Biographical Note

Early years: Henry Martin Jackson was born in Everett, Washington, in 1912,
the son of Norwegian immigrants. His sister gave him his life-long nickname "Scoop" after a comic strip character in the local newspaper he delivered as a boy. He briefly attended Stanford University before graduating from the University of Washington, where he earned his bachelor of laws degree in 1935. After passing the bar examination, he entered private practice in Everett. Jackson won his first elective office at the age of 26, when he was chosen Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney in 1938. Two years later, in 1940, he ran successfully for the Second District congressional seat vacated when Representative Mon Wallgren ran for the U.S. Senate.

House years: Jackson served 12 years
as a congressman, concentrating primarily on issues of interest to the Pacific Northwest. To serve the interests of his district, he sought and won a seat on the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee. Public power development was among his legislative priorities. Jackson supported a plan by Northwest legislators to establish the Columbia Valley Authority, a system of publicly financed hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River run by an agency similar to the Tennessee Valley Authority, and later used his seat on the Interior Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee to secure federal funding for regional power and public works projects. Jackson became interested in the potential military and civilian uses of atomic energy and was appointed to the Joint Atomic Energy Committee in 1949.

Jackson's tenure in the House was briefly interrupted by service in the U.S. Army. He enlisted in 1943, but was recalled by President Roosevelt to congressional service after basic training.

Senate years: In 1952, Jackson defeated the
Republican incumbent, Harry P. Cain, to win a seat in the U.S. Senate. Jackson's role on the Joint Atomic Energy Committee and his proposal for an atomic plant at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation to power industrial development in the Tri-Cities area were critical in countering charges from McCarthyites that he was soft on communism.

Jackson was assigned to the Government Operations Committee's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, a position which quickly put him at the center of the un-American activities controversies and in the national spotlight. He won recognition for his questioning during the televised Army-McCarthy hearings in the spring of 1954, in which he came across as fair and evenhanded. Jackson remained a member of the PSI the rest of his Senate tenure and chaired the Subcommittee from 1973 to 1978.

Foreign policy:
Following the Army-McCarthy hearings, Jackson turned his attentions from internal security matters to the defense and foreign policy issues with which he would become so strongly identified. In the summer of 1954, Jackson was named to the Senate Armed Services Committee, and in 1955 he won reappointment to the Joint Atomic Energy Committee. In 1959, Jackson assumed chairmanship of the Government Operations Committee's newly formed Subcommittee on National Policy Machinery, which studied how the government's Cold War strategy was made and executed.

Jackson came to be known as an unceasing advocate of a strong national defense. A stern adversary of the Soviet Union, he cast a critical eye on arms limitation agreements. His support became a key factor in the adoption of any agreement. The Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963 and the interim agreement that resulted from the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT I) of 1972 were adopted only after the Senate agreed to Jackson-sponsored amendments. As chairman of the Armed Services Committee Subcommittee on Arms Control, he carefully monitored negotiations for a SALT II treaty, which were conducted between 1972 and 1979, and strongly criticized the resulting document.

Jackson was an early advocate of U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia. As the conflict in Vietnam dragged on, his continued support of Johnson and Nixon Administration policies found him increasingly in conflict with the Democratic Party and public opinion. Jackson voted against President Ford's request for aid for the crumbling South Vietnamese government in 1975, but remained convinced that the decision to become involved in Vietnam was fundamentally correct.

Jackson was an ardent supporter of Israel and championed the
cause of human rights, most notably for Soviet Jews and dissidents. In 1972, Jackson introduced an amendment to the Trade Reform Act which sought to withhold investment credit and Most Favored Nation trade status from countries which denied their citizens the right to emigrate. The provision, later known as the Jackson-Vanik Amendment, became law in 1974. Jackson also frequently intervened on behalf of individuals trying to emigrate to the U.S.

As early as 1966, Jackson spoke of the importance of working out "a livable relationship with the Chinese Communists," and he was instrumental in helping move the U.S. towards recognition of the People's Republic of China. As Jackson became a specialist on China, he played a significant behind-the-scenes role in influencing U.S. leaders and policy toward China.

Domestic policy: Jackson often found himself at odds with the Democratic Party on defense issues, yet on domestic issues he remained a quintessential New Dealer, firm in his belief that an active Federal government could improve the lives of ordinary citizens. He supported such initiatives as the GI Bill, Medicare, and Medicaid. Jackson worked to ensure that his own constituents would benefit directly from federal spending and programs. Jackson and his colleague, Warren G. Magnuson, were able to use their committee positions and accumulated seniority to direct federal money and programs to Washington State.

