General reference files of Presidential Assistant Les Finnegan, 1942-1965 (bulk 1949-1960).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122510566

Finnegan generated and organized voluminous reference files in his capacity as Carey's principal research assistant and speech writer. Consisting largely of newsclippings, excerpted articles and publications, releases, reports, and bulletins, these files provided essential research and reference material for inclusion in Carey's speeches, statements, and position papers, and various IUE reports on economic, collective bargaining, and legislative issues confronting the union. Contextual correspondence and memoranda, interspersed within the files, chronicle the acquisition and use of the reference material. This series contains administrative correspondence and agenda pertaining to IUE convention arrangements (1950-1954) and the IUE's First Biennial Economic Policy Conference (1955). A small quantity of national office records, Executive Board Committee Reports (1951-1955), local and district records (1960), and personal staff records (1949-1954) are filed under the heading "IUE." The reference files comprising the second chronological grouping are less extensive both in scope and quantity.
