Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers, 1921-1998, Ms 001, Lewis F.
Powell, Jr. Archives, Washington and Lee University,
Lexington, VA
Provenance
The portions of these papers, including personal and
family correspondence, created prior to Lewis F. Powell,
Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his
Hunton & Williams law firm office in the Electric
Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage
facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these
pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical
Society in August 1983.
In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his
biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor
John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his
decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee
University (W & L) to be housed in a specially
constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to
W & L, however, personal and professional papers, which
had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,
along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred
to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,
for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's
request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage
for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants
were allowed access to the papers during this period.
Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court
(1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage
room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part
of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was
allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most
part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court
opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law
Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries
were shipped to W & L on March 4, 1992.
Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound
volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton &
Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes
were kept in Lewis III's Hunton & Williams office until
February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries
at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W
& L law school when he had finished with them.
The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to
W & L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August
31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been
mailed from the court to W & L.
On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the
Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of
Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of
Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of
210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of
papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;
photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice
Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers
are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme
Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work
as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.
Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice
and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,
shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of
materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this
accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were
artifacts.
The papers resided at W & L School of Law under a
deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to
researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in
April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,
title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of
his will.
In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,
photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,
Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.
Artifacts from Powell's student days at W & L and from
his military service were included in this accession.

363 cu. ft. in extent.

Powell, Jr.
Scope and Content Information
The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers record the life of this
Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the
United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years
1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this
period)and document his legal career; military service in
World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and
professional organizations; and friendships and family
relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is
limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,
Hunton & Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,
Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of
the collection.

Organization
The papers are arranged in twelve subgroups. There are also
oversized materials that are housed separately for
preservation purposes. The first eleven subgroups represent
different aspects of Powell's life and career. The final
subgroup contains series of materials by form. These materials
had never been integrated into the preceding larger body of
papers. Most series are divided into subseries. Further
divisions beneath this level are common.

Separated Materials
Published materials, including monographs, serials,
pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice
Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home
library are stored separately from the papers. Many of
these publications bear hand-written author dedications to
Powell. Powell has annotated several of them. These
publications have been cataloged and classified and are
searchable through the Washington and Lee University online
public access catalog. There is also a
Contents List
- 1.0: Biographical Materials
1900-1995
The Biographical Materials fill two five-inch boxes.
The series Biographical & Historical Memoranda is of
special interest. Many of these memoranda express the
common theme of Powell's concern about historical
misinterpretation of his actions. This concern is most
strongly expressed in his memoranda dealing with the
desegregation of Richmond schools during his school
board presidency.

This series spans more years than any other
portion of the papers, covering the entire period
during which Powell practiced law.
This correspondence is arranged alphabetically
by correspondent, and chronologically
thereunder.
- 2.1.2: Subject Correspondence
1938-1971 Box: 11
Subject correspondence is a series dealing
primarily with topics rather than individuals.
These topics range from congratulatory and "get
well" correspondence to exchanges about national
defense, the interposition doctrine as espoused by
"massive resistors" of the 1950's, and atomic
energy contracts ("Dixon-Yates Controversy").
The "Interposition" file includes letters of
congratulations following Powell's January 16,
1956 Commonwealth Club debate with James J.
Kilpatrick, and a never mailed twelve page letter
to Virginia's Governor Stanley. This file
complements the 1956 interposition file in Series
2.4 (speeches, statements and writings) which
contains his never-published article on
interposition.
Also part of this subseries are letters
received in response to Powell's 1971 article,
published in the
Richmond Times
Dispatchand reprinted elsewhere, entitled
"Civil Repression: Fact Or Fiction." This was the
last piece he wrote for publication before his
nomination to the Supreme Court.

