Council (IAC), whose duties included determining the hiring and granting of tenure to professors. Three folders of correspondence are devoted to this, along with general correspondence files and reports generated by the IAC. Many of the articles in the collection are from such publications as Science or Scientific American. One example is the 1966 article from Science titled "A Comparison of U.S. and Soviet Efforts to Explore Mars," written by Bruce Murray and Merton E. Davies. Many folders document Pickering's activities in the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), where he was a member of its Committee on Telecommunications. Included is correspondence with Peter C. Goldmark, President and Director of Research at CBS Laboratories. The NAE was also concerned with urban issues, such as environment, transportation, and crime deterrence. Many of the NAE files in the collection are related to such issues. Of note in the files involving the National Academy of Sciences is a series of correspondence and articles involving Nobel laureate William Shockley of Stanford Electronics Laboratories. Shockley postulated a theory that intelligence and mental health were determined more by heredity than environment. He urged for research along the same lines within inner-city slums. Needless to say, this proved to be very controversial. Represented in the folder is a letter from Shockley to members of the National Academy of Sciences attempting to gain support for a resolution he was proposing to urge further study. Included are several attachments to the letter, including parts of journal articles, other correspondence and copies of newspaper articles. Also included are various articles that were entered into the Congressional Record by Representative Charles S. Gubser, Shockley's representative in Congress. The folder titled "Progress in Space" contains several interesting items. There is a report titled "Why Can't the U.S. Match Russian Achievements in Space," dated November 10, 1959, written by Jack N. James. There are several other newspaper articles and entries in the Congressional Record, as well as a speech given by MIT professor H. Guyford Stever entitled "The Future of Aeronautics in the United States," dated January 27, 1965. There are also speeches by NASA Administrator James E. Webb and Edward C. Welsh, Executive Secretary of the National Aeronautics and Space Council, both in 1964. There is also a short reprint from Leonardo, written by Frank J. Malina, dated 1969. The file labeled "Russian Space Programs" includes a translation from an article in Pravda in 1960 that gave a Russian gain of 240-1 against the United States in the weight of the "artificial planets" that had been launched. Also in the file are copies of newspaper articles reporting Pickering's remarks regarding the Russian space program at the World Newspaper Forum in October 1960. The "Space Shuttle" folder includes a fact sheet and a statement from NASA Administrator James C. Fletcher involving the Shuttle program. The documents are undated but probably were created in 1972, soon after when the Shuttle gained Presidential endorsement and Congressional approval.

John J. McCloy (AC 1916) Papers

Title: John J. McCloy (AC 1916) Papers

The John J. McCloy Papers span the years 1897-1989, with the bulk of the material falling into the period 1940-1979. The roughly 74 linear feet of material cover the breadth of McCloy's activities, from lawyer to banker to government official to negotiator to behind-the-scenes adviser. The papers include working papers, correspondence and memoranda, speeches, scrapbooks, photographs, legal documents, printed material, and memorabilia. The collection includes very little personal or family-related material. The first 6 series consist of materials, grouped by topic or type, that span much or all of McCloy's public career: Personal Affairs, Diaries, Scrapbooks, Speeches, Awards, and Photographs. The next 25 series consist of "working papers," divided according to McCloy's various positions, roles, and areas of influence. Series 32 consists of printed material of a general nature. (Printed material related to a given position is included in the relevant series.) Series 33: Correspondence and Series 34: Retrospectives contain unofficial correspondence and biographical material, which arrived as part of the second installment to the Papers. More detailed description can be found at the series level. Series-level scope and content notes include: historical and biographical information; series and sub-series arrangement; subject matters and formats, and a box/folder listing.

Pickering, William H., 1910-2004. William H. Pickering Office File Collection, 1955-1976.

Title: William H. Pickering Office File Collection, 1955-1976.

