Collection Overview
The Papers of Richard Neustadt span the period 1949-1991. The bulk of the collection spans the years 1955-1979, when Dr. Neustadt worked as a political scientist and educator, and served as a consultant to the United States government in many capacities. Papers include correspondence, memorandums, minutes, reports, writings, speeches, interview notes, wires, news clippings, extensive materials relating to his career as a government consultant, the Skybolt study, Multilateral Force study, the 1972 Democratic Party platform, and Columbia and Harvard Universities. Prior to 1955, there are only research materials concerning the Truman and early Eisenhower administrations.
Neustadt was professor of government at Columbia University and, later, Harvard University when the majority of these papers were created. The Alphabetical and chronological correspondence series document Neustadt’s work as an educator and reflect his academic responsibilities and interests. Information relating to his work with the Democratic Platform Committees for the 1960 and 1972 conventions may be found in Correspondence, 1955-1965 (research materials from the Eisenhower period) and Democratic Platform Committee, 1972 respectively.
Of note in the Trips series are Neustadt's notes of personal interviews with former President Harry Truman and members of the Truman and Eisenhower administrations. Neustadt conducted the interviews as part of his research for his book Presidential Power. Neustadt's work on the transition between the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations and on problems of government organization may be found in Correspondence, 1955-1965 and Government Consulting, 1959-1966.
Neustadt spent the 1961-1962 academic year as a visiting lecturer at Nuffield College, Oxford University, and also served as a political observer and forecaster for the Ford Foundation and Department of State. The Correspondence series contains the material from this time period. Upon his return to America, Neustadt resumed his government consulting by accepting President Kennedy's assignment to investigate and report on the causes of the Skybolt crisis. Related materials may be found in the Government Consulting series. His consulting work for the Bureau of the Budget, Department of State and Senate Subcommittee on National Security Staffing and Operations is documented in the Alphabetical Correspondence and Government Consulting series. His consulting work for President Lyndon Johnson in 1964 concerning Atlantic issues, in general, and the president's first meeting with the British on the multilateral force, in particular, is documented in the Correspondence (A-Z Miscellany) and Government Consulting series.
Material relating to Neustadt's work with Robert Kennedy’s New York Senate campaign and his appointment as the first director of the new Institute of Politics at Harvard University can be found in the alphabetical correspondence series.
Neustadt is extremely well known for his writings on various aspects of presidential power and general governmental organization. Copies of the writings found within these papers have been placed at the end of the collection in the Writings series. While these papers include the research materials used for Presidential Power, there are no manuscript materials for the book in the collection. Copies of Neustadt's published books and introductions to books can be found in the Library's printed materials collection through the card catalog under his name. Researchers will also want to consult the Neustadt staff memoranda in the National Security Files: Meetings and Memoranda series (this includes the final Skybolt report) and in the President's Office Files. Neustadt has also deposited papers in the Harry S. Truman Library.
