This series contains a portion of the files of Joseph H. Boyd. These files primarily document Boyd's tenure as Congressional liaison officer for Governor Rockefeller. During 1967, Boyd maintained an office in Washington, DC, and held regular meetings with members of the New York State Congressional delegation. Almost all of the files pertain to that year, when he routinely spoke with members by telephone and represented the Governor in Washington. Boyd also served as Rockefeller's liaison to the New York State Legislature during this time. Boyd was a member of Governor Rockefeller's staff before as well as after serving in this role. The other files in this series cover his prior service as a Special Assistant to the Governor. Of note are memoranda and correspondence from Henry Kissinger and Edward Teller on such topics as foreign policy, defense spending, and the nuclear test ban treaty before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1963 (Folders 42 and 43).
