SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
Part I
The records of the Washington Bureau of the National Urban
League consist of letters received and carbons of letters sent
supplemented with copies of letters and memoranda, the originals
of which are retained by the national office, plus memoranda,
reports, personnel data forms, lists, charts, bulletins, news
releases, articles, newspaper clippings, printed matter, and
photographs. Although the files date from 1961 to 1967, only the
years 1962-66 are thoroughly represented.
The National Urban League, a nationwide social welfare
organization working for equal opportunities for African-
Americans, opened the Washington Bureau in December 1961. Prior
to this date, the bureau's functions were handled by the staff of
the League's Washington affiliate.
Under the directorship of Cernoria D. Johnson, a former
executive director of the League's Oklahoma City affiliate, the
bureau provided the League with current information on
legislation pending in Congress, lobbied government agencies,
arranged meetings between League personnel with government
administrators and members of Congress, and supplied government
personnel with League literature. Among other essential duties
performed by the Washington Bureau was acting as a clearinghouse
for jobs available in government agencies, arranging travel
reservations and accommodations for League officials, and serving
as a consultant to the national office on government statistical
data.
Correspondence with the national office staff comprises
nearly half of the General Office File. Correspondence with
federal administrators and members of Congress indicates a
continuing interest by the League in promoting programs designed
to stimulate equal employment opportunities.
The Correspondence File series consists of carbons of
letters sent, copies of which are also included in the General
Office File. Job descriptions and applications used primarily to
fill available government positions are housed in the Personnel
Referral File series. League press releases, including Whitney
Young's column, "To Be Equal," make up a small Publicity File
series. The Resource and Information File, a subject file
maintained for reference purposes, contains literature on
government programs, League projects, meetings, conferences,
staff meetings, and special workshops attended by the bureau's
staff.
Prominent figures represented in the records include Charles
Diggs, Jr., Paul Douglas, Philip Hart, Edward M. Kennedy, Robert
Kennedy, A. S. "Mike" Monroney, Adam Clayton Powell, and Harrison
Williams.
Part II
Part II of the records of the National Urban League's
Washington Bureau (later the Office of Washington Operations)
spans the years 1963-85, with the bulk of the items concentrated
in the period 1974-85. These records primarily document the
tenures of Ron H. Brown, 1973-79, and Maudine R. Cooper, 1980-83,
as director of the Washington Bureau and vice president for
Washington Operations. Included are correspondence, office
memoranda, proposals, reports, speeches, press releases,
photographs, contracts, financial records, organizational charts,
directories, manuals, League publications and other printed
matter, minutes of meetings, awards, mailing lists, and other
original and secondary materials.
The records of Part II reflect the reorganization of the
National Urban League in 1979 that had been authorized by the
Board of Trustees the previous year. The Research Department and
the Washington Bureau were brought together administratively
under the newly-created office of vice president for Washington
Operations. The Research Department and Washington Bureau
retained their respective names, however, and maintained separate
offices five blocks apart in downtown Washington, D.C. Robert B.
Hill continued to serve as director of the Research Department.
The vice president for Washington Operations, Ron H. Brown, also
served as director of the Washington Bureau.
In 1972, the name of the Washington Bureau had officially
been changed to Department of Government Affairs, although the
office continued to be referred to unofficially as the Washington
Bureau. After the 1979 reorganization, the Washington Bureau
became the Policy Unit of the Office of Washington Operations on
a par equal with the Research Department. Even then, the name
Washington Bureau continued to be used by some. Eventually, the
Policy Unit name was dropped as the name Washington Operations
took hold and became synonymous with the old Washington Bureau.
In the records of Part II, the name Washington Operations was
sometimes used in reference to the original Washington Bureau,
exclusive of the Research Department, and at other times to refer
to the office of the vice president for Washington Operations,
including the Research Department.
Although the records in Part II are those of Washington
Operations, they comprise only the records of the former
Washington Bureau. Records of the Research Department can be
found among the records of the national office of the League.
The Washington Operations office served as the primary
public policy advocate for the League. Founded in December 1961,
Washington Operations monitored and analyzed federal legislation,
administrative guidelines, and public policy decisions, and also
sought to influence decision-makers on behalf of the poor and
other minorities. Another function of the office was the
gathering and sharing of information among League affiliates and
regional offices and among public and private organizations. The
office maintained close relationships with such groups as the
Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, National Black Media
Coalition, Congressional Black Caucus, National Housing
Conference, and the National Center for Consumers of Legal
Services.
The Correspondence File of the records contains incoming and
outgoing letters and office memoranda and attachments primarily
with the directors Ron H. Brown and Maudine R. Cooper. Much of
the correspondence is with the national office, particularly with
its executive director, Vernon E. Jordan, and concerns
administrative and personnel matters, speaking engagements, and
testimony before Congress and other government bodies.
The General Office File includes incoming and outgoing
correspondence, office memoranda, conference materials, minutes
of meetings, notes, proposals, reports, photographs, and printed
matter. Much of this material concerns monitoring and analyzing
proposed congressional legislation, the regulatory activities of
federal agencies, and the funding and administration of federal
grant programs. Also in this series are records concerning the
development of cooperative strategies with other lobbying
organizations. A particularly well-documented issue was a
proposal by the Office of Management and Budget to limit the
influence of organizations that lobby Congress. Also in the
General Office File are administrative housekeeping records, such
as mission statements, annual reports, financial records, and
personnel material.
The Publicity File contains incoming and outgoing
correspondence, office memoranda, press releases, testimony,
printed matter, reports, and newsletters. Most of the records in
this series are booklets, pamphlets, and unpublished papers
prepared by staff of the Office of Washington Operations and
other League offices on a variety of social and political topics,
including the federal budget, poverty, racism, housing,
employment, welfare, education, parenthood, and civil rights.
The Washington Operations office issued several newsletters and
various press material to disseminate information to its
constituents and to legislators. Among these were _Legislative
Alert_, _News from Washington Bureau_, _News from the Washington
Bureau_, _Point/Counterpoint_, _Congressional Digest_, _Press
Release_ and _Discussion Paper_. Also in this series are
publicity material issued by the national office, such as _News
from the National Urban League_ and _News from the National Urban
League Conference_.
