Biographical note

Maurice H. Stans was born at Shakopee, Minnesota, on March 22, 1908, the son of J. Hubert and Mathilda Nyssen Stans. He was graduated from Shakopee High School in 1925. The same year he began work as a stenographer and bookkeeper for a Chicago importer while attending evening classes at Northwestern University. In 1928 he joined the Chicago-based firm of Alexander Grant and Company, certified public accountants, and continued his part-time studies at Columbia University while working at the firm's New York City office. He was executive partner of Alexander Grant from 1940 to 1955.

Stans is a certified public accountant and a member of various accountants' organizations. He served as president of the American Institute of Accountants, 1954-1955.

Stans entered government service during the Dwight D. Eisenhower administration, and held the positions of financial management consultant to the Post Office Department, 1953-1955; deputy postmaster general, October 1955 - September 15, 1957; deputy director of the Bureau of the Budget, September 16, 1957 - March 17, 1958; and director of the Bureau of the Budget, March 18, 1958 - January 1961.

During 1961 and 1962, Stans was president of Western Bancorporation in Los Angeles, California, and author of a syndicated newspaper column on business and economic concerns. In 1963 he joined the investment banking firm of William R. Staats, Inc. He served as president of the firm, which later became Glore Forgan, William R. Staats, Inc., until President Richard M. Nixon appointed him secretary of commerce in December, 1968.

From 1961 to 1966, Stans also worked with the Republican Party in various capacities: assisting Republican members of Congress in evaluating the federal budget, chairing the party's Task Force on Federal Fiscal and Monetary Policies, and working on the financial organization aspect of Nixon's 1962 and 1968 political campaigns. In 1965 and 1966 he participated in several groups that underwrote expenses incurred by Nixon while on speaking tours and campaigning for Republican congressional candidates.

Stans served as secretary of commerce from January, 1969 to February, 1972, when he resigned to head the Finance Committee to Re-elect the President. In the wake of the Watergate scandals of 1972-1973, he was accused of accepting illegal campaign contributions and of exchanging political favors for large donations. In June, 1973, he appeared before the Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities (the "Watergate Committee") and pleaded with the committee to "give me back my good name." Shortly thereafter, he, former attorney general John Mitchell, and two other Finance Committee for the Re-election of the President officials were indicted on three counts of attempting to interfere with the due administration of justice, one count of concealing knowledge of wrong-doing from the proper authorities, and six counts of perjury. These allegations were connected with political contributions from Robert L. Vesco, a businessman who was then under investigation by the Securities Exchange Commission. The defendants were accused of trying to intervene with the SEC on Vesco's behalf in return for Vesco's contributions to Nixon's re-election campaign. Mitchell and Stans stood trial in New York City in the spring of 1974 and were acquitted on all counts. A year later Stans pleaded guilty to five minor charges of nonwillfully accepting illegal contributions in the 1972 campaign, and was fined.

Stans has been a trustee of Pomona College and the Tax Foundation, a benefactor of the Children's Nature Museum of York County, the director of numerous companies, and president of the Stans Foundation. He married Kathleen Carmody in 1933, and had four adopted children.

Maurice H. Stans died in 1990.

The above sketch was taken from the Stans Papers and from Who's Who in America, 1969. See also Stans' book, The Terrors of Justice.

Scope and contents

Papers pertaining to the career of a Shakopee (Minn.) businessman and U.S. Cabinet official who served as director of the Bureau of the Budget (1958-1961), Secretary of Commerce (1969-1972), and head of the finance arm of the Committee for the Re-election of the President (1972).

Papers include office files from Stans' service in the Bureau of the Budget and Commerce Department; personal correspondence and financial records; files on his various corporate directorships and philanthropic activities; appointment, invitation, speech, and travel files; scrapbooks; memorabilia; and a variety of files and trial materials stemming from the post-1972 election "Watergate" scandals and Stan's involvement in the civil suits that followed. Source material and notes for Stans' two books, Terrors of Justice (1978) and Between the Lines of History, are also included.

Arrangement

The Stans Papers are divided into groups based on stages of his career, types of materials, or time of receipt. Each group is composed of a number of different series. Because later acquisitions have not been fully integrated into files received earlier, and because some series of materials cover a wide span of years, there is considerable overlap among the groups.