The collection consists primarily of correspondence, although memoranda, notes, pamphlets, copies of newspaper, magazine and journal articles, transcripts of speeches, press releases and photographs are also present. The collection is arranged in its original order, organized by numerical filing number. Each category can be considered a series or sub-series. These are: Lab Visits, including Congressional visits; Special Events; General Correspondence, including invitations and requests; Awards and Commendations; JPL Correspondence, including biographies, history, minority affairs and annual reports; Foreign Travel Logs; and Outgoing Correspondence Files. Each series or sub-series has been arranged in chronological order unless otherwise noted. The date span of the collection is 1955 to 1976, with bulk dates of 1964 to 1975. The earliest document in the collection is biographical information of Pickering dated 1955. Lab Visits (boxes 1-4, folders 1-95). This series documents visits to the Lab by VIPs and others. Included in most files is a schedule of events as well as correspondence prior and subsequent to the visit or tour. In several cases photographs documenting the visit are in the collection. This is true in the case of the visits of Princess Margaret, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, the royal family of Thailand, and Gemini and Apollo astronaut Frank Borman, among others. In some cases, a thumbnail biography is present as well. In the case of the royal family of Thailand, there is a brief sketch of each member of the royal retinue, along with a pronunciation guide of names and the correct way to address each person. In the case of Princess Margaret, a script with Pickering's remarks, along with a guide to protocol, is represented in the collection. In a few cases, there is documentation of a possible visit that was ultimately cancelled. President Lyndon B. Johnson was scheduled to visit the Lab in 1966 but ultimately cancelled, and writer Arthur C. Clarke had wanted to visit the Lab in 1973 but he could not work it out in his schedule. Congressman Ken Hechler, ranking Republican on the House Committee on Science and Astronautics, was scheduled to make a visit on January 30, 1967, but the visit was cancelled, undoubtedly due to the Apollo 1 fire on January 27, 1967. The series is divided into a sub-series of Congressional visits. The visits of members of Congress were primarily those serving on the House Committee on Science and Astronautics, chaired during the time period by George P. Miller (D-CA) from 1961 to 1973, and Olin E. Teague (D-TX) from 1973 to 1979. Making frequent visits to JPL were Miller, Teague, Ken Hechler (R-WV), Charles A. Mosher (R-OH, ranking Republican from 1971 to 1977), George E. Brown, Jr. (D-CA), Joseph E. Karth (D-MN), and Emilio Q. Daddario (D-CT). Other Congressmen making visits to the lab were Donald E. Lukens (R-OH) and H. Allen Smith (D-CA). Also making periodic visits were staff members from the Senate Committee on Aeronautical and Space Sciences, chaired by Clinton P. Anderson (D-NM). Special Events (Boxes 4-7, folders 96-175). Represented in the series are memoranda and correspondence pertaining to events of a special occasion that occurred on-lab or involved key Laboratory personnel. The series is organized chronologically by the event date, although in most cases the date span of the file begins prior to the date of the event and ends after the event. The series is primarily composed of correspondence, but also include schedules, attendance lists, press releases and photographs. Included are two folders involving the Presidential Inauguration of Lyndon B. Johnson on January 20, 1965. Vicki Melikan was Chair of the Inaugural Parade Distinguished Visitors Committee. Included in one folder is a list of State Governors and State Democratic Party Chairmen, along with a list of staff on the Inaugural Parade Committee. A second folder contains a badge and ribbon commemorating the occasion. Professional meetings, held at JPL and elsewhere are represented in the series. Most of items are comprised of correspondence and events programs. Some files have photographs included, such as the 1966 Goddard Memorial Award Dinner. Pickering, the recipient of the 1965 Goddard Award, was present to present the 1966 award to President Lyndon B. Johnson. The dedication of the 210-foot antenna at Goldstone, CA ("Mars Station") is represented in the collection in three files. Planning for the dedication began seven months before the event. Included are suggested topics for the dedication, preliminary guest lists, invitation lists, background information on Goldstone and the Deep Space Network, and correspondence. One file is comprised of speeches delivered by Pickering and Congressman George P. Miller at the dedication. Spacecraft launchings, as well as planetary and lunar encounters are also represented in the collection. The first encounters in the collection, Surveyor 1 in 1966, Surveyor 5 in 1967, and Mariner 5 in 1967, were relatively low-key affairs, with representatives from JPL, Caltech, NASA and Congress, as well as various subcontractors being invited. The invitation list to celebrate a planetary encounter at JPL was extended beyond JPL-Caltech-NASA with Mariner 10. People unconnected to the mission such as Harold Urey, Ray Bradbury and Danny Kaye were invited and attended one or more of the planetary encounters of Mariner 10. Others, such as Ford Motor's President Lee Iacocca and California Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke were invited but sent their regrets. Mariner 10 was also honored by the U.S. Postal Service with a commemorative stamp, unveiled at JPL on April 4, 1975. Also represented are correspondence relating to retirements of people and gifts presented to or from JPL. Ansel Adams presented a signed photograph of Half Dome at Yosemite with the full moon behind it to JPL. The