(2013-0186-F) JP Morgan Merger with Chase Manhattan Bank

3 folders, 72 pages

This collection consists of records related to the merger between J.P. Morgan and Chase Manhattan Bank that took place in 2001. The historic transaction occurred because of evolving financial conditions and helped the two storied firms stand up to the increasingly radical maneuverings of the big multinational banks. Included in the material for the case are correspondence, newspaper articles, and reports. Of note, none of the documents provide much in the way of information about the merger between JP Morgan and Chase Manhattan Bank.

Bruce Reed spent the entire Clinton Administration in the Domestic Policy Council rising from a Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy in 1993 to serving as Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy Council (DPC) and Director, DPC from 1997 thru 2001. His hand was visible in the implementation of the Clinton Administration’s domestic policies, especially in the areas of welfare reform, crime, education, and tobacco. The Admin series includes such topics as administration accomplishments, book drafts, cabinet retreats, health care, welfare reform, housing, employment, persons with disabilities, and “POTUS Has Seen” records. The records include agendas, articles, memos, letters, briefing books, greeting cards, schedules, biographies, resumes, meeting notes, speech material and weekly reports.