The papers are arranged in the following groups:

		Personal Papers
		Scrapbooks, Bound Volumes, Sound and Visual Materials, Memorabilia
		Department of Commerce Files
		Department of Commerce and Personal Files
		1972 Campaign: Fundraising and Legal Files, Watergate
		Oral History Interview Transcripts
		Book Source Material and Notes, Tax Records, Subject Files
		Oversize Items

Financial and investment records

This series of financial records is divided into the following groups: Investments, income tax returns, and account books.
Investments (Alphabetical files): Stans's investments in oil wells in the 1950's; his land investments in the 1960's; his dealings with the B.P. John Furniture Corporation; investments made for Kathleen Stans; the affairs of Alexander Grant and Co.; Western Bancorporation; William R. Staats, and Glore Forgan William R. Staats. Audit reports, account books, invoices, partnership agreements, other contractual agreements, records of stock transactions, prospectuses, and inter-office memoranda of the firms in which Stans worked are all included. The Stans Foundation, the Stans Carefree Trust, the Kathleen C. Stans Trusts, and the Stans Trust with the U.S. Trust Company are also incorporated into this series. The correspondence is arranged alphabetically by name of company. In the case of the oil well investments, the files are under the name of the drilling company, not of the well. All correspondence is in reverse chronological order within the folders.
Income tax returns: Federal and state income tax returns and supporting data for each return, mostly pertaining to oil well production, securities transactions, and the various partnerships in which Stans was engaged. Tax returns for these partnerships are often included. There is also some information about legal battles between Stans and the IRS.
Account books: Journals, cash books, and ledgers, dating from 1925.

Speeches and articles

In this section are speeches, articles, press conferences, interviews, reports, pamphlets, book chapters, Congressional testimony, and panel discussions, 1939-1969.
The subjects covered can most easily be summarized by time periods.
1939-1955: Accounting practice; the accounting profession, including disagreements with lawyers regarding tax practice; accounting aspects of the insurance business; and other business and financial topics.
1955-1957:(Deputy Postmaster General). Government financial management; Post Office Department administration, including postal reforms; the American free enterprise system.
1957-1960: (Director, Bureau of the Budget). The federal budget; the function of the Bureau of the Budget; government fiscal and monetary policies, including the dangers of inflation; and throughout, the themes of fiscal responsibility and free enterprise.
1961-1968: Most of the same subjects as 1957-1960, plus the trend of the public debt; reform of the federal budget; and attacks on the Keynesian "new economics." There are some items related to work with the Republican Party
Speeches, articles, and other items are found in bound volumes, in scrapbooks, and loose. See the Chronological List for information on individual items.
Loose copies generally cover the period 1942-1966. Most of the items are from May 5, 1961 to November 25, 1966; within these dates each occasion has its own folder. In general, for each occasion only one copy of a particular item has been retained. However, drafts of speeches, copies with manuscript notes, and copies in different formats (typed, printed, or reading copies) have all been retained. Related correspondence is filed in the same folder; some folders contain correspondence only. The scrapbooks contain most of the pre-1961 items and related correspondence.
Typed lists of speeches and articles, 1939-1955, 1959-1964, and 1961-1968 are also included. There is also a list of speeches declined, 1961-1964.

Political activities

These files are arranged in two groups: Republican Party and campaign files.
Republican Party: Even in non-election years, Stans was active with the Republican Party, serving in three different capacities. He assisted Republican members of the House Appropriations Committee to out the federal budget, chaired the Task Force on Federal Fiscal and Monetary Policies, and participated in a revenue sharing study. Material pertaining to each of these functions is filed independently, in reverse chronological order. The budget cut files include Stans's recommendations as to reductions and his reasoning. The Task Force and revenue sharing correspondence mostly concerns publications by the groups.
Campaign files: The majority of the papers in this unit deal with the presidential elections of 1968 and 1972, when Stans directed the financial aspects of Richard Nixon's campaigns. There are summary reports on the fund raising efforts for both these years, as well as budgets, committee memoranda, lists of workers and of contributors, and correspondence. The 1968 campaign material also contains information on the activities of the Nixon for President finance Committee in 1967, paving the way for Nixon's formal announcement of his candidacy. Stans also served as finance committee chairman for Nixon's attempt to win the California gubernatorial election in 1962, and there is some information on that campaign, as well as on the various fund raising groups which paid for Nixon's travels and speeches on behalf of Republican congressional candidates in 1966.