correspondence series includes a postcard written and signed by Adams. The photograph was displayed in Building 183. After the mission of Mariner 9, a 16-inch globe of Mars was manufactured and distributed to select individuals. Select JPL personnel as well as scientists were sent globes, as well as Congressmen and other VIPs, such as Arthur C. Clarke and Ray Bradbury. Included in the series is a file comprised of lists of individuals sent the globe and thank you letters that were received. Among the retirements represented in the collection are Robert D. Fletcher, Chief Scientist of the USAF Air Weather Service; Eberhardt Rees, Director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center; and John D. Phillips, Pasadena City Manager. Notice of the death of Viking scientist Wolf D. Vishniac in Antarctica is also represented in the series. Correspondence (Boxes 7-11, folders 176-211). This is a general correspondence series. It is split into several sub-series, including miscellaneous correspondence, autograph and biography requests, requests for articles and speeches, and miscellaneous invitations and requests. There were many letters of unsolicited requests from people claiming to have breakthroughs in new propulsion systems or a new theory explaining the formation of the solar system or a new type of airplane. Very often the people inquired about possible job opportunities. Pickering courteously answered most of these letters, often referring them to people at NASA headquarters. Another common type of request was from people who collected autographed covers of Time requesting Dr. Pickering's autograph. Dr. Pickering was a popular speaker, and gave many speeches. Some of the correspondence associated with speeches and reprints of articles are also in the series. 3.4 - Awards and Commendations (Boxes 11-12; folders 212-248). The series is predominantly composed of correspondence, either notifications of honors or letters of congratulations. The series is arranged chronologically, with one folder of miscellaneous awards and commendations at the beginning for single pieces of correspondence. Also included in the series are two folders of biographies of Pickering that could be used whenever requested. Also in the series is a folder of entries of Pickering's biography from various "Who's Who" editions. 4 - JPL Activities and Correspondence (Boxes 12-16; folders 249-295). This series is predominantly composed of correspondence. Also included are pamphlets, brochures, and memoranda. The series is sub-divided into various sub-series: correspondence, biographies, community relations, history, and miscellaneous. All sub-divisions are illustrative of the original order of the collection. There are several files documenting alternate fuel issues during the early 1970s. A "clean air" car race was held in 1970, with entries from JPL, MIT, and several other colleges. Forty-eight entries participated in the race, starting at MIT and ending at Caltech. Cars were judged on emission performance and thermal efficiency, among other factors. The race team for Caltech/JPL included mainly undergraduate and graduate students, along with JPL'er Mahlon Easterling, acting as a Caltech visiting professor of applied science. Also included in the series is a sub-series of short biographies of selected management personnel written by the Public Information Office for use in press releases. The file is organized alphabetically by last name. The Von Kármán Seminar was held on May 12, 1965, what would have been the 83rd birthday of Theodore von Kármán, who had died in 1963. Making addresses at the seminar included Wernher von Braun, Andrew G. Haley, Congressman George P. Miller and United States Air Force General Bernard A. Schriever. Included in the file are alternate schedules, seating charts for the banquet, transcripts of Pickering's introduction of von Braun and transcripts of von Braun's and Miller's speeches. There also is a file devoted to a biography and bibliography of Chinese rocketry pioneer and Caltech professor H. S. Tsien, as well as two other Chinese scientists with connections to Caltech, Chao Chung-yao and Chien Wei-chang, known at Caltech as Jimmy Chien. The file also includes copies of secondary sources about Tsien, including a chapter from von Kármán's autobiography The Wind and Beyond, and "The Bitter Tea of Dr. Tsien," by Milton Viorst, published in Esquire in 1967. The sub-series identified as "JPL History" is composed primarily of historian's activities reports, filed by R. Cargill Hall during his research of the Ranger Program, ultimately published as Lunar Impact: A History of Project Ranger (NASA SP-4210, 1977). The monthly reports document the Ranger history, as well as the JPL history written by Clayton R. Koppes under supervision of Caltech Professor Daniel J. Kevles, as well as other historical activity, and visitors. The reports are from October 1973 to February 1976. Also included in the sub-series is a file regarding a pre-emptive name change of the Lab to the "H. Allen Smith Jet Propulsion Laboratory" in October 1972. Smith was an eight-term Congressman who was not seeking reelection. Section 11 of H.R. 16645, amending the Public Buildings Act of 1959, officially renamed JPL after Congressman Smith. Neither Caltech, JPL nor NASA were notified of the name change until a press release was issued by Smith's office. Reactions to the name change at JPL were highly negative, as most heard of it for the first time as a new sign was put into place. The situation was ultimately resolved when the Caltech Board of Trustees formally designated JPL as the "Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology." Smith officially dropped his approval of the name change, the sign was taken down and the whole matter was apparently forgotten. Also of note in the collection is correspondence from Carl Sagan to William H. Pickering, dated July 12, 1973, where Sagan suggests