Scope and Content Note

Series is subdivided into the following subseries: Schedules, Whip/Leadership, Administrative Assistant Files, Administrative, Alan Cranston Files, and Ethics Committee Hearings, Mail, California Files, Legislative Record, Legislation, Committees and Press series.

Subseries 2.1 Schedules 1969-1992

Physical Description: Cartons 29-58

Arrangement

Arranged chronologically.

Scope and Content Note

Includes office schedules, accepted invitations, itineraries, calendars, and the Senator's daily green schedule cards. The invitations are stuffed in oversize envelopes by month and marked by the Senator indicating his acceptance. California schedules were prepared by the field office staff and changed frequently depending on the Senator's Washington D.C. obligations. Often staff memos or community forum briefing notes are stapled to the California schedules. There may be some duplication of materials between California schedules and the California Files series. Divided into two subsubseries by location: Washington D.C. and California.

Subseries 2.2 Whip Files and Leadership 1977-1991

Physical Description: Carton 59

Scope and Content Note

Cranston was elected to seven terms as the Democratic party whip. He was first elected whip, or assistant leader, in January 1977, and completed his final term in January 1991. Includes whip notices, vote tallies, other leadership files. These leadership positions are typically under documented, and this collection is no exception. Known as a consummate vote counter and behind-the-scenes conciliator, much of Cranston's work was verbal and, therefore, not documented.

Subseries 2.3 Administrative Assistant Files 1969-1993

Physical Description: Cartons 60-65, Carton 620

Arrangement

Organized by issue.

Scope and Content Note

The Administrative Assistant serves as the Chief of Staff to the Senator. Bob Gray was A.A. for approximately two years. Roy Greenaway, who was on staff from the beginning, became Administrative Assistant in 1971 and remained in this position until Cranston left office in 1993. Includes files on campaign finance legislation, congressional pay raises, the Ethics Committee, Senate rules and procedures, mail franking, and office budgets, as well as other internal Senate issues that affect the operation of the office. Carton 620 (missed in the original move and sent in 1994 from the Washington Records Center) contains "miscellaneous subject files...1969-70", including memos and notes between Cranston and Roy Greenaway, and is presumed to belong in this series.

The Administrative Assistant position is ill-defined but incredibly important. Roy Greenaway's longevity in the job is increasingly rare on Capitol Hill. His association with the Senator goes back to the CDC organization in California in the 1950's. The role of an Administrative Assistant is difficult to document, and Roy left behind barely one carton of papers. Much of his work was conducted verbally. However, his long-time assistant, Jan Mueller, kept a number of files which are included in this series. Administrative Assistant Files typically document the structure and management of the office, the role of the staff and their interrelationships, and their role in accomplishing the senator's goals. Primary emphasis is on memos to and from the senator, other staff, and outside contacts. These files also document the development of political goals and operating plans for the year and the Congress. Roy was responsible for hiring and firing staff as well as assigning them legislative issue areas and structuring how both the Washington D.C. and field offices would run. All legislative and staff memos were read by Roy before they went to Alan. He worked closely with Alan on political strategy and with Murray on press issues and strategy. He also worked with the Senate Rules Committee and Ethics Committee on issues pertaining to the functioning of the office.

Physical Description: Carton 66, 621

Scope and Content Note

Includes staff memos on policy and procedure, office manuals, staff legislative assignments, and other papers pertaining to office administration. Jan Mueller worked as both Roy Greenaway's assistant and the Administrative Head of the office from 1969-1993, so many of these are her files or those of the various Washington D.C. Office Managers she supervised. Jan worked so closely with Roy Greenaway that some of these files will belong more appropriately in the Administrative Assistant series preceding this one.

Subseries 2.7 Mail 1969-1993

Physical Description: Cartons 142-179

Arrangement

This series is divided into mail reports, robos, and central files.

