Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Michael Joseph Mansfield was born on March 16, 1903 in New York City to Irish immigrant parents, Patrick and Josephine Mansfield. After his mother died in 1906, Mansfield was sent to live with his great aunt and uncle in Great Falls, Montana. In 1917, he dropped out of school and lied about his age to enlist in the U.S. Navy during World War I. After his Navy discharge, Mansfield re-enlisted as a private with the U.S. Army from 1919 to 1920. From 1920 to 1922, he served as a U.S. Marine. During his time with the Marines, Mansfield was deployed to the Philippines and China, trips that established his lifelong interest in Asia.

After his miliary service, Mansfield returned to Butte, Montana, where he worked as a miner and mining engineer until 1930. He was admitted to Montana School of Mines in Butte by examination and studied there from 1927 to 1928. He married Maureen Hayes, a former Butte high school teacher. He then transferred to Montana State University in Missoula, where he completed his B.A. and M.A. From 1933 to 1943, he was Professor of Latin American and Far Eastern History at Montana State University.

Mansfield was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1942 and served five terms as the representative from Montana's First District. In October 1951, he was appointed by President Harry Truman as a delegate to the United Nations, Sixth Session, in Paris. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1952 and re-elected in 1958, 1964 and 1970. In 1958, Mansfield again served as delegate when President Dwight Eisenhower appointed him to the 13th General Assembly of the United Nations. In November and December 1962, he undertook a foreign policy assignment to West Berlin and Southeast Asia for President John F. Kennedy. He took a similar assignment for President Richard Nixon in 1969. In 1972, he was invited by Premier Chou-En-Lai to visit the People's Republic of China after diplomatic relations between the U.S. and China were reestablished. He returned to China in December 1974 and September 1976 on subsequent official visits. Through all of this international work, he remained very close to the people and concerns of Montana, and was notorious for his close contact with citizens around the state.

Mansfield's responsibility and prestige steadily increased through his tenure in Congress. He became Assistant Majority Leader (Majority Whip) of the Senate in January 1957, and served in that capacity until 1961, when he was elected Majority Leader of the Senate. He held that position until he retired from the Senate in 1977. He served longer than any other Majority Leader in the history of the U.S. Senate.

President Jimmy Carter appointed Mansfield Ambassador to Japan in 1977, and he was reappointed under President Ronald Reagan. He held the position of ambassador until 1988. Mansfield later worked as a consultant to Goldman Sachs in Washington, D.C. Maureen Mansfield died on September 20, 2000, and Mike Mansfield died on October 5, 2001.

Custodial History

Most of the collection was in Mansfield's possession until time of transfer.

Acquisition Information

The bulk of this collection was received directly from Mansfield's Washington, DC, office in 1969 and the early 1970s, with the addition of the unofficial ambassadorial papers in 1982-1986. Mansfield also made additional gifts of audio tapes, books, art objects, and clippings in 1979, 1980, 1983, and 1988. Some additional materials were also received from USIA and USIS in 1987. Additional materials were donated by Mike Mansfield's daughter, Anne, in 2003, 2004, and 2010.

Processing Note

The Mansfield papers were originally processed and prepared for transfer to the archives by Mansfield's staff, with assistance and consultation with The University of Montana archivist Dale Johnson. Likewise, the ambassadorial portion was largely prepared by Mansfield's staff, and were received in the archives as a separate collection. Once the papers arrived at the archives, they remained largely in their original state. There was extensive documentation prepared for the collection of art objects.

In 1997, the Mansfield Foundation awarded the archives a grant to re-describe the collection and make information about it more readily available electronically. This grant served as a base for much future work on the papers. The House, Senate, and ambassadorial papers were combined to create one continuous collection; many series were combined; art, memorabilia, audio, film, and video were re-integrated into the collection; the series were sampled and surveyed; photographs were removed from acidic albums and listed individually; and the archives collected documentation on preservation problems in the collection. In 1998-99, the Foundation awarded the archives another grant to work on the photographs and augment other descriptions.

Portions of the papers remain unprocessed. In 2016, additional materials from later in Mansfield's life were arranged, described, and became Series XXXVII.

