The Personal Papers of Sargent Shriver (1915- )
Biographical Note
Robert Sargent Shriver was born on November 9, 1915 in Westminster, Maryland to Robert and Hilda Shriver. After graduating from the Canterbury School in New Milford, Connecticut, which he attended on a full scholarship, Shriver spent the summer in Germany as part of the Experiment in International Living, returning in the fall of 1934 to begin college at Yale University. By his sophomore year, despite financial difficulties, Shriver became the senior editor for the
Yale Daily News.
The following summer, Shriver was once again invited to participate in the Experiment for International Living, but this time as a leader of a small group of students. Shriver graduated from Yale in 1938 and, with the help of scholarships, family, and friends, enrolled in Yale Law School.
Shriver maintained a link to the Experiment for International Living while in law school, and he led a third group of students to France in the summer of 1939, when World War II was just beginning. Back at Yale, he enlisted in a summer program in the Navy and, at the same time, protested actively against America’s involvement in the war. After he graduated law school in 1941, he reported to duty in the Navy and was assigned to a new battleship, the
South Dakota.
Shriver served as a gunner in two large battles during 1942: the Battle of Santa Cruz and the Battle of Guadalcanal. Shriver next trained as a submariner, and on 13 March 1945 he was given the assignment of gunnery and torpedo officer on the USS
Sandlance.
After the war, Shriver returned to New York City, working briefly at the law firm of Winthrop, Stimson before becoming an assistant editor at
Newsweek.
It was during this time that Shriver first met Eunice Kennedy and began working for Joseph P. Kennedy at JPK Enterprises in Manhattan. Soon afterward, Shriver moved to Chicago to become the assistant general manager of the Merchandise Mart for Joseph Kennedy. In 1947 he moved to Washington, D.C. to help Eunice Kennedy on the National Conference on Prevention and Control of Juvenile Delinquency. A little less than a year passed before Shriver returned to Chicago to resume work at the Merchandise Mart.
Shriver married Eunice Kennedy on 23 May 1953. The wedding took place at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, with Cardinal Spellman, a Kennedy family friend, officiating. The couple settled in Chicago, and in 1955 Shriver began directing both the Catholic Interracial Council, an organization established for the desegregation of schools, and the Chicago Board of Education. In 1960, Shriver coordinated the Wisconsin and West Virginia primaries for John F. Kennedy’s Presidential Campaign. When Kennedy was elected, Shriver was asked to direct the Talent Hunt committee to research and find appropriate candidates for top administrative and ambassadorial positions.
John F. Kennedy’s election led to what would become one of Shriver’s most important and long-lasting accomplishments, the creation of the Peace Corps. The idea for the Peace Corps originated with two speeches that John F. Kennedy gave on the campaign trail. At the University of Michigan, Kennedy introduced the idea of a youth service corps for college students. Months later, Kennedy solidified his ideas about the service corps and made it a major campaign pledge. Shriver was asked to work on a report about the feasibility of a volunteer corps that would work on projects in other countries. Shortly after receiving the report, Kennedy signed the executive order establishing the Peace Corps (Executive Order 10924). Shriver served as the Director of the Peace Corps from 1961 to 1966. During his tenure as director, Shriver traveled around the United States giving speeches about the Peace Corps in many different contexts: graduation ceremonies, honorary doctoral ceremonies, political meetings, and economic councils. Shriver also made oversea trips to Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Germany to review Peace Corps work being done in those countries and to make new connections for future programs.
After President Kennedy’s death on 22 November 1963, Shriver continued directing the Peace Corps while also helping to launch President Johnson’s new War on Poverty. Though there was talk that this work would result in a vice-presidential bid for Shriver in the 1964 presidential election, President Johnson chose Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey as his running mate instead. On 20 August 1964, Johnson signed the Office of Economic Opportunity Act which would eventually provide job training, work study programs, loans and grants to poor farmers, and a domestic volunteer service that cooperated with local governments and communities. After having spent months laying the groundwork for the O.E.O., Shriver became the agency’s first director. The O.E.O. was quickly dubbed the domestic Peace Corps, and branched into many different programs including Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), Community Action Program (CAP), Job Corps, Head Start, and the Neighborhood Youth corps. Shriver traveled extensively throughout the country giving speeches, visiting various communities where poverty programs were in place, and encouraging others to join the War on Poverty. He resigned as Director of the O.E.O. on 12 April 1968.
On 7 May 1968, Shriver was sworn in as the U.S. ambassador to France. His job in Paris was not expected to be an easy one, as American relations with France, and specifically with French President Charles de Gaulle, had grown increasingly strained throughout the decade. President de Gaulle had established diplomatic relations with communist China in 1964, withdrawn from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) integrated military organization in 1966, publicly denounced the American war in Vietnam in 1967, and encouraged French-Canadian separatists in 1968. The United States, for their part, had consistently refused to aid France in its pursuit to become a nuclear power. The domestic situation in France proved to be difficult as well; upon his arrival in Paris Shriver encountered a severe domestic crisis involving nationwide strikes and student unrest. Despite these obstacles, Shriver and de Gaulle established a working friendship, and the Shriver family became popular and often-publicized members of Paris society. Franco-American relations began to thaw as a result of this friendship, and were furthered when de Gaulle was succeeded by his former Prime Minister Georges Pompidou in 1969. As Ambassador, Shriver was peripherally involved in the Paris Peace Talks which began in 1968 between the United States and Vietnamese officials. He also oversaw President Richard Nixon’s visit to Paris in 1969, which marked the first American state visit to France since 1961, as well as President Pompidou’s state visit to Washington, D.C. in March 1970. Despite his success as Ambassador and his family’s apparent contentment with life in Paris, Sargent Shriver’s thoughts and ambitions were never far from the political scene back in the United States. His correspondence with friends and colleagues touched on various political possibilities, including the 1968 Democratic vice presidential nomination, a nomination for Ambassador to the United Nations, a run for the governorship of Maryland, and Shriver’s consistently strong political potential in Illinois. This period was also marked by Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s organization of the First International Special Olympic Games, held in July 1968 in Chicago, and the assassination of Shriver’s brother-in-law, Robert F. Kennedy, less than a month after the Shrivers’ arrival in Paris.
Upon his return from France in 1970, Shriver founded the Congressional Leadership for the Future (CLF). The CLF functioned as an independent organization separate from the Democratic National Committee, with Shriver serving as the Chairman. The CLF campaigned on behalf of Democratic candidates throughout the country for the November 1970 Congressional races. Shriver, along with his small staff, traveled extensively throughout the United States, particularly where races were thought to be hotly contested, delivering speeches, hosting luncheons and dinners, participating in local community events, and garnering support for candidates. The CLF collected research on the various candidates they were supporting, their opponents, and the relevant political, social, and economic issues surrounding each election. Shriver delivered many political speeches during this short time period that became part of his well-known rhetoric, including “Mature Patriotism: A Turning Point in American History,” “The Human Reality of Recession,” and “Elephantitis in the White House.”
In 1972 Shriver ran for vice president on the Democratic ticket along with presidential candidate George McGovern. Missouri Senator Thomas Eagleton was nominated as McGovern’s running mate at the 1972 Democratic Party convention, but McGovern decided to run with Shriver instead after it was revealed that Eagleton had undergone electroshock therapy to treat depression. McGovern and Shriver lost the general election that November to Republican candidates Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew.
After the election, Shriver left public life to join the law firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver and Jacobson. In 1976 Shriver ran a short-lived campaign for President, but soon returned to his private endeavors.