Scope and Content Note

A brief explanation of the office mail system: When mail entered the office it was counted. If the mailroom received 20 or more letters on a given topic this was dubbed "issue mail" and an issue box would be created for the topic in the mailroom. Issue mail would receive a robo (or form letter) response that was prepared by the appropriate aide or staff member. These letters were placed in envelopes of up to 200 and answered by the communications room staff. The actual incoming letters were boxed up and sent to the Washington National Records Center. Over 2,500 boxes of these mass mailings were destroyed when the Senator left office. If there were less than 20 letters on a given topic, these were called "individuals" and routed to the appropriate staff person's desk for reply. After a response was drafted, a legislative secretary would type and mail these. These letters became part of the office's central files which consisted of Name Files and Subject Files. Correspondence was filed by constituent last name or agency name in the Name files. Correspondence in the Subject files was filed according to a subject index developed by staff members over time (copy enclosed). Only a copy of the office's outgoing letter was filed in the Name files, while the incoming letter, a copy of the outgoing letter, and any backup materials were filed in the Subject files. Any outgoing correspondence without an incoming letter or backup, for example, a letter the Senator might initiate writing to another Senator, would be in the Name files only. Until 1986, VIP mail was treated like any other individual letter. But from 1986 to 1993, VIP was "yellow-tagged" and sent to a first-name desk that answered only VIP mail. In both systems, the VIP mail ends up in the central files, interfiled in the Name or Subject files with all the other individual letters.

Physical Description: Cartons 180-197, 623

Scope and Content Note

Contains correspondence, project background information, community meeting notes, county issue summaries, briefing memos on local issues.

Much of the Senator's work occurred in his home state, and this series reflects that activity. During his years in office, Senator Cranston operated field offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego in order to better serve his constituents. The structure of the field operation changed over time as new ideas to remain in better contact with Californians were implemented. The early County Files were the work of Washington D.C. staff who visited California to hear constituent problems. Running from 1969-1977, these are arranged alphabetically by county. Subsequently, in the late 70's through 1992, field staff in California handled these duties. They traveled to different counties to hold open houses and, in later years, held community forums on different topics of interest to local communities. These files are sometimes arranged alphabetically by county, sometimes chronologically by date of field visit, and sometimes by the name of the staff member.

Projects were handled in both Washington D.C. and California. A project was usually a request by a California agency or community for the Senator to assist them in obtaining federal grants or funds for projects. This ranged from writing letters of support for grant requests to help with oversight on a hazardous waste problem to making sure that California cities received favorable treatment from a number of federal agencies. These files are split between the Washington and California offices and different people arranged them differently. Some are organized alphabetically by county; others are alphabetical by federal agency name (for example: IRS, Veteran's Administration, etc.).

Around 1988 a California Community database was developed by the office to better track local issues, contacts, and projects. Records documenting the design and implementation of this database are included, as well as a number of final reports.

Subseries 2.9 Legislative Record 1969-1992

Physical Description: Cartons 198-218

Scope and Content Note

Contains summaries of legislative accomplishments, staff-generated daily and weekly activity reports, voting summaries generated by the LEGISLATE database, and voting records prepared by the Democratic National Committee and various interest groups. Also includes a series of bound Congressional Records with annotations and an index to the Senator's remarks, 1969-1977. Includes 1992 retirement tribute book composed of Congressional Records statements from other senators.

Helen Cannen kept the first voting records from 1969-1976. These became more formalized by Cleo Messinger, who, in the position of office Writer-Historian, maintained a system of Senate activity summaries entitled "Dailies" and "Biweeklies" that were distributed to the entire staff. Carolyn Fulton followed in the position of Writer-Historian and continued this task until the office closed.

These summaries are divided into the following sections: legislation that Cranston introduced, legislation that he co-sponsored, how he voted on bills along with a brief summary of the bill and a note on the outcome, and Congressional Highlights and Activities which included adding sponsorships to his bills or speaking at hearings. The dailies are reports on a daily basis. The biweeklies are compendiums of the dailies. They are numbered by Congress, with a new #1 for each new Congress. Subject indexes to the biweeklies are included beginning with the 99th Congress (1985). Backup files contain all the documents that were needed to write the dailies and biweeklies. They include Cranston's floor statements, written hearing testimony, copies of letters, and some press releases.