Contact the Powell Archives for details.
- 2.2.1:
Correspondence
- 2.2.1.1: Wife and Children
1942-1998
The subseries Correspondence is divided into
the following categories: a) with Powell's wife
and children b) about his children c) with his
parents, his stepmother, and his wife's family
d) with Powell's brother and sisters and their
spouses e) with other close relatives
The correspondence "a) With Wife and
Children" is further divided into separate
chronologically arranged files for his wife and
each of the children. There are also files
devoted to letters addressed to more than one
of the children.
The subseries of correspondence with
Powell's wife, Jo, includes World War II
letters along with a smattering from other
periods. The correspondence with the children
is extensive. Work forced Powell to be away
from home frequently. Even when working in
Richmond, his long hours sometimes limited his
contact with his family. Thus the letters--and
memoranda--to his children fill three cubic
feet. He never stinted on giving advice,
whether reviewing film of his son's baseball
batting stance, considering a daughter's choice
of dates, or setting down after school rules
for study and exercise. These letters mixing
expressions of his concern and advice with
equal amounts of pride and affection continued
with increased frequency as the children left
home for college and established their own
careers. When, in time, they married and had
children of their own, a new generation was
introduced to Powell's advice via
correspondence. His interest in and concern for
his children also accounts for the
correspondence "re children."
In addition to writing to each of his
children individually, Powell frequently wrote
letters addressed to all of the children and
their families during his tenure on the Supreme
Court. These letters, of course, reported news
about all of the children, their spouses, and
the grandchildren, and included unsolicited
advice to all. They served two other purposes,
as well. Because of his position on the Court,
Justice Powell no longer felt free to discuss
politics and world affairs with friends and
associates. He used these letters as safe and
confidential vehicles to vent his opinions on
social and political matters. The letters also
form a kind of diary of Powell's time in
Washington. He emphasized the social aspects of
his and Mrs. Powell's life. A typical letter
might include an account of a White House state
dinner, a listing of Mrs. Powell's club
activities and the names of neighbors and
dignitaries who had recently dined in the
Powells' apartment. Though he never divulged
his or the court's thinking on pending cases,
he distributed slip opinions to all of the
children after decisions were announced. (He
discussed his Supreme Court opinions at greater
length in correspondence addressed individually
to Molly and, especially, to Lewis during their
respective times in law school.) He did
occasionally discuss personalities on the
court, and his basic approach to deciding
cases.

1936-1988 Box: 14
The Subject Files are dominated by
correspondence and records concerning Bear Island,
a plantation in Hanover County, Virginia that had
been the childhood home of Powell's mother, Mary
Lewis Gwathmey. Powell spent much time there as a
child, as did his children, in their turn. Later
it served as a family retreat and gathering place.
Powell's painful--and later regretted--decision to
sell this property is extensively documented here.
Also present in this subseries are records of the
Powells' 1969 African safari, including Josephine
R. Powell's diary of the experience.

Note:Permission of
the archivist is required before using these
records.
In addition to general records, the "Financial
and Legal Papers" include files specifically about
contributions, insurance, investments, real estate
holdings, bank borrowing, tax returns, trusts and
wills. As one would expect, the "Memos to
Executors" that accompany Powell's wills contain
information on such subjects as Powell's complex
finances and his wife's separate estate. Also
present, however, are letters to his wife
expressing his hopes for his children's futures,
detailed funeral and burial plans, and mention of
some records management decisions he had made
concerning his Supreme Court papers.
The "Real Estate" records form the largest
portion of this subseries. Real property holdings
of Powell's wife and mother-in-law are treated
here, as are properties he owned jointly with his
wife. Properties he owned in his own right and
through his development company, Huguenot Land
Corporation, are also documented.
The "Trusts" deal with legal instruments for
both Powell's own family members, and the children
of Powell's World War II friend, Lowell P.
Weicker. Powell was the executor of the Weicker
trusts.

arrangements; and research materials.
A frequent public speaker throughout his career,
no one knows how many speeches Powell delivered. The
speeches and writings in this subseries--and
throughout these papers--should not be considered as
the complete body of Powell's work. References are
made throughout the papers to speeches not found
here. Certain other portions of these papers contain
speeches and informal talks which are not present in
this series. (See also: Speeches, Interviews and
Writings series in United States Supreme Court and
Retirement subgroups for speeches made after
1971.)
One folder containing lists of selected speeches
precedes the speeches themselves. These lists
represent at least three unpublished compilations of
Powell speeches. One was made just before Powell
became American Bar Association President-Elect. The
second was done immediately following Powell's ABA
Presidency. The last was assembled for his Supreme
Court nomination hearings.

Studies
1962-1996
Historical Studies & Interviews contains
materials from thirty years and more after Powell
left active service. The allies' ability to break the
German Ultra code remained a U.S. government security
classified secret until the mid-1970's. Powell never
spoke or wrote about these activities during this
period of secrecy. When the activities of Powell and
his cohorts became declassified public knowledge,
there followed a period of intense interest on the
part of the news media and historians.
Finally able to talk publicly, Powell eagerly
corresponded with historians and former associates.
He offered several authors extensive assistance and
granted oral history interviews in his Supreme Court
chambers. One of these projects culminated in the
publication of
Ultra and the Army Air Forces
in World War II. This work, subtitled An
Interview with Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme
Court Lewis F. Powell, Jr., was published by the
Office of Air Force History. Memoranda, notes and
diary entries from the first series of this subgroup
appear as appendices in this book.

