Richard B. Russell Jr. Collection, Subgroup C, Series XVIII : Exhibit B, 1930-1971.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/709609042

The collection contains, with the exception of family correspondence and some incoming correspondence, documents created primarily by Russell and his office staff. The general subject matter includes such topics as national defense, foreign policy, Vietnam, federal judgeships, the Warren Commission, office matters, legislation, and family affairs. The more significant documents in this series are handwritten notes and dictated transcripts by Russell in which he described or related high level government meetings or presidential conversations. These documents, while giving Russell's perspectives, reveal the senator's role in key historical events and his status as advisor and confidant to presidents as well as provide insight into the nature of the meetings and personalities involved.
