Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
Box 7 contains nine folders derived from one folder Austin labeled "Correspondence—Business (July 1966 onwards)" and three additional folders that were labeled "mostly job-related." The correspondence covers the period between 1966 and 1988. During this span of time, Austin worked as Director of the Office of Research and Analysis for the Near East and South Asia at the State Department (1966-1970); as Executive Assistant to Senator Clifford P. Case; as Special Assistant to the Secretary for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (1971-1974); as Member of the Policy Planning Staff at the State Department (1974-1977)—also teaching Modern Indian History at Johns Hopkins' SAIS 1975-1976; as Acting Deputy Inspector General at the Department of Energy (1977-1978); as a contract consultant (1978-1979); as Director of Communications at the Council on Foundations (1979-1982); as well as freelance writer and advisor (1982-1988). The box also contains two copies of letters from the Korean Goodwill Mission, 1957, when Austin was Assistant Information Officer at the American Embassy in Beirut. Much of the correspondence relates to job searches, and is mixed with some personal correspondence. The business correspondence also includes letters submitting articles for publication and acceptances or rejections of those articles, as well as correspondence concerning Austin's book reviewing activity, and royalty statements from Oxford University Press.