In 2022, additional miscellaneous documents related to Mansfield's time in the U.S. Senate were discovered at the archives and processed into the collection as Series XXXVIII. These documents had seemingly been mislabeled, but there is no record of their custodial or acquisition history. Series XXXIX was processed in 2023. These materials had previously been separated from the collection under unknown circumstances but were returned to the Archives in 2021.

Separated Materials

Most audio materials, especially press interviews, were separated during original processing and now comprise Oral History Collection 22 at the K. Ross Toole Archives. A number of books and government publications were separated to the library's general and government documents collection during original processing.

Related Materials

Mansfield's official ambassadorial papers are with the records of the State Department in the National Archives.

Detailed Description of the CollectionReturn to Top

Series I:  House: Bills Introduced by Mansfield, 1942-1952Return to Top

7.5 linear feet

This series covers all the bills that Mansfield introduced during his time in the House of Representatives. They include the 78th to the 82nd Congress. The series contains a broad range of materials relating to all aspects of legislation. The number of bills introduced by Mansfield increases with each Congress as the gains seniority. The bills also grow more substantive and related to national policy issues.

The series contains copies of each bill introduced and correspondence relating to the bill. When a bill was introduced in more than one session, the folder generally contains all previous drafts of the bill. Many folders have original working drafts of bills that include notes and revisions in Mansfield's hand. The folders also contain newspaper clippings and numerous letters from constituents, interest groups, and Congressional colleagues. A number of the bills are personal relief bills introduced on behalf of constituents in need of help. They provide a glimpse of the hardships many Montanans faced during World War II and its aftermath. Many cases relate to immigration difficulties and the struggles of veterans. There are letters from various government agencies, particularly the War and State departments, relating to relief cases. The relief folders often contain photographs and effusive thank-you notes.

The folders contain Mansfield's speeches to Congressional committees and on the House floor. There are several handwritten working drafts of speeches that include Mansfield's corrections. Planned testimony on pending legislation and specific pages from the Congressional Record are included as well.

Letters from constituents relating to pending bills offer insight into the political and economic opinions of Montanans during this era. A number of bills relate to federal land management, Native American policies, and large federal work projects in Montana. These folders contain numerous maps, blueprints, and photographs relating to specific projects. Of particular interest is the vigorous support for mining, flood control, and irrigation.

The rest of the series is comprised of Mansfield's replies to constituents, reports to congressional committees, telegrams, press releases, and memorandums. There are also copies of public laws after legislation was passed, letters from Senator James Murray, newsletters from constituent interest groups, and legal documents from various cases.

The series is arranged in five subseries: 78th Congress, 79th Congress, 80th Congress, 81st Congress, and 82nd Congress. Within each subseries, each folder contains information on a single bill. Substantive bills often occupy several folders. Some of the material relates directly to other series, including the Montana files, Projects, Federal Agencies, and Case Mail.

Series II:  House: Legislation, 1942-1952Return to Top

35.0 linear feet

This series consists of material relating to all the legislation Mansfield's office handled during his time in the House of Representatives. The series is inclusive and covers a broad range of bills in both the House and the Senate. While the series does not contain every piece of pending legislation during this time, any bill that related to Montana or Mansfield's committee assignments is included. The series generally consists of correspondence, committee reports, copies of the pending bills, and newspaper clippings.

More specifically, the folders contain a predictable sequence of documents throughout the series. In general all material relating to a specific piece of legislation is contained in a single file, though some bills, like the Smith-Connolly Bill of 1943, take up several folders. The information contained in the series covers a broad spectrum of issues and includes virtually any subject that might have relevance to Mansfield's tenure in the House. Included in the files are bills relating to wildlife conservation, veteran's benefits, housing, the Kerr Commission, Civil Service, Armed Forces, coal, World War II, agriculture, mining, timber, and foreign relations. A file typically will have all the information on a particular bill, though this covers a broad sweep of documents. The majority of the series consists of correspondence. The letters are predominantly from constituents and interest groups with concerns over the effect of a specific piece of pending legislation. The constituent letters provide a reflection of the concerns of average Montanans during and following World War II. They project an intimacy between Mansfield and Montana citizens that seems a remarkable reflection of both Mansfield's appeal and a more communal era in Montana politics. The letters from interest groups reveal the key players in Montana politics, particularly the strong voices of farmers, ranchers, loggers, and miners. Groups representing these constituencies are very well represented in this series and their letters appear in virtually every folder. A copy of each bill being considered is included in the relevant file and both previous and subsequent drafts of the bill often appear. Some of the bills have Mansfield's handwritten notes, offering his objections or suggestions. Reports to House and Senate Committees and copies of Committee hearings accompany specific legislation. To supplement reports and testimony, interest groups often produced their own reports to convince Mansfield and his Congressional colleagues of the merits of their particular viewpoint. The rest of the series is rounded out by letters and memorandums from Congressional colleagues, press releases, Mansfield's speeches and testimony, newspaper clippings sent by constituents, telegrams, and reports and letters from federal agencies.