Subseries 2.10 Legislation 1969-1992

Physical Description: Cartons 219-351, 622

Scope and Content Note

These files document the nature and extent of the senator's participation in the introduction and movement of bills, his general legislative interests, impact, and influence, as well as the interaction of legislative concerns and interests with the pressures of his constituency. These files also document the development of policy positions and legislative initiatives by the legislative staff. Typical documents include statements; staff position papers; briefing memos; correspondence with other senators, the executive branch, and interest groups; a copy of the bill along with marked up drafts; conference and committees reports; any relevant hearings; related speeches or press releases; and background materials such as news clippings, reports, and CRS publications.

In the Cranston office, the legislative staff was composed of Legislative Assistants and Legislative Aides. The Legislative Assistants were more senior staff who had expertise in certain subject areas. The Legislative Assistants responsibilities included briefing the Senator on upcoming legislation, tracking bills in Congress, developing bills to introduce, and meeting with lobbyists and constituents. The Aides were assigned to support the work of the Legislative Assistants. They also composed robos and letters to constituents, met with constituents, and wrote briefing memos to the Senator. In addition, Susanne Martinez served as Legislative Director for a number of years. She was responsible for guiding overall legislative strategy as well as discharging her Legislative Assistant duties. The legislative staff was structured into "pods". Each pod addressed a cluster of subjects and consisted of a Legislative Assistant, one or two Aides, and a Legislative Secretary.

Senator Cranston has his own files on legislative issues in his Working Files series. Researchers should consult both series for relevant information. The senator's notes, drafts, and annotations are found in both series. Staff legislative assignment memos are in the Administrative series.

Divided into eight sub-series: Agriculture/Environment/Native Americans, Arts/Education/Labor, Energy and Transportation, Foreign Policy and Defense, Health, Judiciary, Social Services, and Tax and Trade.

Scope and Content Note

Susanne Martinez was responsible for these issues on the Child and Human Development Subcommittee of the Labor and Human Resources Committee; when she moved to the personal office, she brought these issues with her. Her work on the committee and her work for the personal office were virtually inseparable and are sometimes even filed together. Some of her papers are in this subseries, while others are in the Committee series. Researchers working on these issues should consult both series. Although she still worked on similar issues while she served as the Staff Legislative Director, other Legislative Assistants on these issues included Marion Rodriguez, Asha Jaini, and Irene Buena.

Subseries 2.11 Committees 1969-1992

Physical Description: Cartons 352-385

Scope and Content Note

Committee files are the same as the Legislative files above, except that they are generated by Cranston committee staff or personal staff, who are assigned to do specific committee work. Like legislative files, they contain bills, committee drafts, position papers, memos, statement, press releases, and background materials. Although official committee files are deposited with the National Archives, the personal files of staff members can be included with the senator's papers. Researchers interested in these files should contact the National Archives for the full records of the relevant committees.

This series contains Jonathan Steinberg's files, as well as papers from the Veterans' Affairs Committee, the Committee on Labor and Human Resources, and the Housing and Urban Affairs Subcommittee of the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.

Jonathan Steinberg joined Cranston's staff as counsel on the Labor and Public Welfare subcommittee on veterans' affairs in 1968. From 1971 to 1973, Steinberg served as counsel to both the subcommittee on railroad and retirement and the subcommittee on human resources. When Cranston became chair of the Veterans' Committee in 1977, Steinberg assumed the position of staff director and chief counsel. His early files seem to encompass every issue, not just committee issues. For example, he worked on the Harrison Williams ABSCAM case, even though this did not fall under his committee jurisdiction. He also worked on the Capitol Security Committee which Cranston was assigned to by virtue of his position as Democratic Whip, and those files are included in this series. So this series contains a number of Steinberg legislative files that don't really belong in one particular place. They are placed here only because he was officially designated committee staff. Some of his issues overlap with those of Susanne Martinez and the Judiciary pod of the Personal staff, so a researcher should be prepared to search all three places for certain issues.

