Government: ICC, Motor Carriers, General, 1958

This series consists of the office files of the RLEA for 1954-1959. Like the files in series I, these records were stored as inactive records; however, these files were kept in their active filing order. The files are arranged in the original RLEA file structure and ordered chronologically under each file name. The files are divided into 7 record groups: Government, Legislation, Other Organizations, Court Cases, International Affairs, RLEA, and General Files.

Of note in the Government Record group are the records of the Mutual Security Agency, which was responsible for the administration of the Marshall Plan. Also of note in this record group is the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) study on the deficit in passenger trains, the files on the Bracero program, and the files on the State Department, including the records of the Pan-American Railway Congress. In the Legislation Record group, the records of the Congressional Hearing on the Railroad Situation address the growing problems in the industry. This is also apparent in the General Records Group, which contains files on growing commuter problems in urban areas.

Also of interest are the plans for the Railway Labor Building in Washington DC, which include blueprints and photographs of the site as the building was constructed.