The series is arranged in five subseries: 78th Congress, 79th Congress, 80th Congress, 81st Congress, and 82nd Congress. Within the subseries, materials are arranged in a rough chronological order. Aside from chronology, many folders contain a single piece of legislation and its attendant documents while others are grouped by subject. For example all the bills relating to veterans for a particular period are contained in folders titled "Veteran's Affairs," though a very important bill might be listed individually. There is no apparent order to the arrangement of files within a particular time period, though some may be arranged alphabetically by subject. To add to the difficulties in locating information in this series, some subject files contain material spanning the entire decade. In general using subject and chronology headings will yield approximate locations for researchers, though finding specific information depends on serendipity as much as science.

Series III:  House: Montana Files, 1942-1952Return to Top

17.0 linear feet

This series contains information relating to Montana projects and concerns while Mansfield was a member of the House of Representatives. The files include material linked to legislation and more general information relating to constituent concerns and federal policies and works projects affecting Montana. The folders usually contain information of specific interest groups in the state. A single file typically has letters, legislation, reports, and newspaper clippings relevant to an interest group and spanning the whole era in which Mansfield was in the House.

The majority of the material focuses on either Montana interest groups or public works projects. In addition to these two categories, folders relate to specific businesses, government agencies, and issues in Montana. Many folders have copies of any legislation that a particular group expressed interest in or concern about. Besides copies of bills, there are numerous reports from various federal agencies with information about mining, airports, dams, flood control, labor, and agriculture. The extent of specific files is a gauge of the importance of various groups and issues in Montana. For example, the Bureau of Reclamation's flood control work on the Flathead River occupies an entire box, while the West Yellowstone Airport folder contains only a few letters from constituents and the Department of Commerce. Groups like the Montana Wool Growers Association, the Montana Farmer's Union, and the Mining Association of Montana have thick files filled with letters from members advocating support of their groups. Public works also receive support from constituents, and there are numerous letters urging Mansfield's backing for legislation and appropriations of federal projects.

The series is rounded out with newsletters and policy directives from interest groups. There are letters from Congressional colleagues, cabinet members, and various other officials from both the federal and Montana government. Of particular interest are letters from Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes on mining policy. There are copies of Mansfield's press releases and newspaper clippings submitted by constituents in almost every folder, providing a gauge of public opinion on a range of issues. Blueprints, photographs, petitions, and telegrams are present as well.

Much of the material here relates to material in other series, including Legislation, Projects, Federal Agencies, and Case Mail. Since this series is relatively short, it may be a good starting point in a search for materials and topics that may appear in several places in the collection.

The folders are organized neither alphabetically nor chronologically; folder titles are the best guide to material in the series.In 2009 contents in this series were removed from the envelopes in which they had been filed by Mansfield's office and placed into acid-free folders. Some title / content information which did not appear in the pre-2009 guide to this collection are now included as folder titles; consequently some box and folder numbers within this series have changed. See archivist for details.

Series IV:  House: Foreign Affairs, 1930-1949Return to Top

12.5 linear feet

This series contains material relating to both the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and Mansfield's own congressional interest in foreign matters. Material in the series concentrates on the years 1947 to 1949, but includes lecture notes presumably from courses Mansfield taught at the University of Montana prior to 1943.

