The Institute for Public Representation (INSPIRE, now IPR) is a public interest law firm and clinical education program founded by Georgetown University Law Center in 1971. In 1976, INSPIRE published a study on the history of commissioners' appointments to the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission, examining regulatory appointments over 25 years and five administrations. One part of the collection includes materials copied from the files of the Senate Committee on Commerce at the National Archives, the House Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee, the Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy Presidential Libraries, the papers of columnist Drew Pearson, and the papers of Senator Estes Kefauver. Records documenting the efforts by INSPIRE to produce their report make up the other part of the collection. The collection contains published and unpublished information on the men and women appointed to the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission from 1949 to 1974, including Joseph Califano, Benjamin Hooks, Nicholas Johnson, Newton Minow, and Caspar Weinberger. Inclusive dates for the INSPIRE Records span from 1935 to 1976, although the bulk of the material dates from 1973 to 1976. Types of documents include correspondence, manuscript notes, written interviews, maps, graphs, photographs, charts, and transcripts of 39 oral interviews. 53 audio tape cassettes make up part of the collection but are stored separately with the Library of American Broadcasting Audio Tape Collection.
