AGENCY: Governor (2021- : Cox)
SERIES: 4466
TITLE: Outgoing correspondence
DATES: 1977-1984.
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by date.
DESCRIPTION: This series contains outgoing correspondence, intra-office memoranda and state-wide memoranda from Governor Matheson and his office staff to constituents, state and local governmental offices, and organizations within and outside of Utah. The correspondence reflects the Governor's position on a variety of issues as well as general administrative tasks of the Governor's staff. Some of the correspondence is written by Governor Matheson in his capacity as chairman of the Western Governors' Policy Office (WESTPO), and as chairman of the National Governors' Association's Subcommittee on Water Management. A significant portion of the correspondence was generated by Kent Briggs, the Governor's Administrative Assistant for State/Federal Affairs, and later the State Planning Coordinator and chairman of the MX Task Force. The files in this series may have served as duplicate records of correspondence found in other series, created for the effective management of the duties of the Governor's office; it is uncertain how much of the correspondence in this series is unique and how much is duplicated in other series containing Matheson's correspondence.
