                            SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE



     The papers of William E. Odom span the years 1972-90 but
primarily focus on the years between l977 and 1988 when Odom
served as military assistant to Zbigniew Brzezinski, as assistant
chief of staff for intelligence of the United States Army, and as
director of the National Security Agency.  The collection
consists of personal and official correspondence, daily activity
logs, subject files, speeches and writings, scrapbooks,
photographs, and some printed matter.  The official files include
several folders which contain national security information.

     General Odom earned a national reputation as an expert on
the Soviet Union.  Early in his military career he had an
opportunity to observe Soviet military activities while serving
as a member of the United States military liaison to Soviet
forces in Potsdam, Germany.  From 1966 to 1969 he taught courses
in Russian history at the United States Military Academy at West
Point, New York, and while serving as assistant army attache at
the United States embassy in Moscow in the early 1970s, he
visited all the republics of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics.  Upon returning to the United States, he resumed his
career at West Point where he taught courses in Soviet politics. 
His book, _The Soviet Volunteers_, was published in 1974. 
However, the only material in the Odom Papers from this phase of
his career consists of a folder of official telegrams and
intelligence reports which Odom had assembled in preparation for
a working paper while on the faculty at West Point.

     The corpus of the collection begins with Odom's appointment
as military assistant to the assistant to the president for
national security affairs in January 1977.  The correspondence
files for this period are generally personal, concerning
arrangements for speeches and participation in forums and
conferences.  The letters reflect the respect of colleagues in
the military and academic community for Odom's expertise and
opinions regarding the Soviet Union.  Many of the letters also
emphasize Odom's continuing interest in the quality of education
received by military officers.  Others pertain to curricula of
universities and the continual training of military officials. 
Daily logs of Odom's activities and the files relating to the
presidential directives on defense policy offer the most
significant record for a study of government policy.  The logs
provide insight into the operations of the White House and issues
discussed at National Security Council meetings.  They were
maintained irregularly in 1977 but are more complete for the
later years.  They form an index to the problems and activities
with which Odom was concerned on a daily basis.  Some entries are
cursory jottings; others are more expansive, containing Odom's
opinions, impressions, and summaries of events.  The notations
record agenda for meetings of the National Security Council and
the Special Coordination Committee on the Persian Gulf framework,
reactions of participants, meetings with government officials and
others, telephone calls, and briefings attended or delivered,
including preparations for trips by the president.  Issues
highlighted include strategic defense policy matters,
particularly those pertaining to American-Soviet relations; the
hostages in Iran; presidential directives on the situation in the
Persian Gulf; President Jimmy Carter's executive order on
telecommunications policy; the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan;
terrorism and hijackings; the Middle East; strategic arms
limitations talks; and the "continuation of government" during
military crises or other threats to normal government operations. 
The entry for the morning of 20 January  1981 is a poignant
description of the atmosphere and activities at the White House
during the last hours of the Carter administration as staff
exchanged last farewells and monitored the status of the flight
carrying the American hostages released from Iran.

     In assessing his years at the White House, Odom viewed the
series of memoranda he drafted, which culminated in several
presidential directives on strategic defense policy, as
responsible for turning the United States from a "de facto policy
of strategic retreat in the world to a policy of strategic and
regional competition with Soviet power."  Copies of several of
these documents pertaining to the evolution of policy change are
included among the classified documents in the Odom Papers.

     Odom's papers for his years as the army's assistant chief of
staff for intelligence and as director of the National Security
Agency naturally relate to matters of defense and intelligence. 
Many of the letters and documents concern training in
intelligence-gathering methods used by the military and other
government agencies.  Other papers focus on the study of Soviet
military personnel and organization, including the Nitze Group's
analysis of Soviet views of strategic competition.   Additional
topics discussed in the letters and documents are the development
of a defense strategy, formulation of an arms control policy, and
the structure of a modern military establishment.  There are also
frequent references to the writings of Samuel Huntington, a
person Odom believed to be "unexcelled" in tough and sound
reasoning on strategic relationships.  As in the earlier files,
the predominant subjects in the personal correspondence are
conferences covering various aspects of the intelligence field
and curricula for training classes.  Again the daily logs for
1981-88 add descriptive detail and insightful commentary on each
day's activity.  Further explanations of Odom's views on  United
States and Soviet foreign policy, approaches to developments in
military strategy, and the current role of intelligence in the
modern army and in international affairs can be found in the
articles and speeches in the Speeches and Writings File.

     Correspondents in the Odom Papers include Anne L. Armstrong,
Zbigniew K. Brzezinski, George F. Kennan, Eugene C. Meyer, Edward
L. Rowny, John W. Warner, and John A. Wickham.