Series 4. Ambassador to France, 1968-1970.
About 11,800 items.
This series contains material related to Sargent Shriver’s role as Ambassador to France. The series is arranged into seven subseries: Correspondence and Related Materials; General and Administrative; Events and Meetings; Ambassador’s Residence; Subject Files; Clippings; and Photographs. Most of the material is in English, but there is a considerable amount of French language material, particularly in the Correspondence and Clippings subseries.
|
Series 4.1. Correspondence and Related Materials.
About 5,350 items.
This subseries contains correspondence and related materials between Sargent Shriver and a wide range of people, including politicians, friends, acquaintances, heads of state, and strangers. Materials have been arranged by Subject Files, Mary Ann Orlando Files, and General Correspondence Files. While much of the material relates to France and Shriver’s work as Ambassador, a significant portion deals with Shriver’s political future and the political situation in the United States. There is a great deal of overlap among the three files, and researchers are advised to consult all three when looking for a particular correspondent, date, or subject. Carbon copies of responses sent by Shriver are often found attached to incoming correspondence. Note that, in most cases, original folder titles have been retained.
|
|
|
Series 4.1.1. Subject Files.
About 1,200 items.
Arrangement: alphabetical by subject; thereunder chronological by date.
This subseries consists of correspondence that was originally filed by subject. Materials include welcome letters from French and American officials and citizens living in France; congratulatory letters regarding Sargent Shriver’s appointment as Ambassador to France from ordinary citizens, heads of companies, members of Congress, other Ambassadors, colleagues, and friends and family; lists of names of those who received thank-you gifts from Shriver upon his departure for France; and correspondence with friends and colleagues in the U.S. regarding the political situation in Illinois and Maryland, and Shriver’s potential political future in each state. Items or folders of interest include a letter to Shriver from President Nixon thanking him for his work in making Nixon’s visit to Paris a success, and correspondence following an appearance at Mundelein College in October 1969 at which Shriver condemned President Nixon’s policies in Viet Nam for the first time.

