Also included in this newsletter is a report on Senator Nunn's freshman term. | |
| 1 | 2 | 1973 September - Volunteer Army Newsletter. This newsletter specifically addresses the problems the All-Volunteer Force is having.

The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Act of 1974 is one of the most important pieces of legislation that Congress passed since Senator Nunn entered the Senate in 1972.

There are many "uncontrollables," representing 75% of each year's spending, that are virtually automatic. Not until the "uncontrollables" are adjusted, and the U.S.'s spending priorities are tightened, will our nation be able to live within its means.

| 1 | 10 | 1978 May - Developing a Peaceful World Newsletter. It has become necessary for Americans to look at the growing threat posed by the relentless expansion of Soviet military power. The most prominent aspect of the Soviet military buildup has been in establishing new families of highly destructive and increasingly accurate strategic nuclear missiles. Tasks before the U.S. are to reverse present trends in the military balance and to restore to U.S. foreign policy the firmness and consistency required to deter the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from exploiting their military power. | |
| 1 | 11 | 1980 October - Organized Crime Newsletter. Senator Nunn, as Chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, turned his attention to organized crime, labor racketeering, and narcotics trafficking.

Series 6. Press Releases
1972-1996
31 boxes (ca. 10 linear feet)
Access Restrictions
Published materials, public statements and other previously released materials may be used by researchers. Any correspondence, memos, release drafts, and other materials not publicly released are restricted. The press releases currently available to researchers have been digitized and are available through this web site. (Click on any underlined release to retrieve it.)
Scope and Content Note
This series consists of press releases and associated background and research material. These files were maintained in the Press section by press secretaries (Roland McElroy, Ed Nagy, Scott Maxwell, Scott Williams and Cathy O'Brien). The files contain copies of press releases, drafts of press statements, some scheduling information, and, in several instances, transcripts of press interviews or other working notes. The press release files are a good source of scheduling information for the Senator's early years in office, because his public appearances and committee hearings were usually announced through a press release. These files also chronicle the military projects affecting Georgia in which Senator Nunn was involved.
The press release files, especially in the earlier days under Roland McElroy, appear to have been the primary file, where most documents were filed. For example, the press release files contain some of the most extensive information on Senator Nunn's position on the conflict in Vietnam, including a trip report from Senator Nunn's own visit to Vietnam.
Several speech files were removed from the press release file and refiled in the speech file prior to sending them to Emory.
Organization Note
Organized into four subseries: 1) First term, 1972-1978, 2) Second term, 1979-1984, 3) Third term, 1985-1990, and Fourth term, 1991-1996.

Series 10. Scrapbooks and news clippings
1970-1996
3 linear feet, 50 bound volumes, 8 reels of microfilm
Access Restrictions
Use is limited to microfilm for those scrapbooks that have been microfilmed.
Scope and Content Note
The scrapbooks were created by Senator Nunn's press section to document his political career. They contain news stories, letters to the editor, editorial cartoons and op ed pieces about Senator Nunn and op ed piece written by him. The articles are arranged chronologically. The first scrapbook documents Senator Nunn's first campaign for the Senate in 1972. The last one documents his activities in 1993. Articles from subsequent years were filed loose in folders rather than being glued into scrapbooks. The press staff assigned the scrapbooks volume numbers, which are noted on the volumes and in the list below. For preservation reasons, starting with the mid-1987 scrapbooks, photocopies of the articles were placed in the scrapbooks, rather than the original newspaper clippings. Many scrapbooks are very fragile, and most have articles and date labels falling out.
The scrapbooks were prepared using clippings obtained through a press clipping service. Since the service only supplied Georgia newspaper clippings, there are few national news stories. Wire services supplied many of the stories, and there are many identical or nearly identical articles clipped from different newspapers. Considering this duplication, the number of stories on a particular issue tends to indicate how widespread the Georgia coverage was, and not how long the story was considered newsworthy.
Scrapbooks covering the period from 1970 through May 1987 were sent to Emory prior to 1991. Most of these scrapbooks were microfilmed (35mm) by the Senate Microforms Unit. Kathy Dixson created a rough subject index to these volumes during the process of her research for the Sam Nunn exhibit in the Houston County Board of Education Building in Perry, Georgia. The press section created a subject index to the remaining volumes (June 1987 - January 1993) before sending them to Emory when Senator Nunn retired.
The clippings collected by the press section sometimes supplement (and duplicate) the clippings in the scrapbooks. At other times, clippings serve as a substitute for a scrapbook. Some clippings collected by the Senate staff were found in a filing cabinet in the archives section (perhaps being saved for a scrapbook) and in the press section. One folder of 1980-89 clippings (it is unknown which one) was compared with the scrapbook of the period and duplicates were removed. The other 1980-89 clippings were arranged by region. Most of the clippings from 1993-1995 were microfilmed and then destroyed by the Senate staff.
Clippings collected by the Special Collections staff were saved for staff reference. Many of these clippings have been photocopied and placed in the Sam Nunn archive reference file.
