University of Wyoming
Gale McGee was a University of Wyoming Professor, a U.S. Senator from Wyoming (1959-1977), and the U.S. Ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS) (1977-1981). Born on Saint Patrick's Day, March 17, 1915, in Lincoln, Nebraska, McGee attended public schools, where he was prominent in debate. He wanted to study law, but the depression forced him to attend Nebraska Teaching College, where he graduated in 1936.
McGee taught high school from 1936 to 1939 while working toward a master's degree in history at the University of Colorado. He continued as a college instructor at Nebraska Wesleyan University, Iowa State College, and Notre Dame. In 1946, McGee received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Chicago and accepted a position as a professor of American history at the University of Wyoming. The following year he became chairman of the Institute of International Affairs at the University of Wyoming.
Active in Democratic politics, McGee was asked to run for Congress in 1950, which McGee ultimately was convinced was not the right time. In 1955 and 1956, he took a leave of absence from the University to work as a legislative assistant to Wyoming Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney.
In 1958, McGee made his bid for the U.S. Senate and won, challenging incumbent Frank A. Barrett. McGee ran on a program of youth and new ideas, which received national attention. He served three terms in the U.S. Senate representing Wyoming, winning re-election in 1964 and 1970 until his defeat in 1976.
As Senator, McGee served on the Appropriations, Foreign Relations, Commerce, and Post Office and Civil Service committees. McGee was an internationalist, advocating for U.S. foreign aid to developing countries and fighting Communism by promoting Democratic values. Considered the leading "hawk" supporting U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, McGee frequently debated his close friend and fellow professor, Senator George McGovern (D-SD), the leading "dove," during one of the most divisive periods in our Nation's history.
Domestically, Senator McGee supported the social, environmental, and conservation programs of the "New Frontier" and "Great Society." While on the Appropriations Committee, McGee successfully directed federal aid for Wyoming's public works, public lands, as well as its agriculture, livestock, wool, and energy industries. He played a vital role in modernizing U.S. foreign aid, extending voting rights, and ending nationwide railroad and postal strikes.
Following his defeat in 1976 to Malcolm Wallop, President Carter appointed him as U.S. Ambassador to the OAS, where he was instrumental in the Senate ratification of the Panama Canal Treaty. In 1981, he established a consulting firm in Washington, D.C. Throughout his professional life, McGee was a recognized scholar of U.S. history and known as a forceful and effective orator on foreign and domestic issues.
As of 2022, McGee remains the last Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Wyoming. In 2007, Congress renamed the Laramie, Wyoming Post Office in his honor. McGee's biography "The Man in the Arena: The Life and Times of U.S. Senator Gale McGee," written by Rodger McDaniel, was published in 2017.
Gale W. McGee married Loraine Baker in 1939, and together, they had four children, David W., Robert M., Mary Gale, and Lori Ann. Senator McGee died on April 9, 1992, in Washington, D.C.

Collection includes materials relating to McGee's career as U.S. senator, his work at the University of Wyoming and the Organization of American States, his consulting firm, and personal life. Legislative papers include departmental, committee and study-mission files, constituent correspondence, and speeches. There are also photographs, scrapbooks, campaign materials, personal correspondence, memoirs, artifacts, films, and audiotapes of interviews. Included is material related to President John F. Kennedy's visit to the University of Wyoming with McGee in 1963.
The Gale W. McGee departmental and committee papers contain correspondence with constituents and various government officials and departments. Study missions and reports are included in the papers, as are photographs. The papers give good insight into the political temperament of the people of Wyoming during the years that McGee served in the Senate, as well as a look into the functions of a Senator's office.
The correspondence with the government departments is enlightening, and the files taken as a whole show the way in which various requests and complaints are served, as well as the changing nature of government over time. These papers reflect the temperament of McGee's constituents and his responses. Scarcely a letter went unanswered, although some were answered by Flexo or Robo letters, types of form letters. Subjects range from agricultural concerns to the Vietnam War.
The committee files include correspondence between committee members and the public, reports, and study missions, and they show the legislative process of bills becoming laws. The Appropriations Committee papers illustrate how the government decides how to spend our tax dollars. These papers provided McGee with information on committee business and helped inform him to make judicious decisions. Included is a telegram from James Hoffa requesting a hearing of the Teamsters concerning the railroad and piggybacking.
The environmental files contain correspondence with constituents concerning environmental issues of the mid-1970s. McGee was involved with the environmental movement. He was concerned about air pollution, grazing policies, the expansion of the Jackson Hole Airport, the grizzly bear being designated an endangered species, strip mining and clearcutting. The papers show the interest that the people of Wyoming showed toward the changing environment.
The general correspondence files contain letters from the general public, organizations, and other public officials. These papers illustrate the feelings of the country at the time. The people showed genuine fear during the Cold War era and wanted reassurance from the government. The speech folders provide information on McGee's stances on a variety of topics, including pensions, the Vietnam War, and the Watergate scandal.
Photographs include publicity shots and snapshots of many prominent politicians and people from around the world. There are photographs of Senator McGee posed with people and of him on his many trips. Constituents can be found both in the constituent files and Wyoming-related files. Many photographs cover the Appropriations Committee study missions in which Senator McGee participated.

8mm film. Includes the following note in the film canister: "At the beginning of the film during a visit in Belo Horizonte, there is a shot of Senator McGee and Senator Frank Moss of Utah visiting with a group of Brazilian teachers standing in front of the hotel. The import of it is that those teachers arose at dawn in order to greet us there before our early departure for the opportunity of saying “thank you” to someone official from the United States for having made possible their study in the United States in teachers’ colleges that prepared them for their teaching service in Brazil. / At the end of the reel the last section was filmed in Recife in the northeast corner of Brazil, and somewhere among the Recife shots near the end of them (after you get through the fishermen and the bikinis) is a shot of McGee and a Brazilian geologist as they stood on the balcony of the hotel. The geologist may be identified by the fact that he wears no hat, has dark hair, and wears heavy glasses. The point of this Brazilian geologist was that he was a former student of McGee’s at the University of Wyoming a number of years ago. He was an exchange student from Brazil studying in the University’s expert Department of Geology."
