Recordings of Elliot Richardson, cabinet official during the administrations of U.S. presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter. He served as secretary of health, education, welfare (1970-1973), secretary of defense (Jan. to May 1973), attorney general (May to Oct. 1973), and secretary of commerce in 1976 and 1977. The bulk of the recordings center around two events in Mr. Richardson's career. Illustrating his first attempt at elected office in 1962 as he ran against Edward Brooke for the position of attorney general of Massachusetts are fifty-six dictation discs. Other than a few miscellaneous recordings, the rest of the audio materials center around Mr. Richardson's public speaking tour launched in 1974 after his abrupt resignation as attorney general of the United States for refusing to fire Archiblad Cox, the Justice Department's chief prosecutor in the investigation of the Watergate scandal.
