Scott, Hugh, 1900-1994. Papers of Hugh Scott, 1965-1987.

Title: Papers of Hugh Scott, 1965-1987.

Papers assembled by Richard W. Murphy, legislative assistant to Senator Scott, 1964-1969, which "shed light on the senator's political philosophy as a leading moderate Republican of his era." The papers, many of which are copies, contain correspondence from other Republican legislators regarding Scott's support and political stances. Of interest are letters concerning a disagreement with Barry Goldwater on moderation and the rebuilding of the Republican Party in 1965 generated by a speech Scott gave at the California Republican League Convention in December 1964, a copy of which is included. The collection also contains Murphy's reminiscences of Scott for inclusion in a projected book by Lauren B. Meiswinkel; a copy of photograph of the George W. Bush family in 1987 together with a letter to Scott very briefly referring to the upcoming 1988 presidential election; and several examples of Scott's wit taken from the pages of the "Congressional Record," "Will the gentleman yield? the Congressional Record humor book," and "From bussing to bugging: the best in congressional humor." Correspondents include George Bush, Paul B. Dague, Barry Goldwater, George A. Goodling, and Denison Kitchel.
