Research in the Administration
of Public Policy: Papers and Proceedings Edited by Frank B. Evans and Harold T. Pinkett
Research in the Administration of Public Policy, edited by Frank B. Evans and Harold T. Pinkett, contains the papers and proceedings of a conference on this topic sponsored by the National Archives and Records Service in 1970. The essays presented in this volume explore the wide range of valuable documents concerning the administration of public policy in the United States and examine the major characteristics of federal agencies, especially their administrative policies and public relations. Featured articles include: “Government History: Writing from the Inside,” by Richard G. Hewlett; “Saccharin: A Bitter Regulatory Controversy,” by James Harvey Young; “Deepening the Wellsprings of Public Policy,” by John J. Corson; “The New Deal and Administrative Reform,” by Richard Polenberg; “Problems and Opportunities in Research in the Administration of Federal Policy and Programs Relating to Poverty,” by Sidney Baldwin; and “A Proposal for a Government-Wide Historical Office,” by Louis Morton. The National Archives conference series was initiated in 1967 to acquaint scholars with this wealth of materials and to provide a forum for the discussion of issues and problems relevant to both researchers and archivists. Conference papers were delivered by outstanding authorities in their fields and frequently by persons who, as emissaries, explorers, and administrators, influenced the course of events in our time. It is hoped that these publications will prove to be a permanent contribution to scholarship and a reference source for scholars and students alike.
