The Development of the White House Office, 1939-1967
by Alex B. Lacy, Jr.
A 1967 American Political Science Association paper by Alex B. Lacy, Jr. of the University of Virginia, preserved in the Nixon Library's White House Special Files. Drawing on interviews with the men who served, it traces the White House Office from the Brownlow Committee through Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson: who the staff were, how each President organized them, and what the growth of the staff did to the Presidency. 28 short readings, with the paper's five statistical tables.
