Collection Overview
The papers of Samuel P. Hayes in the Kennedy Library stem from Hayes's service as consultant to the Peace Corps (1960-1962). It was during this time that Hayes was asked by the Kennedy campaign staff to prepare a pamphlet considering the feasibility of an international peace corps. Hayes complied by writing a pamphlet eventually titled An International Peace Corps: The Promise and the Problems. It should be noted that this same pamphlet appears under several different names.
Researchers are advised to consult the President's Office Files, the White House Central Subject Files, the William Josephson papers, the Peace Corps microfilm, and the list of oral history interviews in the Kennedy Library for additional information on the Peace Corps.
