U.S. NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION Strauss's papers concerning atomic energy are located in a single series (62 linear feet) which is arranged by names of individuals and subjects. During his chairmanship of the AEC (1953-1958) Strauss became President Eisenhower's top advisor on atomic energy policy. Strauss's files shed considerable light on the Eisenhower administration's handling of issues related to fallout from nuclear tests. The Hickenlooper papers contain 45 linear feet of materials concerning the Atomic Energy Commission during the period 1945-1968. Senator Hickenlooper was a member of the Senate Special Committee from 1945-1946, served as the first chairman of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy (JCAE) (1947-1949), and was a member of JCAE subcommittees (through 1968) on Raw Materials, Research, Development and Radiation, Agreements and Cooperation, and Legislation. Most of the security-classified materials in the Strauss and Hickenlooper papers have been declassified. However, some materials in both collections have been submitted for review and are in the process of being evaluated.
