{"value"=>"<p>Working in conjunction with the mission chiefs, the Overseas Operations Department staff is responsible for the administration of CARE's missions, including the acquisition and maintenance of supplies and equipment, the dissemination of information to and from each mission, and personnel and budgetary matters.</p> <p>Over ninety percent of this series consists of intra-CARE correspondence, in particular the numbered letters and cables exchanged between each mission and CARE headquarters in New York, and the log books in which each item of correspondence was recorded. There are also relatively complete runs of CARE's numbered administrative memos, 1947-1983, and ALMISes (letters from headquarters to all missions), 1957-1986.</p> <p>The remainder of materials in Series 3 consists of administrators' files, chiefly those of Bertran Smucker, who in 1958 became the director of Overseas Operations (then a division of Operations), and was the assistant executive director of Overseas Operations from 1965 to 1979. The series also includes a fairly complete run of discursive reports by country directors, 1946-1984; disaster files documenting CARE's response to natural catastrophes such as floods and earthquakes; and reports and other items from CARE's world and regional conferences.</p>"}