Series 4.1.2. Mary Ann Orlando Files.
About 550 items.
Arrangement: alphabetical by type, thereunder chronological.
This subseries consists of correspondence found in folders belonging to Mary Ann Orlando (MAO), who served as Sargent Shriver’s secretary before, during, and after his time as Ambassador to France. Orlando drafted the majority of Shriver’s responses to incoming letters. While most of the letters received are written to Shriver, and in some cases to Eunice Kennedy Shriver, a few are addressed directly to Orlando. The three folders entitled “MAO-For Signature-Information [Other Materials]” contain items that were interfiled with correspondence, but are mainly memos, photos, notes, resumes, Shriver’s itineraries and schedules, press releases, speech transcripts, and clippings. Three copies of “How Franco-American Relations Improved,” written at the end of Shriver’s Ambassadorship, may be of particular interest to researchers. The folders entitled “Orlando, Mary Anne – Chron File – August 1968” consist almost entirely of carbon copies of letters drafted by Orlando for Shriver, and are arranged in reverse chronological order.

Series 6.2. State Subject Files, 1970: September-November.
About 2,200 items.
Arrangement: alphabetical by state.
This subseries contains research files, trip files, candidate files, news clippings, and Speaker’s Bureau Files for each of the 50 states, the majority of which Sargent Shriver visited on behalf of the CLF. Research files include census information on each state. Trip files contain Shriver’s schedules, speech cards, business cards, and political research on each state. Candidate files include candidate biographies, information on the political debates occurring within the state and its specific districts, correspondence, written notes, press releases, and speeches. News clippings consist of articles from state newspapers regarding Shriver’s campaign visits as well as current political issues of the state. Some state files contain a Speaker’s Bureau folder, which has information on Shriver’s trip, including correspondence, memos, fundraising efforts, and contact information for those who plan to assist in the campaign. A few states, such as Arizona, California, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, contain folders with thank you letters and information on specific dinners and luncheons hosted by Shriver.

Series 7. 1972 Presidential Campaign.
About 58,300 items.
This series contains information about Sargent Shriver’s involvement with George McGovern’s 1972 presidential campaign. The series is arranged into eight subseries: Correspondence; Subject Files; Staff Files; Geographic Briefing Files; Issues and Research Division; Speechwriting Division; Press Division; and Eunice Kennedy Shriver Campaign Files.
|
Series 7.1. Correspondence.
About 7,500 items.
This subseries contains general correspondence from the public regarding the Shriver campaign, and related office organizational files. The files are arranged alphabetically and probably came from the Shriver campaign’s mail room. Usually incoming letters have been attached to carbon copies of the responses. The majority of the correspondence is under the headings of Public Activities; Post Election; and Administration. See also Series 7.2. Subject File for a large amount of correspondence sorted by subject which is often cross-referenced in the administrative lists.
|
|
|
Series 7.1.1. Correspondence: Administrative Lists.
About 4,350 items.
Arrangement: alphabetical by surname.
This subseries consists of two sets of organizational office files used to track and cross reference correspondence. The Master File List is a file of names and addresses to which outgoing correspondence was sent. It consists of photocopied envelopes, arranged three to a page, and in strict alphabetical order. The list includes notations by the office staff regarding changes in address and returned mail. The Master Name File is an alphabetical name index of all correspondents, and is a mix of outgoing carbon copies and cross-reference sheets created for incoming mail. It seems the office staff never finished organizing the files into strict alphabetical order, and therefore the files for A to O are usually alphabetized perfectly, while the P to Z files are mostly only sorted according to first initial of last name.

