Scope and Contents note
This series is comprised of letters about Hobby's appointment as the first Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

Except for the handwritten notes, these files for the most part duplicate, but do not encompass the scope of the materials at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library. The Office Files include materials on her Education Program, the Salk Vaccine, Segregation and Social Security. There are also several speeches she gave and statements issued by the Department.
