City Council President Paul R. Screvane correspondence and subject files for 1962 to 1965

Accession ACC-1982-014. Unprocessed - RG 014. New York City Council

Description

Includes incoming and outgoing correspondence with non-governmental bodies, on a wide variety of subjects, from January 29, 1962 to November 8, 1965. Although this correspondence is written almost entirely in the name of Council President Screvane, the actual writer was Richard Tenton, listed in the Green Book as Assistant to the Council President. One file folder of carbon copies of outgoing correspondence dating from December 1964 to December 1965 (mostly August - December 1965) was written largely by Eileen R. Pessoni, Executive Secretary to the President, mainly over her own name. A small portion of this file was both drafted and signed by Screvane himself. The accession consists of two boxes of file folders containing roughly similar material (correspondence, memos, notes, reports, press releases, publications, etc.) of the same time period but apparently made up in two different offices, i.e. one box includes the letters A-C (Air pollution to Comptroller), the second [M]-Z (Mayor's Football Game to "XYZ") with each set of folders completely dissimilar in appearance. Arranged chronologically and then alphabetically.