Series 7.1.2. Correspondence: Form Letters.
About 1,400 items.
Arrangement: alphabetical by surname.
This subseries consists of correspondence from the general public concerning a wide variety of issues, questions, and requests. Topics include the effectiveness of Shriver’s campaign, requests that he address certain subjects, and suggestions for campaign slogans or publicity. Usually only the original incoming correspondence resides here, not the corresponding carbon copy response from the mail room. The letters were answered by form letters A-E, each of which corresponds to a specific response depending on the content and tone of the incoming letter. Campaign staff marked the appropriate designation (A-E) on each piece of mail. Examples of the master form letters are at the beginning of the subseries.

Series 7.1.3. Correspondence: Personalized Letters.
About 1,750 items.
Arrangement: alphabetical by surname.
This subseries consists of correspondence from the general public concerning a wide variety of issues, questions, and requests. To receive a personalized response, the correspondent usually had to have a specific question or request (often requiring research into Shriver’s position on an issue), or have an established relationship with Shriver (for example, his law firm associates). While the letters are tailored and personalized, most of the responses are still based on the form letters. Incoming letters are usually attached to their outgoing carbon copy response.

Series 7.2. Subject File.
About 12,750 items.
Arrangement: alphabetical by subject.
This subseries contains correspondence and issue files organized by subject, consisting of correspondence, memos, statements, press releases, position papers, articles, news clippings, and notes. It is unclear where this subject file was originally housed. Possibilities for the original location include the main K Street campaign office, campaign manager Lee White’s office, and the mail room, where it could have been used to answer incoming letters about campaign issues. It appears that the staff started with a correspondence subject file and interfiled background research files on various topics taken from many of the offices and divisions of the campaign. When new folders were added to the subject file, they usually retained their original labels, with the receiving staff adding the new subject heading by hand. Researchers can often detect the origin of certain files from the labeling system, and to this end each original folder was photocopied and included in the new folders. For example, folders with pink labels came from the office of Matt Ahmann, who was in charge of religious and ethnic issues (see Series 7.3.2. Staff Files: Matt Ahmann for the rest of his office files); and files from the Issues and Research Division were often labeled as such (see Series 7.5. Issues and Research Division). Correspondence subject files were signified originally by a green and white label, and sometimes contain research material as well as the correspondence. To help distinguish between the various types of folders, folders that appear to have been imported from other offices are marked with the appropriate name or division in brackets; for example, “[Kantor]” files seem to have come from Mickey Kantor’s office (see Series 7.3.1. Staff Files: Mickey Kantor); “[Issues]” files come from the Issues and Research Division, etc… Folders labeled “General” and those without an inter-office designation are usually the correspondence subject files. For more correspondence, see Series 7.1. Correspondence. The Public Activities and Post Election subjects are overwhelmingly correspondence files, while the Administration subject contains office material such as memos, detailed travel plans, and staff and volunteer paperwork. The guide to subject files contains an outline of the subject files that was produced by the campaign staff and is very useful as an overview to this subseries. It includes explanations and definitions of the material included in each topic. Not all subject headings listed in the guide have corresponding folders, as folders were only added as needed. See also Series 7.4.2. Geographic Briefing Files: Trip Books, originally considered part of this subject file; and Series 7.7. Press Division, also originally a subject file, but one that was separated out by the campaign staff.

Series 7.3.2. Matt Ahmann (Religious and ethnic affairs).
About 5,100 items.
Arrangement: alphabetical by subject.
This subseries contains office files from the office of Matt Ahmann, who was in charge of religious and ethnic affairs for the Shriver campaign. It contains memos, correspondence, news clippings, magazine articles, news releases, notes, statements, pamphlets, directories, and lists. These files were originally distinguishable by their pink labels. He focused especially on opinions and voting habits of Catholics, an important electoral group Shriver was expected to attract to the ticket. Major parts of this set are the Dioceses files, or biographical files on each city’s bishop, arranged alphabetically by city. They usually include 1) a biographical survey regarding each individual’s education and career, completed by the bishop himself; and 2) a more in-depth personal profile including the bishop’s outlook, personality, concerns, role in the parish, etc., compiled most likely by Matt Ahmann and his staff through interviews with others in the diocese. The personal profiles are closed for privacy. See also Series 7.2. Subject File, as many of his files ended up there, especially his research files on Catholics and ethnic groups. Included in this series are two boxes of index cards containing contacts within the Catholic Church.