- 4.0: Law Firm (Hunton & Williams)
Records
1945-1972 Box: 36-51
Though Powell spent thirty-eight years at Hunton
& Williams the subgroup, Law Firm (Hunton &
Williams) Records (5.5 cu. ft.), is not extensive. For
reasons of client confidentiality and corporate records
management, all of his client files remained with the
firm's records. (For records of Powell's lawyering, see
the civic and corporate series of the Board Memberships
subgroup.) What can be found here is a small series of
correspondence on two specific topics, memoranda, a
forms file containing exemplar legal documents, some few
firm financial statements, and "housekeeping" records.
This last mentioned series contains what are potentially
the most interesting materials in the subgroup. The
"Time Tickets, 1956-1971" form a record of how Powell
expended his billable and pro bono hours. His personal
calendars show his appointments from 1949 to 1971.

The subgroup Professional Associations (35 cu. ft.)
contains Powell's files concerning his memberships, and
the offices he held, in a variety of legal
associations.
- 5.1: American Bar Association
1937-1971 Box: 52-81
American Bar Association includes records from the
time Powell joined the ABA's Junior Bar Conference in
1937 until he joined the Supreme Court. His extensive
committee work records, alone, run some nine feet.
Powell's service in a variety of offices is
documented here. These include: chairman of the
Junior Bar Conference; member of the House of
Delegates and Board of Governors; president-elect;
and president. There is also a long run of general
correspondence from 1952 to 1971.
Among the voluminous committee records, those
pertaining to the Economics of Law Practice Committee
are especially notable. Powell had a career long
interest in improving law firm management, as can be
seen in several of his speeches. The first ABA
Lawyer's Handbook was published under Powell's
chairmanship of this committee.
The campaign that made Powell president-elect was
hard fought, as had been his first election for the
House of Delegates. It is interesting to note the
similarities between the meticulous planning and the
gathering of endorsements in these campaigns, and the
later preparation for his Supreme Court nomination
hearings. Powell may have learned important lessons
in his work on the ABA presidential campaigns on
behalf of his fellow Washington & Lee alumnus and
friend Ross Malone. Records from these Malone
campaigns are present, as well.
Powell's presidential papers are dominated by
documentation of the agenda he brought to this
office: legal ethics reform, legal services to the
poor and the establishment of standards for the
administration of criminal justice. During his time
in the ABA's top office, he also played a vital role
in passage of the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the
Constitution regarding presidential disability and
succession.
Powell also used his influence in the ABA as an
opportunity to promote the establishment in schools
and colleges of educational programs about communism.
This is reflected, not only in his presidential
papers, but throughout his ABA records. In 1961,
Powell introduced a resolution in the House of
Delegates calling for "adequate instruction in the
history, doctrines, objectives and techniques of
Communism." He chaired the special committee
established to implement this resolution. In 1962,
this committee published the pamphlet "Instruction on
Communism and Its Contrast With Liberty Under Law."
All of this is extensively documented here.
Powell made hundreds of speeches as
president-elect and president. He had these bound
into two record volumes which are in this subseries.
Volume II includes clippings. Hundreds of additional,
loose clippings are here, as well.

American College of Trial Lawyers series is
similar in content and arrangement to the ABF series.
A significant difference is that the papers from
Powell's time as president of this organization
(1969-1970) are not segregated from those concerning
his general membership. Subseries include:
correspondence, 1958-1971; committees; meetings;
subject files; and printed materials.

correspondence and a dozen case files. Attorney
General Tom Clark appointed Powell Special Assistant
to the Attorney General to act in the Eastern
District of Virginia as Hearing Officer under section

- 6.4: President's Commission On Law
Enforcement and Administration of Justice
1965-1967 Box: 89-90
President's Commission On Law Enforcement and
Administration of Justice(1.75 cu.ft.) begins with a
record volume comprising correspondence, memoranda,
report drafts, and a printed copy of the supplemental
statement to the commission's report. Some of the
contents of this volume are duplicated in the unbound
records that follow. These other records include
subseries of correspondence, memoranda, notes,
chapter drafts of the report, drafts of the
supplemental statement and a printed version of the
report. Miscellaneous documents, printed materials,
and clippings complete the series.
Based on the awareness of the crime problem that
Powell had articulated in many of his speeches as ABA
President, President Johnson appointed Powell to this
commission. Though this diverse committee agreed on
many solutions to the crime problem, there were
differences among the commissioners. Powell's
differing views on the questions of wire tapping and
certain Supreme Court decisions led to his drafting
of the "Supplemental Statement on Constitutional
Limitations," published over the names of seven
commission members.
Powell anticipated criticism of the
inconsistencies between the views expressed in his
work on this commission and some of his Supreme Court
opinions. In an annotation (written after Powell was
appointed to the Supreme Court) to the introduction
to the record volume in this series he wrote, "When I
accepted appointment to this Commission I knew little
criminal law as I never practiced it . . . and some
of my views have changed."