Department of commerce files

Consists largely of annual sets of office files (largely photocopies of letters, memoranda, and background materials), each set comprising several subdivisions. Supplemented by a set of quasi-personal "Secretary's Files" and by files on appointments, travel, invitations, speeches, and printed materials.

Maurice Stans served as Secretary of Commerce during the first term of the Nixon Administration, from January 1969 through February 1972. Previously he had acted as Deputy Postmaster General, Deputy Director of the Bureau of the Budget, and director of the Bureau of the Budget under President Dwight Eisenhower. He was active in the Republican Party throughout the 1960s as a fund raiser, and in 1968 headed the Republican National Finance Committee in Richard Nixon's successful drive for the Presidency. When Stans resigned from the Department of Commerce in 1972, he became chairman of the Finance Committee of the Committee to Re-elect the President, and played a key role in the elections of that year. In 1974 he stood trial on charges of abusing the privileges of his office as finance chairman and was acquitted. A year later he pleaded guilty to charges of nonwillfully accepting illegal campaign contributions in the campaign of 1972.

The bulk of these files originated with the Executive Secretariat of the Department of Commerce, and consist of photocopies of correspondence carried on by the members of the Secretary's staff, the Secretary himself, and main offices or divisions in the Department. There are many intra- and interdepartmental memos and directives, as well as letters sent to members of Congress and to the public at large. Papers for each year are divided into sub-series, and filed first alphabetically, then in reverse chronological order, within each sub-series. At the conclusion of the Executive Secretariat files are the Secretary's own working files, constituting, by virtue of their different organization, an independent sub-series. Appointment books, speeches, printed materials, and personal mementos are at the conclusion of the Secretary's files.

The files cover a wide range of subjects, reflecting the varied makeup of the Department of Commerce itself (see the organizational chart). Out of the bewildering complex of issues under Commerce's jurisdiction, the ones which received the most of Secretary Stans's attention were export expansion and the balance of payments, export and import controls, economic policy, executive reorganization, the effect of environmental controls on business, economic development (most importantly the minority business programs), and the direction and future of the free enterprise system. The files also give a fairly comprehensive view of the policy-making process, and of the internal workings of the Department.

One of the factors which helps illuminate the way in which the Department functioned is the number of officials whose names appear on memos and letters. Not all of the correspondence originated in the Secretary's or Under Secretary's offices, although much of it was eventually routed through them. However, top-level appointees and assistants often handled routine correspondence and, of course, communicated with each other directly.

The 1972 correspondence is a very short series (one box), since the Secretary left office at the end of February.

The Secretary's own personal files illustrate most fully Stans's own input into the policy-making process. There are a greater number of original letters in these files, as well as more hand-written notes, his appointment books, daily calendars, and lists of telephone calls. Furthermore, at the end of the Executive Secretariat files are a number of folders containing copies of incoming letters (filed by date rather than by subject), on which Stans made notations before sending to his assistants to answer. These also suggest the types of work he personally did. Many of the memoranda and letters in the Executive Secretariat files show his comments or questions in the margins, but they are less readily accessible.

The Secretary's personal files are arranged alphabetically by subject matter, and not broken down by years. Items are in reverse chronological order within each folder.

The following table lists Department of Commerce staff and their job title when Stans was Secretary of Commerce:

Department of commerce correspondence files

Location	Box	Description
307.D.11.8F	1	Congress members, 1969:
			For 1969 and 1970 this series (Congress members) consists largely of inquiries from Congress members and referrals of letters from their constituents regarding matters under the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce. There are also occasional requests for testimony before Congressional committees and subcommittees, and arrangements for appearances and speeches (especially related to the 1970 Congressional election) by Secretary Stans.
			Letters are filed alphabetically by name of the Congress member. A certain number of referrals from members of Congress are filed in the alpha series by constituent name, by name of the constituent's business firm, or by the subject about which he/she wrote. (For example, a letter from Orin Atkins, President of Ashland Oil Company, might be filed under "Atkins," "Ashland," or "Oil" instead of under the name of the Senator or Representative to whom he originally wrote.) In 1971 the number of referrals filed in the alpha series increases dramatically due to a change in filing procedure, and the number of referrals from constituents in the Congress series accordingly declines.
			Subject matter covered in these files includes tariff regulations, export and import controls, shortages of basic materials, competition from foreign manufacturers, textile negotiations with the Japanese (in 1970 and 1971 particularly), policies of trade with Communist countries, export credit, the boycott of Rhodesia, and programs under Commerce's direction, especially the 1970 Census, economic development programs, the Office of Minority Business Enterprise, weather bureaus, and Office of State Technical Services.
			The 1971 series includes a file on the Congressional Black Caucus.

