                            SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE



     The papers of Thomas Otten Paine span the years 1931-92,
with the bulk of the materials concentrated in the period
1960-82.  The collection documents Paine's engineering and
administrative career with the General Electric Company and
Northrop Corporation, his administration of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration during the first seven
Apollo missions, and his membership and participation in
professional, scientific, and educational organizations. 
Primarily consisting of correspondence, memoranda, reports,
minutes of meetings, drafts, and printed matter, the papers are
organized into the following series: Personal File, General
Correspondence, Government File, Corporate File, Professional
Associations, Miscellany, and Classified Material.

     The Personal File (1931-92) contains appointment books,
biographical and genealogical materials, and documents relating
to Paine's naval service during World War II.  Included is a copy
of a personal journal recording Paine's participation in the
demilitarization of Japanese submarine forces during the early
days of the occupation of Japan.  Also in the file is a
bibliography representing over three thousand books in Paine's
personal library relating to submarines and submarine warfare. 
Completing the series are family correspondence, material
relating to Paine's membership in submarine veterans'
organizations, and a few personal business papers of his father,
George T. Paine.

     The General Correspondence series (1955-91) consists of
incoming and outgoing correspondence between Paine and friends,
colleagues, and the general public primarily relating to
employment and professional opportunities, space and planetary
exploration, submarine technology, and topics of a routine
nature.

     Correspondence, memoranda, reports, and other materials
pertaining to Paine's work as deputy and acting administrator of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration are found in
the Government File (1965-91).  Material in this section include
comprehensive subject files relating to the Apollo missions,
including the Apollo Eleven flight when Neil Armstrong and Buzz
Aldrin became the first human beings to set foot on the moon. 
Other papers in this section include chronological files of
letters and memoranda by Paine and reading files containing
correspondence, memoranda, reports, printed matter, and other
material received by Paine on a daily basis.

     The Government File also contains material pertaining to
Paine's role as chairman of the National Commission on Space. 
Included are drafts and the commission's final report entitled
_Pioneering the Space Frontier_.  The series also contains
correspondence, memoranda, and reports relating to Paine's work
on the Advisory Committee on the Future of the United States
Space Program.

     The largest segment of the collection is the Corporate File
(1950-92).  Primarily comprised of correspondence, memoranda,
minutes of meetings and reports, the series contains extensive
files pertaining to Paine's long career with the General Electric
Company and his work as president of the Northrop Corporation. 
General Electric files include documentation of his original
research on fine-particle magnets and the innovative programs he
instituted  to develop lasers, medical electronic equipment, and
electric vehicles.  Northrop files are largely comprised of
material relating to visits he made to foreign air force bases as
president of the company.  In the personal logbooks from these
travels are narratives, photographs, and accounts of private
discussions held with Bandar Bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia, Admiral
Soong, head of Taiwan's armed forces, and officials from the
Soviet Union.  Also in the series are files pertaining to his
membership on the board of directors of several space-related
companies and to Thomas Paine Associates, a consulting firm
started by Paine after retiring from Northrop.

     The Professional Associations series (1945-92) is mostly
comprised of correspondence, memoranda, minutes of meetings, and
reports pertaining to Paine's membership in professional,
educational, and scientific organizations.  Papers documenting
his work as a member of the Engineers Joint Council constitute
the bulk of the series.  Included are numerous reports Paine
helped prepare as a member of the Council's Engineering Research
Committee.  Also in the series are papers relating to Case for
Mars conferences in which Paine and others promoted the
exploration and colonization of the planet Mars.

     Among the Miscellany (1947-91) are handwritten notes by
Paine, reports and drafts pertaining to his work as a research
assistant at Stanford University, and drafts of books and
screenplays by others regarding planetary and space exploration.

     Prominent correspondents include Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, Ray
Bradbury, John Glenn, J. Herbert Hollomon, Thomas V. Jones, and
Robert C. Seamans.
