FILES AS EXECUTIVE SECRETARY TO GOVERNOR MEYNER, 1956-1959

Summary: Partial documentation of Byrne's activities first as Assistant Counsel and then as Executive Secretary to Governor Robert B. Meyner. The documents reflect several job functions, including taking notes and minutes for cabinet meetings, keeping the Governor's schedule and testifying on behalf of the Governor. Included in the series are handwritten notes, letters, memoranda, itineraries, press releases, scripts and testimony.

Cabinet meeting records consist primarily of Byrne's handwritten minutes and notes, and also include type written agendas.

Among the documents in the series is a copy of Byrne's statement before the Subcommittee on Rivers and Harbors of the Public Works Committee of the House of Representatives, on behalf of Governor Meyner, July 12, 1956.

Press releases, while hailing from the Governor's office in general, either make mention of Byrne or are reprints of statements by Byrne. The film and TV scripts, which includes the schedule for a 1957 telethon, feature appearances by Byrne, in addition to those by Governor Meyner.