Professor Von R. Eshleman of Stanford University as a potential successor for Pickering as JPL Director. There is another sub-series entitled "Miscellaneous" that includes items that did not fit easily into any other place. Included are four files dealing with the Caltech Management Club, which include photographs from a dinner banquet in honor of Caltech President Lee A. DuBridge, and an address by Air Force General Bernard A. Schriever. Also included in the series is a file relating to research scientist Robert T. Brinkmann, who had delivered a report of his research at a foreign conference without proper clearance. The clearance was, through administrative error, neither granted nor approved. Brinkmann submitted for clearance a manuscript of his talk in preparation for publishing in a French journal. The clearance was not given, and Brinkmann, no longer an employee, wrote to NASA Administrator Thomas O. Paine about the whole matter. Also of note is a curious file about Pickering being wooed by Yuni, a counter-culture organization who attempted to recruit ten prominent individuals to come together to solve America's most pressing problems. Among the individuals named were Walter Cronkite, Bill Cosby, Buckminster Fuller, Simon Ramo, and William H. Pickering. The organization paid for a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times, and urged people to send postcards to the individuals named in an effort to persuade them to participate. The organization resurfaced briefly in 1972, with a similar scheme, but did not receive nearly as much publicity as their first attempt. Most of the individuals named in both groups, Pickering included, seemed to have basically ignored the group. Included in the file are newspaper clippings, press releases, correspondence, and postcards all involving the organization. 4.10 Minority/Ethnic Affairs (Boxes 16-17; folders 296-311). This sub-series primarily documents the activities of the Employee Committee, and its successors the Employee Ethnic Advisory Committee (EEAC) and the Advisory Committee on Minority Affairs (ACMA). The Employee Ethnic Advisory Committee was reorganized from the old Employee Committee on October 29, 1969, with a revised charter. James King, Jr. was appointed Chairman. The previous Employee Committee was started in July 1968, with Walter H. Padgham as Chairman. The EEAC changed its name to the Advisory Committee on Minority Affairs (ACMA) in March 1972. James King continued as Chairman of ACMA. Also included in the series are progress reports involving the Affirmative Action Program, and Women's Equity Action League. 4.11 Annual Reports/Five-Year Plans (Boxes 17-18; folders 312-317). This short sub-series includes JPL's contributions to the Caltech Annual Presidents Reports from 1964-1974, and two five-year plans released by JPL in 1970 and 1974. Foreign Travel Log Sheets/Visit Reports (Box 18; folders 319-324). There were two series in the collection that were not given a numerical classification. The Foreign Travel Log Sheets/Visit Reports were one of the two. The foreign travel log sheets were divided into programmatic and non-programmatic travel. The authorization forms documented the purpose of the trip, the destination and departure and arrival dates, along with signatures of approval. The original order of the programmatic travel forms was alphabetical, and this order has been maintained. Two programs were singled out with their own folders, the Concorde and Helios. In 1972-73, JPL personnel conducted experiments with an interferometer to measure several stratospheric trace constituents in the atmosphere from the Concorde supersonic airplane. Seven employees traveled to Toulouse, France and Fairford, England. Additionally, in 1973 several people traveled to West Germany for support of the Helios Solar Probe Project. Travel by employees for nonprogrammatic reasons were documented in a separate folder, organized chronologically. Nonprogrammatic travel included delivering papers at symposia held outside the United States. Outgoing Correspondence (Boxes 18-19; folders 325-336). The Outgoing Correspondence file was another part of the collection that was not given a numerical classification as a whole yet was kept yearly as one unit. The series is composed almost entirely as copies (blue-colored) of outgoing correspondence, either from William Pickering or Vickie Melikan. The correspondence is arranged chronologically, with two exceptions. Two events that occurred in 1968 generated enough correspondence that it was decided to given them each a file. The first event was the Tenth Anniversary of the launching of Explorer 1. A technical symposium was held at Caltech's Beckman Auditorium on February 1, 1968. People invited to participate or attend were Homer E. Newell, James A. Van Allen, General James M. Gavin, and Dwight D. Eisenhower, among others. On October 31, 1968, there was a ceremony commemorating the GALCIT rocket motor experiments of 1936. A plaque was unveiled outside the Von Kármán Auditorium. Invited to attend were Frank J. Malina, Apollo M.O. Smith, Carlos Wood, Edward Forman, William Bollay, William C. Rockefeller, Beverley Forman, Walt Powell, Martin Summerfield, Homer J. Stewart, and Val Larsen, among others. Seven folders contain documents that are stamped or marked "JPL Discreet." Whole folders that are discreet are noted in the folder list. The original positions of JPL Discreet material in the collection have been marked with separation sheets. The material has been moved to a box at the end of the collection. Included in the Discreet information is a file pertaining to the Hibbs Ad Hoc Advisory Committee, created by Pickering on February 26, 1964. The committee was composed of Al Hibbs, Frank Colella, Barney Huber, Vicki Melikan and Richard R. Wilford. It was to look into the Laboratory's problems with NASA management and Caltech in the aftermath of several Ranger failures.

