FRANCES G. KNIGHT PAPERS
Herbert Hoover Presidential Library
West Branch, Iowa
Biography
Frances Gladys Knight was born on July 22, 1905 in Newport, Rhode Island. Of British and Czech parentage, Frances spent her childhood primarily in New York City, where her father, Frederick, worked as a butler. At the age of 11, young Frances appeared in an article in a New York newspaper, in which she asked readers to help her decide upon her ambiguous nationality, in the hope that they would decide that she was indeed an American citizen. This interest in issues of identity and citizenship at a young age seemed to presage her later career in the Department of State as Director of the Passport Office, where she sought to shape a number of policies that centered on these issues.
After studying in Paris, Prague and Monaco for three years in her late teens, Frances returned to New York, enrolling in a secretarial course at a vocational school, and later studying journalism at New York University. During this time she worked as a secretary and assistant editor for various church publications, before landing a job as chief of the editorial division with the National Recovery Administration in 1934. Throughout the next decade, Knight worked in Washington in a series of editorial and public relations jobs for a variety of Federal government agencies, including the Works Progress Administration, White House Conference on Children, Treasury Department, National Defense Advisory Commission, Office of Emergency Management, and the Office of Civilian Defense. She also worked for American Aviation Publications, a company founded by her second husband, Wayne W. Parrish, who she married in 1935.
Following a stint as public relations director with the American Retail Association from 1946-1948, Knight returned to government service, initially as a consultant to the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. In 1949, however, she was hired as a radio information specialist with the Office of International Information (later the U.S. Information Agency) in the State Department, which marked the beginning of an association with that department that would last until her retirement three decades later. In 1952 she was appointed assistant deputy administrator of the recently created Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs. Although this department handled passport and visa functions, the main thrust of her job was to assist the Administrator, Scott McLeod, with the direction of the security program within the State Department. Through this work she became familiar with the operations of the Passport Office and its director, Ruth Shipley, and was therefore picked to replace Shipley when the latter retired in 1955.
In the early years of her tenure at the Passport Office, Knight gained a reputation for efficiency, rapidly modernizing the operations of her department so that it could better meet the demands of travelers in the jet age. Her widely publicized improvements in the Passport Office—including her frequent boast of being one of the few Federal agencies to actually earn a profit—gained her many supporters on both sides of the aisle in Congress. At the same time, however, she often found herself in the center of controversy, as her department denied passports to a number of individuals who were either Communists or who merely had leftist political leanings. With the election of John F. Kennedy as President, a new administrator of Security and Consular Affairs, Abba P. Schwartz, was appointed in 1962. Knights soon found herself in disagreement with the more liberal policies of Schwartz in regard to passport and visa issuance policies, as well as security within the State Department. Their increasingly public feud—and the investigation of Schwartz by allies of Knight in the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee—eventually led to Schwartz’s resignation in March 1966. Shortly after this, Knight was once again embroiled in controversy as a story in the New York Times alleged that the Passport Office collaborated with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the latter agency’s surveillance of American leftist scholars abroad, most notably in the case of Professor H. Stuart Hughes of Harvard.
Although these controversies served to raise Knight’s profile among the general public, the late 1960s and early 1970s found her occupied with a host of administrative issues within the Passport Office. These included struggles to gain funding for increased staffing and field offices, the development of a machine-readable passport, and the fight against document fraud. This latter issue led her to suggest the creation of a national identification card for each citizen, which was vociferously opposed by civil-liberties groups in 1975. During these years, Knight channeled her increasing discontent with her superiors within the State Department—including Schwartz’s successor, Barbara Watson—into widely distributed “Christmas letters” that were sent to members of Congress and friends in the press. She also sought the removal of “Kennedy and Johnson holdovers” from the State Department during the Nixon and Ford Administrations, and was disappointed when this didn’t happen in the way that she had hoped. As she approached the mandatory retirement age of 70, she fought two widely publicized campaigns to remain in her post, and succeeded in doing so until 1977, when Secretary of State Cyrus Vance refused her a third extension.
In retirement, Knight sought to remain politically active, promoting causes such as immigration reform and offering her services to the transition teams of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. Bush. Knight died in Bethesda, Maryland at the age of 94 on September 11, 1999.
The Frances G. Knight Papers contain 48.7 linear feet of material divided into three broad categories:
Personal-Biographical: This series, comprising 9.1 linear feet, contains material that focuses more directly on Knight, rather than the administration of the Passport Office. Topics covered include political interests, press contacts, the controversy surrounding her forced retirement in 1977, drafts of her planned autobiography, awards and honors, as well as subseries containing her personal correspondence, calendars, speeches, and photographs. Material is arranged by subject alphabetically, with chronological divisions within the larger subjects.
Passport Office: Knight’s tenure as director of the Passport Office is most fully documented in this series, which contains 25 linear feet of papers. The emphasis in this series is on the administration of the Passport Office and the various issues that were connected with it. Topics are arranged alphabetically—mostly by office or function—and include administrative divisions within the department, field offices, budgetary planning, passport issuance and production, personnel, and training. Broader issues connected with the functions of the department, such as document fraud, the proposed national identification card, the use of the oath of allegiance in the passport application, or the computerized lookout file on passport applicants that was maintained by the department, can also be found in the “Issues and Controversies” subseries. The subseries labeled “Correspondence—Chronological files, outgoing,” “News clippings—Chronological Files,” and “Memoranda for the Files” contain the clearest chronological overview of the development of various issues and activities within the Passport Department.
Federal Agencies: The remaining series contains documentation of Knight’s interaction with other governmental agencies in the executive and legislative branches of Federal government outside of the Passport Office, and contain 14.6 linear feet of material. Although the Passport Office was a branch of the Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs, and by extension of the Department of State, Knight’s opposition to policies and trends in both departments suggested a separate subseries for each one. Each subseries has material arranged alphabetically within further subdivisions by subject and key personnel. Furthermore, material within the subseries for the Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs is divided between 1953-1955, when Knight worked alongside the Administrator of the Bureau, and subsequent years when as Passport Office Director she often felt at odds with the Administrator. Likewise, files documenting Knight’s career in the Office of International Information (U.S. Information Agency) from 1949-1952 can be found in the Department of State subseries.
Outside of the Department of State and Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs, Knight’s contacts with a variety of other Federal agencies, as well as her extensive contacts within Congress and successive Presidential administrations, are also documented in this series. The subseries titled “Other Federal Agencies” is alphabetically arranged by agency, as is the subseries “Government Committees.” The “Congress” subseries is divided among House and Senate committees which had oversight for the funding and operations of the State Department, legislation affecting the Passport Office which was either proposed or enacted, and correspondence with individual members of Congress.
Upon the acquisition of the Frances Knight Papers in 1992, little semblance remained of any original order or filing system. Attempts were made to reconstruct whatever filing system could be deduced from Knight’s handwritten notes at the top of many of her memoranda, however, most of the system of arrangement used in these papers was created by the archivists who processed this collection.
Copies of material from some of these series, especially those that contain chronological correspondence files, can also be found in separate collections of Frances Knight’s papers in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress in Washington, as well as at the Mugar Library of Boston University. Although the Knight Papers at this library are her personal papers, official records of the Passport Office are part of the State Department records found in Records Group 59 at the National Archives and Records Adminstration in Washington DC. The papers of Abba Schwartz, Administrator of the Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs from 1962-1966, are at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston.
