Description:

From the Sub-Series:

Briefing books from 1971 and 1972 concern scheduling, delegate selection, political issues, and Richard Nixon. Briefing books are generally bound reports that summarize current information to be used by the candidate or staffer for quick reference. These contain Muskie's positions on various issues. He stood for provision of educational opportunities for low-income people, development of rural areas, protecting the consumer, protecting the environment (he co-sponsored the Clean Air Act of 1963); he wanted to end the military action in Vietnam; he worked for national health insurance, fair housing, and security for the elderly, and tax reform. Muskie's campaign staff and active members of the Maine Democratic Party are listed in these books.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