- 6.5: Blue Ribbon Defense Panel
1969-1970 Box: 91-92
Blue Ribbon Defense Panel (1.66 cu.ft.) contains
the records of Powell's service on the commission
President Nixon created to recommend reforms in the
structure and operation of the Pentagon. It was to
evaluate the organization and management of the
Department of Defense, but not delve into questions
of broad national policy. This body was formed in the
face of mounting criticism of cost overruns in
weapons systems and the stalemate in Vietnam.
As in his work on the crime commission, Powell
expressed his views separately from those of the
panel's report. This time these expressions took two
forms. The first was Powell's thirty-five page
statement (signed by seven of the sixteen panelists),
"Shifting Balance of Military Power." Drafts and
three different printed versions are included in
subseries 5.5(c) "Supplemental Statement." The other
separate expression was Powell's reaction to the war
in Vietnam. This was sent confidentially to President
Nixon as the memorandum, "Political Warfare." A draft
and final version are included under that title in
the 5.4 Subject Files. (Another copy is in the
"Speeches, Statements and Writings" series of the II.
Personal Papers).
Forms of materials which make up this subseries
include: correspondence; memoranda; notes; subject
files; drafts and printed versions of the report; and
printed materials. The Commission's Southeast Asian,
European and NORAD inspection trips are documented in
the subject files.

1947-1957 Box: 93
Made up of correspondence; speeches and
statements; lists of persons who testified about the
charter; and clippings. Powell's service on this
commission was his only venture into electoral
politics. Richmond had an ineffective form of
government based on a federal model--a bicameral city
council and a mayor with veto power. State law
authorized the election of a charter commission to
propose a new form of government, to be submitted to
the electorate by referendum. Powell was elected to
the Commission and chosen as chairman by his fellow

proposed by the commission was enacted by referendum
on November 7, 1947.

1950-1962 Box: 94-95
Anyone delving into the Richmond School Board
series with the hope of finding thorough
documentation of the desegregation of Richmond public
schools, or of Powell's contemporaneous thoughts on
desegregated education, is bound to be disappointed.
There is documentation of the desegregation struggle,
but it is mostly limited to newspaper clippings.
There is expression of Powell's thinking on race, but
it is mostly from the perspective of a 1975 Supreme
Court Justice, whose social views had markedly
changed in the intervening decades.
Like the other parts of this series, the bulk of
the contents of the record volume are devoted to the
budgetary process, teacher salaries, raising the
quality of education and the inclusion of education
against communism in the school curriculum. Powell
speeches on educational matters are also present.
The titles of the various parts of the
correspondence subseries mirror interests and
activities noted in the record volume: General;
Course on International Communism; Report on Trip to
Russia; and Speech to Richmond Public School
Teachers. The "Trip to Russia," in the subseries
title above, was Powell's visit in the summer of 1958
with a delegation of lawyers representing the
American Bar Association. They attended conferences
and exchanged views with Soviet lawyers and judges.
Upon his return, Powell spoke and wrote about his
experiences in a variety of settings. The same month
he returned from this trip, August 1958, he reported
to the Richmond School Board. The Board published the
report in pamphlet form under the title, "Soviet
Education--A Means Towards World Domination: Report
on Trip to Soviet Union (July - August 1958)." The
"Trip to Russia" correspondence consists of cover
letters which accompanied some of the distributed
copies of the reports and thank you letters from
recipients of the report.
There are also subseries of speeches, statements,
subject files, printed materials and clippings. The
folder titles in the container list for the speeches,
statements and subject files generally reveal their
contents. The "Desegregation--General" subject file
consists mostly of speeches and statements by persons
other than Powell. The "Desegregation--Chandler
School" subject file contains correspondence from
homeowners living near that school. There is no
record here of the debate at which Powell silenced
the crowd trying to prevent black attorney Oliver
Hill from speaking. The "Desegregation--Lawsuits"
file contains documents regarding legal actions taken
by "certain Negro children and their parents" in
which the school board was named.
The "Publications by Richmond Public Schools"
include: City of Richmond Superintendent of Schools
annual reports for the years 1950, 1951 and 1954; and
the pamphlet, "Quality in Education: A National
Necessity," the printed version of Powell's February
1958 address to Richmond Public School teachers.

