Notes

Most references to archival collections and oral histories are by surname and are self-explanatory with reference to the bibliography. In a few cases, where several archival collections or several oral histories relating to the same person might cause confusion, other citations have been used as follows: All references to “JFK” or “LBJ” oral histories are to histories conducted by the respective presidential libraries, as listed in the bibliography. All references to “LOC” oral histories or archival collections are to materials in the Library of Congress, as listed in the bibliography. EGB Papers—Edmund G.