		Departments and Agencies, 1969:
			This series (Departments and Agencies) contains letters, memoranda, and circulars exchanged with Cabinet offices and agencies of the Executive Branch on matters of common concern, arranged alphabetically by name of department or agency. Subject matter varies according to the correspondent and according to year, but the Bureau of the Budget (after July 1970, Office of Management and Budget) always contains a good deal of information, both on matters internal to Commerce and on broader programs and policies of the Nixon Administration.
			The Labor Department files are also very complete, especially with reference to a joint Commerce-Labor study of seasonality in the construction industry, to unemployment compensation, to pension plans, and to the Nixon welfare program. The State Department files reflect Stans's interest in the role of commercial policy in foreign relations. In addition, the 1970 Justice Department's file is particularly revealing of Commerce's role in marine management and law, the Patent Code, and the fight against organized crime.
			The 1971 files, especially those for the Office of Emergency Preparedness and Office of Management and Budget, have a good deal of information about the New Economic Program, particularly the wage-price freeze imposed by President Nixon, the anticipated effects upon business profits, and the reception which the program received in business circles.

307.D.12.1B	4	White House, January-December. 12 folders.
			This series includes a collection of memoranda, directives, reports, and opinions on a wide variety of subjects. Those which appear most often and most consistently, however, include: economic policy, legislative proposals, reorganization of the Executive Branch (particularly the Regional Economic Development Commissions), Cabinet meetings, Cabinet and interagency committees (especially the Oil Import Policy Committee), budgetary problems, Stans's trips abroad and negotiations of the textile issue, the balance of payments, the minority business enterprise program, national growth policy, and environmental issues.
			A few items deserve particular attention, for instance "the Arthur Burns report" in 1969. There are numerous references to it, as the report seems to have formed at least the initial policy statement of the Nixon Administration, but only scattered fragments are present. Also worth noting are 1969 memoranda from Paul McCracken on budget policy, with Stans's comments thereupon. In 1970 there are three papers on the New Federalism, circulated to Cabinet members.
			The majority of the papers from the White House originated with K. R. Cole, Jr., John Whittaker, Alexander Butterfield, Peter M. Flanigan, Daniel P. Moynihan, John Erlichman, or H. R. Haldeman. In the 1971 series, correspondence is divided into two parts: that conducted with Presidential aides, and that involving the President himself. There is one original of a letter (May 7, 1971) signed "Richard Nixon," congratulating Stans on the accounting system devised for the Department of Commerce.
			White House-Transmittal of papers to U/Sec, Gen. Coun. and Ass[istant] Sec[retaries].
		Committees, 1969:
			This series (Committees) includes letters and memoranda of committees, commissions, councils, boards, and task forces of the Executive Branch. The correspondence generally deals with appointments to the committees, agenda for meetings, minutes or reports on meetings, and creation or abolition of the bodies. Correspondence for some of them dates back to their inception, one or two years prior to the main body of the files.
			The files vary considerably in richness and completeness, but highlights from each year follow: Council of Economic Advisors, Federal Advisory Council on Regional Economic Development, Cabinet Committee on Economic Policy, Committee on Environmental Policy, the National Advisory and Interagency Committees on Minority Business Enterprise, the Cabinet Task Force on Oil Import Controls, and the Urban Affairs Council (all 1969); American Revolution Bicentennial Commission, Cabinet Committee on Construction, Domestic Council, Council of Economic Advisors, Cabinet Committee on Economic Policy, Environmental Quality Council, National Industrial Pollution Control Council, National Advisory and Interagency Committees on Minority Business Enterprise, Cabinet Task Force on Oil Import Controls (all 1970); and the National Business Council for Consumer Affairs, the Cost of Living Council, the Domestic Council, the Council of Economic Advisors, the Council on Environmental Quality, and the National Industrial Pollution Control Council (all 1971). N.B.: Reports of the NIPCC sub-councils are among the printed materials in box 84, along with books detailing the commitments to install pollution control devices made by various industries.
			Congressional committees are not included in this group. For information on them, see the alpha series: "Hearings, General," or "Legislation." For Stans's testimony at hearings, see the speech list.