concern notices of, and preparations for upcoming
meetings.
- 7.6: Virginia Industrialization
Group
1958-1964 &
1980 Box: 96
Four inches of correspondence and memoranda from
Powell's membership in this private group of
businessmen organized to promote industrial
development in the state. Also included is a June
1980 informal history of the group documenting its
role in opposing massive resistance. This was written
by the group's former chairman--and former Norfolk
and Western Railway Company president--Stuart
Saunders.
Realizing that few businesses would come to
Virginia until the school crisis was resolved, the
group held a dinner meeting on December 19, 1958,
attended by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and
Attorney General, at which the relationship of the
school crisis to industrial development was
discussed. Though Powell was out of town at the time
of the meeting, his memorandum of December 15, 1958
to Saunders and vice- chairman J. Harvie Wilkinson
suggested how the group's presentation to the high
state officials should proceed.

One folder of correspondence. The topic of most of
the letters is fund raising.
- 7.8: Virginia State Board of
Education
1961-1969 Box: 97
One foot of correspondence, speeches, subject
files, printed materials and clippings from Powell's
service on this board. Powell shared the board's
interest in many areas including: raising the level
of public education, the role of public television in
the classroom, continuing education of teachers and
research in education. All of these topics are
documented here.
As President of the State Board of Education in
the socially tumultuous year of 1968, Powell wrote
the pamphlet, "Citizenship Education as Law;
Disorder, Extremism and Civil Disobedience." It was
published and distributed by the board as part of the
Citizenship Education Project initiated by Powell.
Included here are correspondence, minutes and
documentation of the "Citizenship Education
Project."
As in the Richmond School Board papers, the area
of racial desegregation, which formed the backdrop to
this entire period, is only lightly documented here.
As the Virginia General Assembly had directed the
state board to authorize local school boards to
resume control of pupil placement, few records
concerning desegregation were created by state board
members.
The subject file "Prince Edward County School
Board Suit" does involve state board action in
desegregation. This file includes a 1961 memorandum
prepared by Powell's Hunton & Williams law firm
partner George C. Freeman, Jr. This document is
notable for two reasons. The topic, "The State Board
of Education's Power to Operate Free Public Schools
In Localities Where Local School Boards Cannot or
Will Not Continue To Operate Them" suggests that
Powell considered the idea of circumventing the
General Assembly's local school board option policy.
The memorandum is also interesting as an early
example of the reliance Powell would come to have on
his law firm partners in areas beyond the conduct of
Hunton & Williams business. In drafting his
American Bar Association presidential speeches, in
his work on the revision of the Virginia
Constitution, and in preparation for hearings on his
Supreme Court nomination, the counsel of his law
partners informed his public statements and
writings.
On July 1, 1964, Powell was part of the unanimous
vote to extend the deadline for state tuition grants
for children attending private, all-white schools.
His handwritten revisions to the draft of the minutes
of this meeting show Powell's anticipation of the
criticism that he and the board were to receive for
taking this action.

2.5 inches of chronologically arranged
correspondence about Powell's service on this body
which helped plan and carry out a 750th anniversary
celebration at the College of William & Mary in
May 1965. Powell gave a speech at this event. Though
there is overlap in the documentation, this event is
not to be confused with the 750th anniversary
celebration of Magna Carta which took place in
England a month later. Powell attended that event as
President of the ABA and also spoke on that occasion.
Documentation of this later event and speech are
located in the American Bar Association series.
Publications that Powell read in preparing these two
speeches can be found in series "14.3.7 --Magna
Carta."
- 7.10: Commission On Constitutional
Revision (Virginia)
1968-1971 Box: 99-100
Consists of two feet of papers and records
concerning Powell's work as a member of this
commission charged with the task of thoroughly
revising the 35,000 word 1902 constitution. Included
in this series are: general correspondence and
memoranda; "public comment" correspondence and
memoranda; memoranda from the Commission's executive
director, A.E. Dick Howard (additional Howard
correspondence concerning the Commission is in the
general correspondence subseries of the Personal
Papers subgroup); Powell's handwritten meeting notes;
subcommittee files; drafts and text of the new
constitution; and printed materials and
clippings.
The commission worked in subcommittees and Powell,
and his fellow State Board of Education member,
Colgate Darden, were assigned to the subcommittee on
education. It is clear from inspecting these papers,
however, that Powell had significant input in several
other areas, most notably taxation. (Virginia's
pressing need to be able to borrow money more easily
was an important force behind undertaking the
revision at that time.) In fact, there are few
records about education in these papers and none
specifically about the work of the education
subcommittee. Powell and Darden's work can be seen in
the drafts of the constitution in which the State
Board of Education is given a greater role in setting
standards, and in which cities and counties are
required to keep their schools open.