As a member and later Chairman (1963-1980) of the Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, Jackson played a key role in federal lands policy. He shepherded through the Senate the Wilderness Areas Act of 1964, which established a system for designating wilderness areas on public lands. He brokered the legislative compromises that led to the creation of the North Cascades National Park in 1968 and the passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act in 1980. He was also the author the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the cornerstone of American environmental law.

Jackson's chairmanship of the committee, which was renamed the Energy and Natural Resources Committee in 1977, also allowed him to influence energy matters. He was a proponent of the construction of a dual-purpose nuclear reactor at Hanford. Jackson played a key role in crafting the nation's response to the oil embargo imposed by the Oil Producing and Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 1973 and in the passage of the Northwest Power Planning and Conservation Act of 1980.

The candidate: From his first election to political office,
Jackson acquired a reputation as a tenacious campaigner and formidable political adversary. He handily defeated a succession of Republican opponents. The only exception was his narrow re-election victory in the 1946 Republican landslide. In 1970, he turned back his only serious primary challenge from Spokane lawyer Carl Maxey.

Jackson first emerged as a national candidate in 1960 as a contender for the vice presidential nomination. Presidential nominee John F. Kennedy, however, chose Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson as his running mate, and Jackson was asked to head the Democratic National Committee. In the early 1970s an informal poll of his Senate colleagues ranked him best qualified to be President, yet Jackson was unsuccessful in his 1972 and 1976 bids for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.

Final years: The 1980 elections gave the Republican Party control of the Senate and Jackson lost his committee chairmanship. He nevertheless retained great influence as ranking member of the Armed Services, Government Affairs, and Energy and Natural Resources Committees.

Henry M. Jackson died suddenly of a heart attack on September 1, 1983. At the time of his death he held the record for longest service in Congress.


Scope and Content

The numerous accessions that make up the Henry M. Jackson papers measure approximately 1,235 cubic feet. They date from 1912 to 1987, with the bulk of the material from the period 1940-1983, Jackson's years in Congress. The papers document Jackson's career as a small-town attorney, member of Congress, United States senator, and presidential candidate. Accessions 3560-1 through 3560-20 represent the original body of papers donated to the University of Washington Libraries shortly after the Senator's death. The papers were divided into separate accessions by date and material type to facilitate processing as well as early access by researchers. Accessions 21 through 30 contain materials that were added subsequently. Accessions 31 through 34 were created in 2007 when audio, moving image, and photographic and graphic materials in the collection were reprocessed and relisted.


Restrictions on Access

The Jackson papers are open to all researchers with the following exceptions:

The case files in accessions 3560-1 (pre-congressional papers), 3560-6 (FPD papers), 3560-8 (House case files) and 3560-14 (Senate case files) as well as any individual case files in other accessions are restricted to use by graduate students, university faculty members, and others doing similar serious research. These users must sign a statement indicating an understanding of the restrictions on the dissemination of information contained in these files. These conditions also apply to the microfilm of outgoing letters in accession 3560-19, which includes correspondence from constituent case files.

The Joel Merkel subgroup in box 330 of accession 3560-5 (Senate papers) is closed until an undetermined date before 2011.


Restrictions on Use

Literary rights to the Jackson papers have been transferred to the University of Washington. However, copyright restrictions apply to incoming letters and may apply to many of the photographs, moving image materials, sound recordings, and political cartoons. Researchers are advised to consult with the staff of the Special Collections Division, University of Washington Libraries for further information.


Acquisition Info

The main body of Jackson's papers was donated to the University of Washington Libraries by his widow, Mrs. Helen Jackson, after his death in 1983, with a small quantity of additional materials from his home in Everett donated in 1985. This part of the collection makes up accessions 3560-1 through 3560-20.

The Libraries subsequently acquired additional materials between 1991 and 1995 from the Jackson family and other sources, including former campaign aide Richard S. Page and Laszlo Pal. These materials, which include papers that became separated from the rest of Jackson's papers when his office was closed, make up accessions 3560-21 through 3560-30.

Accessions 31 through 34 were created in 2007 when audio, moving image, and photographic and graphic materials in the collection were reprocessed and relisted.


