This series covers the majority of Jerry Danzig's service as Nelson Rockefeller's Special Assistant to the Governor for Radio and Television, from 1964 to 1973. The files consist of Danzig's internal memoranda and correspondence regarding Governor Rockefeller's radio and television appearances; bills and invoices for the production, distribution, and broadcast of television promotions; and budgets and expense accounts for programs. There are also scripts and transcripts of short promotional films on Rockefeller. Additional Danzig material is also located in the New York Office series of the Nelson Rockefeller Gubernatorial Papers (III 15 22.3). While the material in this series is primarily New York State related, the material in the New York Office series deals primarily with the 1964 Presidential Campaign.

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).

Prior to his election as Governor of New York in November 1958, Nelson A. Rockefeller maintained an office at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. To separate his work as Governor from his private activities, Governor Rockefeller established an office in Manhattan at 22 West 55th Street. This became known as the New York Office, to distinguish it from the Governor's office in the state capitol building in Albany. Governor Rockefeller was the first governor to maintain a permanent office in New York City. In general, Governor Rockefeller was in Albany only when the state legislature was in session or on special occasion. The management of his public duties was largely undertaken from the New York Office.

This series consists of copies of financial reports of New York Republican fund raising committees, dated 1967 to 1973, filed with the New York Secretary of State in accordance with New York State election laws at the time.

Hellmuth, who served as treasurer for both organizations. All but three reports have cover letters from Hellmuth. Attached to the cover letter of most of the reports are certified mail receipts and return receipts from mailing the original reports.

This small series contains only a portion of the files of the New York State Committee to Reelect the President [Nixon]. The original extent of the materials was twelve cubic feet. However, shortly after the materials were deposited in the Rockefeller Family Archives, the NYS Committee to Reelect the President (NYS CREEP) was audited by the Internal Revenue Service. The majority of the materials was sent to Washington, DC, and was never returned. The original folder listing of the full collection of 12 boxes is in Box 2, Folder 14. The remaining materials--which comprise this series--were originally found in boxes 9, 10, and 11.

Rockefeller's four terms as governor of New York, from 1959 to 1973, and particularly the elections in 1958, 1962, 1966, and 1970.

From 1965 to 1966, Ronan also served as head of the Metropolitan Transit Authority.

The Activities Series provides a partial view of Nelson A. Rockefeller's business, civic, governmental, philanthropic, cultural, and social activities from 1930 to 1979. The records in this series were assembled by the Rockefeller family archivist during the early 1970s following the 1971 transfer of Nelson A. Rockefeller's files to the Rockefeller family archive. The bulk of material dates from between 1946 and 1971, a period when Rockefeller maintained his files separately from the General Files of the Office of the Messrs. Rockefeller, which contained the files of his father and brothers. Records predating 1946 were removed from the General Files in that year to form the core of Nelson A. Rockefeller's files. Most of Nelson A. Rockefeller's personal files created after 1971 are in Record Group 3 and 33 of the Rockefeller family archives,which remain closed to research. However, for reasons which are not now known, some records created after 1971 were filed at the end of this series. They are designated "Post-1971 Material." The title of the series reflects the broad scope of the documentation.

This series contains a portion of Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller's political correspondence on state and national issues. The correspondence reflects his role as a national political figure and was filed separately from correspondence generated while serving as Governor of New York.

Rockefeller's personal copies of correspondence, reports, and other documents gathered during his service in the federal government in ten presidential appointments between 1940 and 1969. All manner of documents can be found in these files, from handwritten notes to printed reports. Marginal notes found in Rockefeller's handwriting are not uncommon. These records both duplicate and complement official government records held in the National Archives and in presidential libraries.