- 8: Board Memberships
1937-1994
The subgroup Board Memberships contains records and
papers concerning many of the numerous civic,
educational and corporate boards to which Powell
belonged. Powell served as counsel--often pro bono or at
reduced hourly fees--for many of the civic organizations
of which he was a board member. He served as general
counsel to several of the corporations whose boards he
would later join. As a result, records of some actions
taken by Powell as legal representative were interfiled
with records of his board membership. As previously
mentioned, all other files concerning clients
represented by Powell are retained by Hunton &
Williams. This subgroup, therefore, is at least as
important for its documentation of Powell's lawyering as
it is in recording his work as a board member. In
addition to representing these firms in specific
actions, in nearly every instance Powell was involved in
revising basic organizational documents, especially
charters and bylaws. He resigned from all corporate
boards when his nomination to the Supreme Court was
confirmed.

Subseries "8.1.3 Richmond Memorial Hospital" is
especially noteworthy as Powell was one of the
incorporators of the hospital, in addition to serving
as counsel and trustee. One of his most significant
appellate cases involved the hospital. City of
Richmond v. Richmond Memorial Hospital established
the tax exempt status under Virginia law of
community-type hospitals. This case is extensively
documented in the papers.

became a Powell client in 1950. In 1962
Albemarle's president, Floyd Gottwald, entered
into negotiations to purchase the much larger
Ethyl Corporation. In what is considered to be one
of the first corporate leveraged buy outs,
Powell's team of attorneys completed the merger on
November 30, 1962. The newly combined company took
the name Ethyl Corporation.

- 9.1: Virginia Democrats For
Eisenhower,
1952-1956
Series 9.1 Virginia Democrats for Eisenhower,
1952-1956; .5 cu. ft. includes: correspondence;
statements, notes and drafts of speeches; campaign
organization materials; and printed materials and
memorabilia. Subseries 9.1.1 Correspondence,
1952-1953, contains evidence of Powell's planning of
radio programs; aid in precinct and block
organization; correspondence with members of the
media; and advice on Eisenhower television
appearances. Documentation found here shows Powell's
prescient awareness of the power of the then young
television medium in political campaigns. His notes
and drafts in other parts of this series demonstrate
that he also was aware of the power of negative
campaign advertising. By October 1952, Powell
confesses that his involvement in the campaign allows
him to practice law "only three or four hours per
day."
Subseries 9.1.3 Notes and Drafts of Speeches
contains mostly handwritten notes dealing with the
1953 general election in Richmond and surrounding
counties, and with the 1956 Presidential Campaign.
Logistics for a visit to Richmond by President
Eisenhower are also found here. The subseries 9.1.6
Printed Materials contains campaign literature from
both the 1952 and 1956 Presidential elections.

Supreme Court prior to his actual appointment. Thus,
Series 10.1 Papers re Nomination and Confirmation,
1968-1971; 4 cu. ft., begins three years prior to his
joining the Court. Subseries 10.1.1 Pre-appointment
includes both general correspondence about the
consideration of Powell as a candidate for the Court,
and papers related to Powell's advocacy on behalf of
Clement F. Haynsworth, Jr. for Supreme Court
appointment in 1969.
The correspondence includes letters to Powell
urging him to accept a nomination if offered and
Powell's consistent reply that he did not want this
position. There are also copies of letters that
supporters had sent to President Nixon urging
Powell's appointment. Included here is Powell's
December 12, 1969 letter to Attorney General John N.
Mitchell stating that he did not want to be
considered for the Supreme Court.
The Haynsworth materials consist primarily of
Powell correspondence attempting to rally support for
the confirmation. The materials also include letters
to legislators who had announced their opposition to
Haynsworth's nomination in an attempt to change their
minds.
The remainder of this series deals with Powell's
October 1971 nomination and his December 1971 Senate
confirmation hearings. Included here are subseries of
correspondence, memoranda, subject files, printed
materials and clippings.
The correspondence includes categories of: general
correspondence; congratulatory correspondence for
both nomination and confirmation; letters of
endorsement; resignations from corporate boards
following confirmation; and crank letters. The
letters of endorsement, and the memoranda concerning
these letters, document the extent to which Orison
Marden, Ross Malone, and Whitney North Seymour--like
Powell, all ABA past presidents-- organized the
state-by-state solicitation of letters supporting
Powell's nomination from members of the bar.
The memoranda include general memos and others on
such subjects as the letters of endorsement and
Powell's personal data statement. The data statement
file contains both Joe Carter's reply to Attorney
General Mitchell's request for information on Powell,
and Powell's reply to Counsel to the President John
W. Dean, III's questionnaire. Attachments listing
corporate clients and detailing personal finances are
also here. Later additions to this series are two
separate Powell retrospectives (1975 and 1981)
recounting the events leading to his nomination and
his halting acceptance.
The subject files contain evidence of the
thoroughgoing preparation made by Powell and his team
of Hunton & Williams attorneys (primarily Joe
Carter, George C. Freeman, Jr., John Shenefield and
Allen Goolsby) in preparation for the Senate
confirmation hearings. Powell and his team gathered
and disseminated endorsements; prepared memoranda on
anything in Powell's background that might come under
close Senate scrutiny; and sought advice concerning
the restructuring of Powell's investments.
The printed materials are two copies of the
published transcripts of the Rehnquist and Powell
confirmation hearings. A foot-and-a-half of clippings
about Powell's nomination and confirmation complete
this series.