The country files in the series encompass a broad range of subjects relevant to individual nations. There are copies of foreign affairs bills from the House and the Senate. Loans and other foreign aid provide much of the material in individual folders. Letters in the country files include correspondence between Mansfield and various ambassadors and State Department officials. Letters from companies and constituents with strong interests in specific countries are also well-represented in these files. Other letters are from government organizations including the War Department, the State Department, the Army, and the Marine Corps. There are reports from government agencies on specific foreign relations challenges like the Panama Canal. United Nations reports also appear in the series, and congressional hearings and committee reports accompany legislation. There are notes in Mansfield's hand from committee hearings. Items from the Congressional Record pertaining to specific countries are also included in folders for individual countries. Proposals for large quantities of foreign aid spending elicited the most vehement responses. A given spending measure typically drew letters of both criticism and praise; many Montanans expressed displeasure with Congress' willingness to spend money overseas when domestic problems persisted. Foreign nationals and American expatriates also wrote Mansfield to support or decry a particular policy or proposal. Country files also contain newspaper clippings, magazine articles, American and international publications, and press releases.

This series also contains information on specific political issues like the demobilization of troops in China, Burma, and India following World War II. These folders contain many of the same types of materials as the country files. In addition, there are presidential press releases, citizen petitions, telegrams, and photographs. There are also folders with information and documents concerning Mansfield's official trips abroad. This series chronicles the beginning of Mansfield's career-long involvement in foreign policy and provides insight into the constituent opinions and congressional concerns about foreign affairs during and after World War II.

The folders are divided by individual country, by issues like demobilization, and by Mansfield's official trips abroad. The organization of the series is unclear; there is no apparent chronological or alphabetical order to the boxes and folders. Often a similar subject like the United Fruit Company in Central America appears in several folders under different titles; in this case, both Central America and Costa Rica. The boxes and folders do not specify time periods and often skip all over the globe and through a number of years.In 2009 contents in this series were removed from the envelopes in which they had been filed by Mansfield's office and placed into acid-free folders. Some title / content information which did not appear in the pre-2009 guide to this collection are now included as folder titles; consequently some box and folder numbers within this series have changed. See archivist for details.

Series V:  House: Federal Agencies, 1943-1953Return to Top

47.0 linear feet

This series covers a variety of federal agencies during Mansfield's tenure in the House. The material provides an excellent sample of the range of concerns and interests that a member of Congress faces. The folders contain material as mundane as the delivery of Christmas packages to troops and as critical as the food situation in Germany in 1945 and trimming manpower from the Marine Corps. The bulk of the series focuses on relatively basic issues like individual deferments and discharges from the Army.

The series contains information on the whole array of federal agencies, but the more visible and critical agencies receive more attention. As expected during this time period, the Army and Armed Forces files are extensive. They contain numerous letters from constituents on a variety of war-related topics. Most plead for emergency furloughs or deferments for friends or family members, hinting at the impact the war had on Montana families. There are also letters voicing concern over federal wartime policies like rationing and price supports for agriculture. Reports from various branches of the armed service appear throughout these folders. Besides deferments, there are numerous files concerning court martials, discharges, dependent benefits, and GI benefits. Reports and correspondence from the War Department, the State Department, the National Security Agency, and the Veteran's Administration round out these boxes. They address Reserve Officers Training Corps and training issues, prisoner of war exchanges, military contracts, and local draft boards.

Many other non-military agencies are also represented. Due to the extent of federal land in Montana and the importance of agriculture, the departments of the Interior and Agriculture figure prominently. The Federal Power Commission's proposal to import natural gas from Canada sparked controversy and elicited letters from around Montana. Small business owners seem particularly likely to voice concerns over federal agency policies. Their letters offer a nice survey of the range of small businesses in Montana in the late 1940s and the early 1950s. There are also letters between Mansfield and various agencies. Congressional hearings reports and copies of legislation are scattered throughout the series. Letters from congressional colleagues and interest groups accompany nearly every folder. The series also contains blueprints, photographs, copies of federal regulations, telegrams, press releases, and newspaper clippings.

The materials offer an excellent window on the complexity of the federal government. It also highlights the constant demands placed on members of Congress and the need for legislators to balance the demands of constituents with the demands of governing the nation.

This series was refoldered in 2013-2014 and a folder list was created. Citations of boxes and folders from prior to 2014 will not match the current box and folder arrangement. See archivist for details.

The series is arranged both chronologically and alphabetically. For example, the Armed Services occupy the first box in the series, followed by other agencies in alphabetical order, but the Army files for 1950-1952 reappear in box 60 near the end of the series. Overall the organization is relatively clear, but often boxes and folders contain overlapping information.