307.D.12.3B	6	Alphabetical Files.
			The alphabetical files, which comprise by far the largest part of each year's correspondence, are the most varied in nature. They consist both of correspondence with private citizens and of inter-departmental communications. The former are comparable to a Congress member's constituent correspondence, as most letters deal with the opinions of the author, questions, comments, suggestions, or requests for assistance. These are filed by last name of the author, the name of his/her business, or the subject on which he/she wrote. By and large the subject files, and the files on departments within Commerce, are richer in information than the miscellaneous correspondence filed by name.
			Inter-departmental communications are filed by the name of the office where they originated, or which was most directly involved in the communication. Memoranda to or from aides, however, were often filed under their names, not under the name of the office they headed. (For example, see "Davis, Kenneth" or "McLellan, Robert," or "Scott, Harold B." instead of "Domestic and International Business, Office of.")
			In 1969 the files which contain the most complete information are the following: the Economic Development Administration (EDA), which incorporates the Regional Economic Development Commissions as well, the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA), Weather Bureau, the Office of Foreign Direct Investments, "Hearings, General," "Internal Audits (for copies of audits of various programs), the Office of Export Control (see also the subject files on items controlled), "Legislation," the Maritime Administration (MarAd), the Office of Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), the Office of Program Planning, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), and "Textiles."
			In 1970 the most complete files include: the Bureau of the Census, the Economic Development Administration, "Economic Development/Regional Commissions," the Office of Export Controls (see also the subject files on items controlled), "Internal Audits," "Inflation and Inflation Alerts," Office of Minority Business Enterprise, "Passer-Watchdog Reports" (a series of reports on "threats" to business), "Reorganization" (see also files on the departments reorganized or created), and National Bureau of Standards.
			Due to the truncated nature of the 1972 files only the following items are of much research value: a copy of a report on the Maritime Administration during 1971 (filed under "MarAd"), a report on the progress of the minority business program ("Minority Business Enterprise"), and a packet of materials distributed at the White House Conference on the Industrial World Ahead (under "Conferences"). On the following page is a list of the more substantive items found among the 1972 files.

Secretary's files, 1969-1972

The Secretary's files contain letters and memoranda with which the Secretary personally concerned himself. They are generally original letters, and often bear his hand-written notes or comments. All are filed alphabetically by subject matter (retaining, as much as possible, the headings and filing system of the main body of the papers). They are not divided according to year, but within the folders are in reverse chronological order. The subject matter includes most issues which appear in the Executive Secretariat yearly files, without the routine affairs of the lower-level offices. There is documentation on administrative and policy decisions within DOC (reorganization, initiation of new programs, appointment of top-level personnel), and some information on broader policy decisions in the Nixon Administration (primarily economic policy). The President's New Economic Program and the Secretary's textile negotiations with the Japanese figure prominently.
There is a good deal of information on the census, minority business programs, international trade and investment, environmental issues, reactions to statements by the news media, questions of public image, and arrangements for speeches and appearances as well. In addition, some interesting insights into official Washington's social life can be gained from the files on yacht cruises, weekends at Camp David, entertainment by the Secretary, and so on. One signature of possible interest appears: a letter from Attorney General John Mitchell, signed in full, transmitting his annual report for Fiscal Year 1970, dated April 16, 1971.

Foreign travels

There are schedules, arrangements for lodging and banquets, background briefings about the officials with whom he was to meet, cables and telegrams sent to or by him en route, and thank-you notes. This series appears to be quite complete with the exception of the Secretary's trip to the USSR in November of 1971, for which no information at all is present. There are extensive details of the Secretary's big game hunting in the Ethiopian files, and on his relatives in Belgium in the European folders.

Speeches

The speech files consists of materials for press conferences, press statements, press interviews, appearances at dinners and other formal functions, trips and arrangements for them, and articles in magazines under the Secretary's by-line, as well as speeches and arrangements for them. Copies of the speeches, press statements, etc. are usually included, with the exception of press conferences (transcripts of which occasionally appear elsewhere in the papers, however).
