Papers of John F. Kennedy. Presidential Papers. White House Staff Files of Walter W. Heller
JFKWHSFWWH-MF20-001
This folder contains memoranda, notes, reports, news clippings, and correspondence pertaining to labor disputes and price increases in the steel industry and the government's response. The situation was informally referred to as the "steel crisis." Although detailed, much of the information is in draft form and there are many gaps. Most of the notes are in Heller's handwriting. The file includes material for a meeting with the President and Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz regarding steel prices (21 May 1963), and for another meeting just with Secretary Wirtz (14 May 1963). Other documents include compiled statistics related to the steel industry as of April 1963 and October 1963, and a background paper on how the national economy is affected by steel prices. Note that this material originally constituted Series 4, but upon further review it has been moved to Series 5. Subject Files.
