The material in this collection consists of correspondence, memoranda, reports, publications and personnel materials that represent the function of the Office of the Chief of Staff. This collection also focus on the development of budgets and policies; the process of reorganization of the White House; and the establishment of relations with Congress. A substantial portion of the material relates to Jordan’s role as political adviser to the President and special administration goals such as: a separate Department of Education, Middle East initiatives and the passage of the Panama Canal Treaties. The Hamilton Jordan’s Confidential Files (Containers 33-37) are in the Digital Library.

The duties of the White House Chief of Staff vary greatly from one administration to another. However, the Chief of Staff has been responsible for overseeing the actions of the White House staff, managing the president's schedule, and deciding who is allowed to meet with the president.

These materials explain how the Chief of Staff was responsible for coordinating administration initiatives between White House staff and advisers, cabinet members, and Congress. This office also oversaw the appointment and selection of Executive Branch personnel.

As Chief of Staff, Hamilton Jordan acted as a political adviser to the President and continued to do so until he left the administration in May 1980 to run the Carter-Mondale Re-election campaign. Although he performed similar duties as Assistant to the President, Jordan's position was largely un-structured until 1979 when he was assigned the formal title of Chief of Staff.

Various staff members were assigned to this office under the direction of Hamilton Jordan from 1979-80 and Jack Watson from 1980-81. They were assigned special duties or projects: Alonzo McDonald as Deputy Chief of Staff - Staff Director; S. Stephen Selig III as Special Assistant for Business Liaison; Landon Butler as Special Assistant for Labor Matters; Mark Siegel as Deputy Assistant for Policy Analysis; Richard Hutcheson III as Staff Secretary; Bernard Aronson as Deputy Assistant for Labor Liaison; Thomas Belford in charge of the Reorganization Project; George Moffett as Confidential Assistant; Michael Rowny as Deputy Assistant to the Staff Director; Eleanor Connors as Confidential Assistant to the Chief of Staff; Betty Rainwater as Deputy Assistant for Research; Laurie Lucey as Executive Assistant/Panama Canal Treaties; Amelia Parker as Research Assistant for Policy Analysis; Edie Draper as Administrative Assistant; and Bill Simpson as Deputy Assistant.
