Background
- Scope and Content:
This series contains a portion of the office files of Arthur Massolo, who served in the Appointments Office during Nelson A. Rockefeller's third gubernatorial term. This incomplete selection of papers is composed entirely of correspondence with individuals seeking employment in the Rockefeller administration. As Assistant Appointments Officer to the Governor, Massolo forwarded the correspondence to the appropriate department. Massolo often included cover memoranda with recommendations on the individuals to the directors, commissioners, or secretaries of the many New York State departments.
There is no indication as to why those individuals who have their own folders were given such a distinction. Arthur J. Lewis wrote several letters to Massolo seeking state aid on behalf of his disabled son. Rose Shapiro was appointed as Governor Rockefeller's new assistant for narcotics in February 1970. Folder 12, Puerto Ricans Meeting, March 22, 1967, contains Massolo's notes from this meeting.
