Archibald S. Alexander Papers 1939-1979, bulk 1969-1979

A lawyer and government official of Bernardsville, Somerset County, New Jersey, Archibald S. Alexander was graduated from Princeton University in 1928 and received a law degree from Harvard University in 1931. He worked for a New York City law firm until 1949, rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel while serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, served as Assistant Secretary of the Army, 1949-1950, and as Under Secretary of the Army, 1950-1952. Among his other activities, he was president of the Free Europe Committee, 1959-1963, before working for the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, 1963-1969, as its assistant director. Alexander's papers primarily relate to his involvement, after his retirement, with arms control groups, educational institutions and public service organizations, but also include scattered earlier documentation. Included are correspondence, agendas and minutes, budgets, drafts of articles, working papers and reports, memoranda, transcripts of meetings, press clippings, photographs, printed matter, and other papers. The several organizations most heavily represented are the Arms Control Association, Citizens' Research Foundation, Gateway National Recreation Area Advisory Commission and Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.