Processing Info

The main body of Jackson's papers was processed between the summer of 1984 and June of 1987 contemporaneously with the papers of Jackson's colleague, Warren G. Magnuson. Funding for what was known as the Congressional Papers Project was provided by a special grant from the Washington State Legislature. The papers were divided into separate accessions by date and material type to facilitate processing and early access by researchers. Accessions 3560-21 through 3560-30 were processed as they were acquired. Accession 3560-28 is a merger of accessions 3560-22, 3560-25 and 3560-27. Accession 3560-032 is a merger of accessions 3560-009 and 3560-018. Accession 3560-033 is a merger of accessions 3560-015, 3560-027, 3560-023, and 3560-024.

While all the constituent case files from Jackson's House years were retained, all but a representative sampling (10%) of the case files from the last four years of Jackson's Senate career (1980-1983) were discarded during processing. Representative case files from Jackson's Senate years up to 1980 were retained in the papers of Warren G. Magnuson, accession 3181-10. Magnuson served in the Senate from 1945 to 1980.

From the large volume of legislative correspondence in accessions 3560-4 and 3560-5, only a representative number of letters regarding each bill or issue was kept. If the original volume of letters was 3 inches or less, all was kept; 3-6 inches, 50%; more than 6 inches, 20%. The folders which were sampled are identified on the inventory and by a slip of paper in the file which indicates how much of the material was retained. In addition, only 50% of the letters of condolence received by Jackson's family after his death was retained.

Scope and Content
The pre-congressional papers of Henry M. Jackson date primarily from his time as Snohomish County's prosecuting attorney. However, aside from some campaign ephemera and a small amount of personal papers, this accession includes only materials generated by the private law practice he maintained while he was the prosecuting attorney. The materials consist largely of general correspondence and case files. His correspondence touches on many of the local political issues of the day, including his unsuccessful bid to be named Snohomish County Superior Court Judge and his decision to run for Congress in 1940. The case files consist of seven folders of correspondence relating to a variety of cases. They reveal a small, post-Depression law practice with the usual assortment of wills, deeds, contracts, and collection disputes.

