SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

Leonard Ray Blanton (1930-1996) was the 44th Governor of Tennessee. The Governor

Ray Blanton Papers (1975-1979) represent an official record of these years. Totaling

115.68 cubic feet or 289 filing boxes, the Blanton Papers are arranged under boards and

commissions, correspondence, governor’s files, legal counsel, photographs, policy

planning, press and information office, reports, scheduling, speeches and subject files.

During the Blanton years there were many statewide and national news events, several

of which were controversial: Governor Blanton’s acceptance of a $20,000 salary

increase; a pie-throwing incident at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga; the

Western State Mental Hospital investigation of 1975; Blanton’s trade mission trip to

Africa, the Middle East and Europe; extending time for the ratification of the Equal

Rights Amendment; the escape of James Earl Ray from the Brushy Mountain penitentiary

and his subsequent recapture; Governor Blanton’s veto of a legislative bill to restore

capital punishment; the energy crisis of 1976-1977; the United Nations representatives

visit to Nashville in 1976; the F.B.I. investigation into alleged irregularities in the

granting of pardons, executive clemencies and extraditions; the reorganization or

restructuring of the executive department; negative news reporting charges made by

Blanton at the media; the state surplus car scandal; the International Woman’s Year

(IWY) Conference in 1977; the Constitutional Convention of 1977; and Governor

Blanton’s pardoning of Roger Humphreys, along with 51 inmates of the state

penitentiary, 20 of whom were convicted murderers.

Correspondence comprises over one third of the collection. The correspondence is

arranged under departmental and general sub-series. The correspondence covers a wide

range of subjects which reflect the concerns and interests of Tennesseans of this time

period. In addition to the events previously cited above, letters from residents included

numerous concerns and requests over the use of the Lear jet by the Governor; autographs,

pictures of enforcement; traffic ticket complaints; the proposed Panama Canal treaty;

state flags; Social Security benefits; a proposed defense facility at Milan, Tennessee; the

proposed 1-440 “outer” loop in Nashville; conditions of facilities at state parks; and

Blanton’s decision not to seek a second term. Although the correspondence has not been

indexed, there is a selected “Index of Names and Subjects” included in the register.

The Legal Counsel is the second largest series in the collection. Within this part of the

collection are the records of the F.B.I. investigation of Governor Blanton on pardons,

executive clemencies and extraditions. However, these records represent only a small

portion of the series. Also included are the incoming and outgoing correspondence of the

Board of Pardons and Paroles, extradition cases, judicial appointments, lawsuits and

legislation. One of the significant lawsuits is the Marie F. Ragghianti v. Ray Blanton case

which concerns the dismissal of Mrs. Ragghianti from the Chairmanship of the Board of

Pardons and Paroles by Governor Blanton.

The Press and Information Office contains news briefs from The Tennessean and

Nashville Banner and press releases, both arranged chronologically. Among the more

informative reports are the “Goals and Objectives of State Government in Tennessee”

and the “UN Visits Tennessee.”

Scheduling includes the correspondence pertaining to invitations to the Governor for

public appearances and the responses to these requests from the Scheduling Office.

Speeches are arranged alphabetically and by date. Many of the speeches by Governor

Blanton (such as the “State-of-the-State” messages) were originally drafted by his speech

writer (Marion S. Peck) and other Governor assistants. Others were probably delivered

extemporaneously by the Governor for less formal occasions. A few speeches by other

members of the Blanton administration are included as well.

Subject files include applications for various commissioner positions as well as

materials relating to such scandals as the disposal of state surplus property and the

treatment of patients at Western State Psychiatric Hospital.

The “Organization Chart” of the office of the Governor offers an overview of the

structural make-up of the executive department. Where obtainable, the dates of the

service are listed. Several of the support staff served in various capacities and, therefore,

are named more than once. In those cases where individuals cannot be properly placed

within the office organization, they are listed alphabetically on a separated sheet.

Boxes 254 through 261 are an Addition to the Governor Ray Blanton Papers. Where

necessary additional entries were made to the “Index of Names and Subjects” in order to

reflect this increase.

Boxes 262 through 289 are a second addition to the Governor Ray Blanton Papers.

Added in December 2019, materials in this addition fit within the scope and content

aforementioned. Original series and subseries were kept. Items include materials added to

the boards and commissions, correspondence, governor’s files, legal counsel,

photographs, press and information office, reports, and speeches series. The largest

portion of materials in the addition went into the legal counsel series. Most of the legal

counsel material is related to executive clemency/commutation/pardon requests. Judicial

appointments material follows at a close second. Topics of interest include files kept by

the governor’s legal office on political candidates (Boxes 265-266) and a file on James

Earl Ray (Box 271). Note: the photographic negatives and slides (Boxes 274-276)

contain a few negatives for photographs contained in the original collection (Box 191).

One photograph of Gov. Blanton with Marie Ragghianti and her daughter (Box 272, f.

27) is a copy print of a photograph from the Tennessee Department of Conservation

Photograph Collection (RG 82).