Susanne Martinez, who moved from committee staff to personal staff, has files on identical subjects in both the Legislation and the Committee series. It is necessary to cross-reference her files from the Personal office with those from the Labor and Human Resources Committee, particularly the Child and Human Development Subcommittee.

The first eleven cartons are John Steinberg files. The next thirteen cartons are from the Labor and Human Resources Committee and its various subcommittees. The next five cartons are Peace Corps files from the Veterans' Affairs Committee. The next three cartons are from the Housing and Urban Affairs Subcommittee. The last two cartons are from the Committee on the Budget; these files were kept by personal staff, who were assigned to cover the relevant committee work, so they are not truly committee staff files, but they are concerned with committee work.

Scope and Content Note

Divided into general press files, speeches, press releases, the newsletter to constituents, press background files, clipping files and scrapbooks, and audiovisual materials.

Murray Flander was Senator Cranston's Press Secretary from 1969-1993. He was the publisher of the Coalinga newspaper until he left to work for Cranston in Washington D.C., and his final two editorials in his paper about going on leave to work for Cranston's campaign are included in the 1968 campaign files.

Press files are a mixture of correspondence, letters to editors, memos, and published articles by and about Cranston. Indexes to press releases are filed here; they should be copied and interfiled with the proper year in the press release files. Speeches are included here too, but they may need to be interfiled with speeches in other parts of the collection, particularly those in Cranston's working files. Also, many speeches are included in the Press Release files as background information. Press conference transcripts, press briefings, and interviews and hearing are also included. Finally, AC floor statements pulled from the Congressional Records are here for 1973-1973 and 1977-1986; these might be duplicated in press release files.

The Press Release files contain press releases, drafts, speeches, and statements, many with handwritten notes by Cranston. They are chronological by date, 1/10/69-1/1/93. Press releases from the Veteran's Affairs Committee are included.

Press Background files are alphabetical by subject and contain floor statements, press releases, robos, and staff memos. Clipping files include both files and oversize scrapbooks.

Subsubseries 3.1.5 Senate 1968

Physical Description: Cartons 515-522

Scope and Content Note

Alan Cranston ran against conservative Republican Max Rafferty during the 1968 campaign for Senate. The Vietnam War was the major issue of the campaign. Rafferty championed militarism and tried to paint Cranston as soft on communism because of his dedication to peace and the end of the Vietnam War. Rafferty also attempted to use Cranston's involvement in the World Federalists as grounds for red-baiting. In addition, Rafferty tried to paint Cranston as soft on crime. Cranston defeated Rafferty by a slim 66,000 vote lead. Crucial to his victory were the votes of moderate Republicans, who even organized a pro-Cranston campaign committee called "GOPocrats for Cranston". Includes correspondence, campaign management, memos, voter registration, schedules, events, press, campaign literature, fundraising, opposition files, subject files, polls, results, clippings, ephemera, and audiovisual materials.

Subsubseries 3.1.9 Senate 1986

Physical Description: Cartons 578-610

Scope and Content Note

In 1986, Cranston ran his closest race for Senator since he was first elected to the Senate in 1968. A whole field of Republican contenders vied for the chance to try to unseat him, including Bobbi Fiedler, Bruce Herschensohn, Mike Antonovich, and moderate Republican Ed Zschau, who eventually won the Republican primary. Cranston's campaign focused on the inconsistencies in Zschau's stance on issues; the campaign even published lists of Zschau "flip flops", which outlined the ways in which Zschau's political stance changed whenever the political winds shifted. Darry Sragow ran the campaign as campaign manager, and Ronald Peterson, who had been the finance director of Cranston's bid for the presidency, returned to work on the 1986 Senate campaign as the legal counsel. Includes correspondence, memos, campaign management, legal files, voter registration, schedules, position papers, press, speeches, campaign literature, fundraising, opposition research, polls, clippings, ephemera, and audiovisual materials (including photographs). Also contains preparation for a 1992 Senate campaign.
