The complete set of chronologically arranged Personal Notes presents GML's frank view of his activities as NASA Deputy Administrator. Appended to each set of Notes are enclosures, such as correspondence, memoranda and meeting notes, which serve to amplify topics discussed in the Notes or to document unmentioned events. The Notes describe the varied issues and aspects of NASA organization, management, and program implementation, including such ongoing activities as: development of Congressional and international relations, definition of the Space Shuttle, negotiation of NASA's budget, and agency reorganization and long range planning. In addition, the Notes provide, in part, the thought process behind GML's decisions and actions, as well as his impressions of individuals, organizations, programs and events.