Pickering, William H., 1910-2004. William H. Pickering Speech Collection, 1955-1975.

Title: William H. Pickering Speech Collection, 1955-1975.

The collection consists of rough drafts and transcripts of speeches delivered by Pickering, along with related correspondence, and speeches and articles written by others that were of interest to Pickering. The collection is arranged in its original order: chronologically by date of speech or published article. The items include correspondence, memoranda, photographs, journal articles, newspaper clippings, transcripts of press conferences, rough drafts of speeches and transcripts of speeches. Speeches Delivered by Pickering (Boxes 1-11, folders 1-253). The folders include correspondence pertaining to the speech, any rough drafts, including hand-written drafts, any drafts of the speech that were different from previous drafts, a transcript of the speech as given, and in many cases, an "official" version of the speech. If the speech were published in a journal, copies of the journal article are also included. The date span of Pickering's speeches in the collection is 1955-1975, with bulk dates of 1958-1970. At the beginning of the collection is an index of Pickering's speech appearances from 1955 to 1968. The list is useful as a locating aid, although in some places the dates of speeches are incorrect. Not every speech is represented with a transcript or draft. A few were repeats of speeches that Pickering had made earlier, and some had no written script. The titles of the speeches represented in the collection are noted in the folder list. Pickering did repeat a few of his speeches to different groups. One example of this was Pickering's speech on the "Grand Tour" mission that eventually resulted in the Voyager project. The materials with the November 1969 Grand Tour speech that Pickering made for the Society of Sigma Xi included transparencies, a 1966 journal article by Gary Flandro, and several preliminary drafts of the speech. The speech was repeated at the University of Tennessee Space Institute in January 1970, and the Harvard Society of California in April 1970. Also included in the series are transcripts of press conferences and television and radio interviews of Pickering. Two press conferences are represented, regarding Pioneer 3 in 1958 and Mariner 5 in 1967. Pickering did several interviews for American and British television, and they are represented in the series. Several of the files contain photographs, either representing Pickering's talk or copies of slides that Pickering showed. One example is the speech "From Nebula to Man: Seeking the Ultimate Answers," given by Pickering in 1970, which includes 20 lithographs of slides used in the presentation. Pickering did a fair amount of world travel publicizing the Lab and space exploration. On at least two occasions he traveled back to his native land of New Zealand; correspondence and documentation relating to these trips are represented in the series. Pickering also made a few speeches in conjunction with the Apollo 11 Spacecraft and Lunar Rock Mobile Exhibit. The exhibit traveled to all the State Capitols of the continental U.S. from April 1970 to March 1971, as well as Hawaii and Alaska in April and May 1971. Exhibits on display included the Apollo 11 Command Module, a Moon rock, Apollo 11 space suits, and various art depicting the Apollo 11 mission. The NASA-sponsored display started and finished in Glendale, California. Pickering delivered speeches at Carson City, Nevada and Boise, Idaho, at the same time the exhibit was on display. In some cases, newspaper clippings publicizing an event that Pickering spoke at are in the collection. One example of this is Pickering's speech at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, held in Chicago in December 1970. The person introducing Pickering was interrupted by