See listing of correspondents.
This subseries (14 cu. ft.)can be seen as a
continuation of the Personal Papers,
1929-1987--Series 2.1.1 GeneralCorrespondence,
1932-1971. Like that earlier series, this
correspondence ranges widely in correspondents and
subjects. Unlike the earlier letters, Powell is
much more reticent to give opinions on political
and legal matters because of his position on the
Supreme Court. Many exchanges with the same
correspondents continue on from the earlier
series.
- 10.2.2: Chief Justice and
Associate Justices Box: 129
See correspondence index.
This subseries contains three kinds of
correspondence with and about Powell's fellow
justices: correspondence with the Chief Justice;
correspondence with the other Associate Justices;
and correspondence about William O. Douglas'
retirement. The correspondence with Chief Justice
Burger is extensive, filling half-a-foot of shelf
space. These letters cover a range of topics from
the Court Christmas Party to the assignment of
cases. The origins of the "cert pool," a
distributive way of reviewing cases for potential
hearing, are treated here. Other topics include
the selection of clerks; Justices' salaries and
benefits; and an array of personal and
administrative matters.

1972-1987
Subject Files, 10 cubic feet, contains files in
three categories: general; those concerning specific
court business; and records of Powell's entertaining
in the Supreme Court Building.
- 10.4.1: General
The "General" subject files treat a variety of
subject matters. A small amount of the
correspondence centers around dealings with
individuals on specific topics. Other
correspondence continues his longtime relations
with associations including the American Bar
Association, the American Bar Foundation and
Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Correspondence
regarding the clubs to which he belonged is also
present. Research files for possible speeches are
here, as are housekeeping records like address
files. Files on specific topics not related to the
Court, such as Powell's published memorandum
entitled "Attack On American Free Enterprise
System," are here, as well. Fully half-a-foot of
papers concerning media criticism is here. His
response to an erroneous report by CBS news
correspondent and Powell friend, Fred Graham, is
part of this portion of the subject files. He
corresponded, and kept a clipping file, about the
controversial book about the Supreme Court,
The Brethren.

This subseries contains subject files about
day-to-day Court administration and operation.
Included here is almost a foot of files on
Powell's service on the Court's budget committee.
There is an equal amount of documentation
concerning disqualification problems. These files
deal with actual and potential conflicts of
interest concerning cases that Powell might have
heard as a member of the Supreme Court. The
conflicts primarily involved Hunton & Williams
retained clients, and companies in which Powell
had investments.
A third portion of this subseries is
approximately a foot of material related to the
Ethics in Government Act of 1978, which required
detailed financial disclosure by federal judges.
The resolution of conflicts between compliance
with the Disqualification Act of 1974 and this
newer law is documented here.
The "Word Processing Committee" files, along
with the related "Linda Blandford" file, reveal
the role of Justice Powell in automating the
drafting and printing of opinions within the
court. Powell saw to it that Ms. Blandford, a
secretary in his chambers, was recognized and
compensated for her role in the development of
Atex, the Court's first automated information
system.
There is extensive documentation of Powell's
service on the committee that reviewed Supreme
Court rules, and the commission that examined the
workload of the National Court of Appeals system.
Correspondence with Supreme Court officers such as
the Chief Deputy Clerk, the Marshal's Office and
the Social Secretary of the Court are also found
here.
Though Justice Powell refrained from making
public or private statements about Court opinions,
there is a file present entitled "Correspondence
as to Court Opinions." Powell's side of the
correspondence is primarily to say that Justices
generally do not comment on cases. See see the
correspondence at 10.2.1 with such trusted friends
as Colgate Darden, Paul Freund, Gerald Gunther and
Anthony Lewis for substantive discussions of
cases.

