The papers of Clyde E. Herring consist of four boxes of manuscripts dating from 1959 to 1964, which document his service on the Interstate Commerce Commission. The four linear feet of materials are arranged (for the most part) chronologically. Subject files and carbons of outgoing letters make up the collection. These files reflect both personal events such as his first swearing in ceremony as well as commerce commission business. The business files include topics ranging from the Railroad Transportation Institute to the Iowa Motor Truck Association or from the American Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association to the Intercoastal Lumber Association. Many of his speeches and addresses are also included in the papers.