Accession No. 3560-002
House papers, 1940-1952
circa 66 cubic feet
Scope and Content
This accession documents Jackson's six terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. Arrangement of the papers follows that established by Jackson's staff and used throughout Jackson's congressional career. The filing categories include General (personal) Correspondence, Departmental Correspondence, Legislative Correspondence, Legislation-HMJ Sponsored Bills, Campaign Materials, Speeches and Writings, Lists, News Releases, Publications, Clippings, Scrapbooks, Subject Series, and Appointment Books.
General Correspondence consists of the Jackson's correspondence with friends and associates on a variety of personal and political topics. They are arranged alphabetically by correspondent. Some write on issues of national or regional importance, such as Edward Allen on fisheries, Oliver Colvin on merchant marine development, Frank Killien on commodity controls and allocations, Charles Gable on Everett housing problems, and General Mark Clark the 5th Army's Rapido River attack during World War II. Other correspondents, such as Nick Bez, Addis Gutmann, Harry Henson and Rogan Jones, touch on a variety of state political issues. Jackson had a network of correspondents feeding him information on political activities in his district. These correspondents included Frank and Leslie Cooper (Snohomish_ County), Orland Iverson (Whatcom County), Axel Nelson (Skagit County), Joseph Pemberton (Bellingham) and Phil Sheridan (Everett).
The Departmental Correspondence includes letters with various federal agencies, as well as constituent information and assistance requests bucked to agencies. They are arranged alphabetically by department or agency. The correspondence reflects a typical range of wartime and postwar problems: commodity shortages and rationing, demobilization, price controls, surplus military property disposition, etc. These files include documentation on Jackson's work to help secure funding for federal projects and facilities in the state, including military bases, Everett shipyards, Columbia Basin dam and irrigation projects, Puget Sound river and harbor improvement projects, and Olympic National Park. There are additional files on state projects among the House Rivers and Harbors Committee and the House Flood Control Committee records. These topics are also documented in the Subject Series.
The Correspondence with legislative colleagues (filed under "U.S. House" and "U.S. Senate") consists mainly of routine thank yous and birthday greetings, but a few letters do touch on the political maneuvering in Congress. The voluminous correspondence with John Salter, his aide, describes Congressional activities, particularly during the time Jackson was in the Army in 1942-43.
The Legislative Correspondence consists of letters between Jackson and his constituents on the legislative issues of the day, including education (Borden Bill), housing, Japanese relocation camps, public power, universal military training and un-American activities. Jackson's support of organized labor is reflected in a number of files, including those on the Taft-Hartley Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act and assorted other labor and anti-labor bills. His views on many of these legislative topics are further developed in his Speeches and Writings, which also often contain collected background material on a given topic.
Legislative materials can be found throughout several series besides the Legislative Correspondence series. In fact, materials in the Legislative Correspondence series overlaps topically with material in the Legislation-HMJ Sponsored Bills series, in which Jackson's own legislative program is most evident. Papers related to the drafting and passage of legislation can be found in the Subject Series, Speeches and Writings, and News Releases. These series contain notes, speech drafts, press releases, staff memoranda and additional correspondence. Legislative materials can also be found in the files of the various committees on which Jackson sat.
Jackson's own legislative program is most evident in the Sponsored Bills series and in the committee files. He worker) on a number of regionally significant issues. Public power development was one of Jackson's priorities. In 1946 and 1949 he co-sponsored bills to establish a Columbia Valley Authority. And although he, Hugh B. Mitchell, Warren G. Magnuson and other Northwest Legislators pushed this issue for several years, the CVA was never established. Additional material on the CVA is in the Departmental and Legislative Correspondence and in the Subject Series, as well as in the Mitchell (acc. no. 927) and Magnuson (acc. no. 3181-3) papers. Jackson also dealt with public power issues as a member (after 1947) of the House Appropriations Committee Interior Subcommittee. In his campaign literature he touted the fact that he was the only Western States member of this subcommittee. .
Jackson represented Washington State natural resources interests as a member of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee and various of its subcommittees, where he worked on a variety of fishing and shipping problems. This committee was Jackson's first choice for assignment when he entered the House.
Jackson's growing interest in atomic energy issues is documented in the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy sub-series. In 1948 Jackson was named to the Congressional Joint Atomic Energy Committee, an assignment he kept even after his election as Senator in 1952. Although this committee assignment presages Jackson's later interest in national security and nuclear weaponry, at this time he was most interested in the development of the Atomic Energy Commission's Hanford Site. While much of the material is related to administrative issues at the Hanford site, the sub-series also contains materials outlining Jackson's early views on the role of nuclear arms in the nation's defense policy.
Native American affairs were a particular concern from 1944 to 1947 when Jackson served as a member of the House Indian Affairs Committee and co-sponsored the Indian Claims Commission Bill. The Commission was established in 1946, providing Native Americans with a means to seek redress for treaty violations. There was a five year limit on filing claims and a ten year limit on the life of the commission. Prior to the establishment of the commission, Native American had been barred from the federal courts, pursuant to an 1863 law.
The Scrapbooks were assembled by Jackson's staff and include mostly clippings on topics of interest. The contents were removed from their original notebooks, then foldered, labeled, and arranged chronologically and then alphabetically by subject within each year. Microfilm copies of the scrapbooks from this accession are found in accession 3560-20.
This accession reveals a young, progressive congressman focused primarily on issues of local and regional interest. The General Correspondence includes letters from Jackson's network of political allies keeping him abreast of developments around the state. Correspondence with his aide, John L. Salter, provides a rich description of congressional activities, particularly during the time Jackson was in the army in 1943-1944.
The Campaign Material series contains materials related to Jackson's congressional re-election campaigns in 1942, 1944, 1946, 1948, and 1950. The materials include correspondence, speeches and writings, news releases, clippings, and financial records and are arranged chronologically by campaign.
Restrictions on Access
Open to all users; however, researchers who use Departmental Correspondence (boxes 8-26) must sign a release form agreeing not to divulge the identity of any individual named in a case file.
Restrictions on Access
Users must use microfilm copies of scrapbooks instead of originals.
Alternate Forms Available
Microfilm of the scrapbooks is available. Accession No. 3560-020, Microfilm Drawer 19.
Processing Info
Constituent case files from this period were separated and are found in accession 3560-008.
The original filing categories of the papers have been maintained or reconstructed wherever possible. These papers include three basic correspondence series -- General, Departmental and Legislative -- four sets of subject files -- Jackson Sponsored Bills, Campaign Materials, Speeches and Writings and Subject Series -- and several sets of committee files. The papers of John Salter, Jackson's aide, make up the final subgroup of the accession. In the late 1970s one of Jackson's aides had attempted to put the materials from this period in some order. Unfortunately he mixed much of the Legislative and Departmental correspondence together, creating artificial subject groupings. We have reconstructed the original filing order, based on notations on the materials themselves.
Duplicates and non-essential materials have been discarded or returned to the Jackson family. The latter include tear sheets from The Congressional Record, unannotated published material, personal financial receipts and documents such as insurance policies.
