(2013-0181-F) Bankers of note during the Clinton Administration

37 folders, approximately 612 pages (this includes 14 electronic pages)

This collection consists of correspondence, memoranda, reports, faxes, talking points, briefing papers, and lists. The major bankers dealt with in the records include John S. Reed, Sanford “Sandy” Weill, Thomas Labrecque, Dennis Weatherstone, Walter Shipley, and Hugh McColl, Jr. During Clinton’s presidency McColl and Weill engineered the two most significant mergers—Travelers Group combining with Citicorp and NationsBank uniting with BankAmerica—that contributed to the gutting of the Glass-Steagall Act. Substantive material in these papers dealing with the role bankers might have played in the general “anything goes” financial climate of the times and the onset of a severe recession in the 21st century would have to be viewed as negligible.

Bruce Reed worked as a domestic policy advisor for the entire eight years of the Clinton Administration, serving as Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, Assistant to the President for the Domestic Policy Council (DPC), and finally as Director of the DPC. The Chron Files series spans Reed’s tenure at the White House, from 1993 through 2001, and mainly chronicles his scheduled meetings with members of the public, Congress, federal agencies, and professionals who provided input on various domestic policy concerns. The records include agendas, letters, memos, schedules, facsimiles and reports.