Series 7.4.1. Geographic Briefing Files: Contacts, Issues and Demographics.
About 4,000 items.
Arrangement: alphabetical by city or state.
This subseries contains background material for the campaign trail. Each file usually contains two things: a biography of the city’s mayor, and a city profile giving the names of local politicians, census demographics, and other economic and political statistics in the following areas: population, income, jobs, unemployment, crime, education, housing, transportation, city budget, federal spending, and federal programs. The files for some cities include scheduling materials such as plans for events and appearances, lists of local contacts, notes made by Shriver’s staff, and copies of speeches. A handful of key states have their own folder of general information, although the bulk of the material is divided according to city. Files marked [Kantor] appear to have been originally part of Mickey Kantor’s files (see Series 7.3.1. Staff Files: Mickey Kantor) and subsequently transferred, as evidenced by the similar style of folders and handwritten labels. This may have occurred when Kantor was promoted from appointments secretary to staff coordinator as another person took over the scheduling work.

The state correspondence is divided into two sections, General and Invitations. General state correspondence contains correspondence between the general public and Shriver’s campaign staff regarding the support and progress of his presidential campaign. The Invitations are more formal in nature, often from institutions requesting Sargent Shriver for speaking engagements. There are also correspondence card files, arranged alphabetically by state. These were created and used by staff to keep track of office correspondence and campaign support. The cards list basic contact information, as well as type of letter sent to the Shriver campaign office, and response sent by staff.

Series 8.4. Subject File.
About 5,450 items.
This subseries contains background research materials and files pertaining to Shriver’s political stances and the prominent social and political issues of the time. There are three sections: General, Eunice Kennedy Shriver files, and State Files. The general subject files appear to have been created and used by Shriver’s campaign staff. Eunice Kennedy Shriver also kept and created her own set of files. As many of the same topics are covered in these two filing systems, there is some overlap. Also created and used by campaign staff, the state files are comprised mainly of printed materials informing candidates of general state information including demographics, geological information, campaigning rules, and contact information.

Series 8.5. Press Division.
About 10,350 items.
This subseries contains material relating to the press and the relationship between the press and Shriver’s campaign staff. There are three sections to the press division: Clippings Files, Press Files, and Don Pride’s files. By far the largest, the clippings files track the social and political temperament of the country during the campaign, and were created by the press office and used in part as supplementary research materials for the campaign staff. The Press Files are administrative, and contain mostly contact information for members of the media, press releases, and press summaries. The last section, devoted to Press Secretary Don Pride, is a set of files compiled by him and contain general staff information, as well as media practices. Researchers interested in viewing press correspondence should also consult Series 8.2.3. Press Correspondence, as there may be some overlap in content there.

Series 8.5.1. Clippings Files.
About 8,500 items.

Within these eight are further subject subdivisions. The clippings document the media coverage on these subjects as well as the progress of the 1976 Presidential campaign. In addition they serve as a barometer for the social and political climate of the time. All are arranged in chronological order within each subject folder.

Series 9. General Business Files.
About 13,350 items.
Arrangement: alphabetical by type of material.
This series contains information about Sargent Shriver’s business activities not covered elsewhere in the collection. These activities include possible Vice Presidential nominations, a possible nomination to the United Nations, and his work with the law firm Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver and Jacobson. Shriver’s ongoing involvement in Chicago-area business and politics, such as Joseph P. Kennedy’s Merchandise Mart, the Catholic Interracial Council of Chicago, and the Chicago School Board, are covered here as well. The series also contains speeches, correspondence and paperwork (all of a business nature) generated by Shriver when he was not associated with a particular business or office. Public appearances folders contain correspondence, speech transcripts, and scheduling information. Subject files contain information relating to a particular business venture. Researchers should be aware that most of the topics covered in this series have a limited amount of material associated with them. This is especially true in the case of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver and Jacobson. Please note that this series was artificially assembled from folders found scattered throughout the collection. Folders exist for scrapbooks and contain a withdrawal sheet that describes the contents. In some cases, folders contain copies of loose material from the scrapbooks. To view a scrapbook in its entirety, please consult with the reference archivist.

Series 10.1. Correspondence, 1940-1979.
About 3600 items.
Arrangement: alphabetical by subject, chronological thereunder.
This series consists of Sargent Shriver’s personal correspondence, which includes family as well as general correspondence. Much of the general correspondence was originally filed in chronological order by date. This correspondence documents Shriver’s relationships with both business associates and general admirers on the personal level. Included are requests for autographs, invitations to events, and letters of admiration from the public and business associates. These letters, contrary to the general correspondence found in other parts of the collection, are non-specific as to Shriver’s career involvement at the time. Also included are correspondence files more specifically named by subject or person.
