Scope and Content Note

Note

This collection was arranged in 1991 and again in 2011. Between 1991 and 2011 the Library identified about half the volume of the original collection and added it to the Fuller collection. The new arrangement reflects the addition of this material.

The Craig Fuller collection is arranged in 13 series: SERIES I: Cabinet Activities; SERIES II: Cabinet Council Activities; SERIES III: Budget Planning and Review; SERIES IV: Subject File; SERIES V: Department Summary Reports, 1981-1982; SERIES VI: Meeting Notes, 1981-1985; SERIES VII: Correspondence; SERIES VIII: Karen Hart Material; SERIES IX: Approved Presidential Activities, October 1981-June 1983; SERIES X: Craig Fuller’s Schedules February 1985-March 1985; SERIES XI: Bush Trip Scheduling File January 1984-March 1985; SERIES XII: President’s Private Sector Survey on Cost Control; SERIES XIII: Publications, 1981-1985.

Series List

SERIES I: CABINET ACTIVITIES

This series consists of material relating to Cabinet Meetings in the first administration. Folders contain agendas, lists of attendees, background papers and some minutes. Subjects covered are mostly domestic issues and are heavily focused on economic improvements, budgeting and tax changes. It is arranged chronologically.

SERIES II: CABINET COUNCIL ACTIVITIES

This series consists of material relating to the construction and administration of Cabinet Councils. The series also contains select agendas, meeting participants, background papers and minutes for a select few Cabinet Council meetings. The Office of Cabinet Affairs contains much more complete folders on Cabinet Council meetings, notably in the Becky Norton Dunlop and Ken Cribb collections.

SERIES III: BUDGET PLANNING AND REVIEW

This series consists of material regarding budget planning, policy, review and review board appeals for the entire federal budget. Material from early in the administration is focused on the entire federal budget and later material is focused on individual agencies and departments. The folders are generally arranged by type of budget review and then loosely chronologically.

SERIES IV: SUBJECT FILE, 1981-1985

This series consists of a wide range of folders based on subjects such as specific Cabinet agencies and departments, and Fuller’s particular interests in space commercialization and automation. They are arranged alphabetically.

SERIES V: DEPARTMENT SUMMARY REPORTS, 1981-1982

This series consists of monthly reports from agencies for January 1981-October 1982. The series also contains Summaries of Major Accomplishments by Department from January 1981- December 1982. There is a gap in these reports from September 1981-December 1981.

SERIES VI: MEETING NOTES, 1981-1985

This series consists of handwritten notes from various meetings and telephone conversations.

SERIES VII: CORRESPONDENCE

This series consists of incoming correspondence, chronological files, personal correspondence files, invitations to Fuller, and printouts from word processing diskettes.

SERIES VIII: KAREN HART MATERIAL

This series consists of material relating to administrative matters for the Office of Cabinet Affairs including scheduling White House tours; recapping mess expenses, travel and office expenses; requests for photographs and autographs; scheduling meetings; subscription renewals; entering addresses into computerized name lists; and handling resumes. There is also some specific subject material being handled, filed or retained by Ms. Hart. This material relates to the Knoxville and Louisiana World’s Fairs; casein imports, rent control, a complaint about the census, the coal slurry pipeline; the Times Beach, MO dioxin clean up; and talking points for Craig Fuller’s management seminars for SES employees at various agencies. In the 1984 folders, it was clear some of the subject material was simply not filed or being held for Fuller for a later date. It appears the material remained in the miscellaneous folders as both Fuller and Hart moved on to the Office of the Vice President in 1985. We have provided individual subject folders for this material. The series also contained Cabinet Meeting agendas and participant lists for January 1981-August 1982.

SERIES VIII: KAREN HART MATERIAL

SUBSERIES IX: APPROVED PRESIDENTIAL ACTIVITIES

SERIES X: CRAIG L. FULLER'S SCHEDULES, February-March 1985

This series consists of material relating to setting up scheduling and appointments activities involving the President. It is a very small amount of material covering about a year and a half in the first administration. It is arranged chronologically.

SERIES XI: BUSH TRIP SCHEDULING FILE, January 1984-March 1985

This series consists of material relating to Craig L. Fuller’s schedules for February 1985-March 1985. We were unable to locate any further scheduling material for Fuller within the Cabinet Affairs collections. It is arranged chronologically.

SERIES XII: PRESIDENT'S PRIVATE SECTOR SURVEY ON COST CONTROL

This series consists of typical advance work material for trips taken by Vice President Bush between January 1984 and March 1985. It also contains schedules, background information and meetings for the trips. This series marks the beginning of Fuller’s association with the Vice President. Fuller left the Office of Cabinet Affairs in early 1985 to become the Vice President’s Chief of Staff.

SERIES XIII: PUBLICATIONS 1981-1985

This series consists of a small amount of material relating to setting up the Survey and the follow through on implementing the recommendations and possible savings involved. It also contains a complete set of the Survey reports organized by agencies, departments and in some cases specific functions such as management and automation. This Survey is commonly referred to as the Grace Commission.