hecklers, although the situation was quickly diffused. The Los Angeles Times later reported, "Youths Boo Pickering's Talk on Mars," which was a double mistake, as Pickering himself was not interrupted, and his talk was not on Mars. Pickering wrote to a USC professor that he had stayed and answered questions from dissenters for twenty minutes after the initial question period, and that apart from the initial few hecklers, the demonstrators were well behaved. Speeches Delivered by Others (Boxes 12-15; folders 254-390). Pickering collected articles written by others and transcripts of speeches delivered by others. The span dates of the series are from 1958-1975, with a bulk date of 1963-1970. While the bulk of the series consists of articles written by JPL personnel, Pickering also collected speeches by other people. Also included are speeches and articles written by key NASA personnel such as NASA Administrators James E. Webb, Thomas O. Paine and James C. Fletcher and NASA Deputy Administrators Robert C. Seamans and George M. Low. Caltech president Lee A. DuBridge is also represented in the series with several speeches and articles. DuBridge's successor at Caltech, Harold Brown, is also represented in the collection with a speech. Additionally, there are several speeches regarding the space program delivered by members of Congress. These individuals include: George P. Miller, (D-CA), U.S. House 1945-73; Member, Committee on Science and Astronautics, 1959-73; Chair, 1961-73; Joseph E. Karth, (D-MN), U.S. House 1959-77; Member, Committee on Science and Astronautics, 1959-71; Chair, Subcommittee on Space Science and Applications, 1959-71; Emilio Q. Daddario (D- CT), U.S. House 1959-71; Member, Committee on Science and Astronautics; Margaret Chase Smith (R-ME), U.S. Senate 1949-73, ranking Republican on Aeronautical and Space Sciences Committee 1967-73; Walter F. Mondale (D-MN) U.S. Senate 1965-76, Vice President 1977-81; Frank E. Moss (D- UT) U.S. Senate 1959-77, Chair, Committee on Aeronautical and Space Sciences 1973-77; John V. Tunney (R-CA) U.S. House 1965-71; U.S. Senate 1971-77; Hubert H. Humphrey (D-MN), U.S. Senate 1949-64, 71-78; Vice President 1965-69. Several of these speeches are in the form of testimony in the Congressional Record. One example from 1970 is testimony from James A. Van Allen of the State University of Iowa, Thomas Gold of Cornell University, and U.S. Senator Walter F. Mondale, regarding the proposed Space Shuttle.

Title: John J. McCloy (AC 1916) Papers

The John J. McCloy Papers span the years 1897-1989, with the bulk of the material falling into the period 1940-1979. The roughly 74 linear feet of material cover the breadth of McCloy's activities, from lawyer to banker to government official to negotiator to behind-the-scenes adviser. The papers include working papers, correspondence and memoranda, speeches, scrapbooks, photographs, legal documents, printed material, and memorabilia. The collection includes very little personal or family-related material. The first 6 series consist of materials, grouped by topic or type, that span much or all of McCloy's public career: Personal Affairs, Diaries, Scrapbooks, Speeches, Awards, and Photographs. The next 25 series consist of "working papers," divided according to McCloy's various positions, roles, and areas of influence. Series 32 consists of printed material of a general nature. (Printed material related to a given position is included in the relevant series.) Series 33: Correspondence and Series 34: Retrospectives contain unofficial correspondence and biographical material, which arrived as part of the second installment to the Papers. More detailed description can be found at the series level. Series-level scope and content notes include: historical and biographical information; series and sub-series arrangement; subject matters and formats, and a box/folder listing.