The mutual bond between Justice Powell and his
clerks, was maintained through the annual clerks'
reunion. These reunions included a dinner in the
Supreme Court Building and brunch at the Alibi
Club. The plans for these occasions dominate this
subseries. There are also papers relating to the
several dinners that Jo and Lewis Powell hosted at
the Supreme Court Building for the other Justices
and their spouses.

1972-1987 Box:
146-286
See listing of case files in Excel spreadsheet format.
The series Case Files include most of the cases
in which writs of certiorari were granted(i.e.,
cases the court agreed to hear) during Powell's
fifteen and one half years on the court. Cases not
documented are those from which Powell recused
himself or those in which he did not participate
because of absence from the court due to illness.
In all, there are approximately 2500 cases (140
cu.ft.) here. Powell wrote in some 500 opinions.
In about half of these cases, Powell wrote the
majority opinion. The remainder were concurring
and dissenting opinions.
It is important to note that most cases in
which writs of certiorari were denied or which
were disposed of by per curium order are most
often not documented here except as they are
mentioned in the "order lists" discussed below.
Records of these cases were destroyed in routine
records maintenance by order of Justice
Powell.
The files are arranged by Supreme Court terms.
Note, however, that cases are often granted
certiorari during one term, but decided in the
next term. (Thus case 82-206 is found in October
Term 1983 -- the term during the decision in the
case was announced.) Additionally special
application cases -- often involving stays of
execution -- are found in each term. Cases for
which the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction
- - cases which come directly to the Court without
having been heard in a lower court -- are also
included.
The documentation for each case varies from one
thin folder to almost 2 feet of materials for the
Bakke case. Forms of materials include: "pool"
memoranda, docket sheets noting certiorari votes;
bench memoranda prepared by clerks; bench notes
from the hearing of oral arguments; notes from the
Justices' private conferences; inter-chamber
correspondence; drafts of opinions; printing of
draft opinions; and printed "slip" opinions. News
clippings were sometimes added to the files by
Powell chambers staff.
The files are arranged by Supreme Court terms
which begin each October and typically end in June
(e.g., a decision announced at the end of October
Term 1975 would be rendered in May or June 1976).
Within each term, the cases are arranged by
Supreme Court docket number.
- 10.6.2: Ancillary Case File
Materials
- 10.6.2.1: General
Correspondence and Memoranda,
1972-1973 &
1981 Box:
286A
These files are all anomalies. There is one
file each on: cases for possible reargument;
correspondence and a memorandum re cases denied
certiorari or decided per curium; certiorari
memos for denied cases; correspondence and
memoranda about a number of obscenity cases;
and memoranda and notes from a September 28,
1981 conference on three Georgia capital
cases.
- 10.6.2.2: Memoranda Re Stay
Applications,
1972-1981 Box:
286B-286C
These memoranda were prepared for Justice
Powell by his clerks or other Supreme Court
clerks. The clerks briefed Powell on the facts
and merits of the applications and made
recommendations for action.
- 10.6.2.3: Order Lists,
1972-1986 Box:
286D-286G
These files contain listings of cases
considered for certiorari or appeal, and
applications for admission to the Supreme Court
Bar. Brief summaries of actions are often
included. Copies of the Court's printed
certiorari decisions with comments and dissents
are also found in these files.
- 10.6.2.4: Annotated Slip
Opinions,
1973-1990 Box:
286H
These are some forty five Supreme Court slip
opinions that Justice Powell annotated as he
read or re-read them. Nine of these are from
after Powell retired from the Court.
- 10.6.2.5: Card Index to Case
Files,
1972-1987 Box:
286I-286M
This card index, keyed to the names in case
titles, was created by Powell secretary Sally
Smith. It is a cumulative index and is arranged
alphabetically.
- 10.7: Speeches, Writings, and
Interviews
1972-1987 Box: 287-302
The series Speeches, Writings and Interviews, 16
cu. ft., includes the subseries: "Bound Speeches,
1971-1989," "Speech Files, 1972-1987," and "Speech
Materials". The "Speech Materials" are memoranda,
clippings and other printed materials arranged by
subject. These were used for speech ideas and factual
documentation.
The "Speech Files" include: drafts and reading
copies of Powell speeches; research materials used in
preparing an address; correspondence preceding and
following the speech; and records concerning lodging
and travel.
- 10.7.1: Bound,
1971-1989 Box: 288
There are three volumes divided by years as
follows: 1971-1977; 1977-1984; & 1985-1989.
The last volume contains several years of Powell's
retirement from the Court. Each volume has a table
of contents. Volume one includes an introduction
by Powell. All but a handful of the bound speeches
are duplicated in the Speech Files section below.
The Speech Files, by contrast, contain many
speeches not included in the bound volumes.
