Papers, 1924-1982 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/232006978

Except for papers written at Smith College, the earliest material chronicles Oettinger's activities in Scranton, including her efforts to add mental health training to nursing programs and her work with the WPA Nursery Schools. Material relating to the Pennsylvania Department of Welfare and Boston University is sketchy; her tenure at the Children's Bureau and HEW is documented by speeches, articles, conference programs, news releases, clippings, and photographs, but little correspondence. Her work as a consultant is represented largely by conference programs and reports.

In March 1972 President Richard Nixon called for an "intensive study" and requested a plan for developing a "safe, fast, and efficient nationwide blood collection and distribution system."

The primary aim of the policy was to eliminate the nation's dependence on an oft-con...
