Scope and Content
Major responsibilities of the Press Office under Governor Rick Perry included providing public relations support for Governor Perry and First Lady Anita Perry by issuing press releases and media advisories on their activities and actions; writing speeches and public service announcements for them; and creating visual and audio documentation of their public events. Speech files of this office provide information on speaking engagements, interviews, debates, and press conferences for the governor, 2001-2014, undated. Records comprise paper and electronic records used in preparing speeches and documentation of speeches as they were presented including introductions and biographical information, question and answers, talking points, fact sheets, scripts for video and audio public service announcements, formal statements, and formatted remarks.
Fact sheets and talking points include resources presented to the governor when attending public events or giving interviews. Speeches are mainly text and draft copies, including copies of inaugural and State of the State addresses. Governor Perry spoke at commencement ceremonies, chambers of commerce and association meetings, committee meetings, political fund-raisers, and events. Speeches focus on subjects such as legislative matters, higher education and public education, economic issues such as tax relief and the budget, natural resources in Texas, military forces and veterans, and border security. One folder of speeches was created by Deputy Director of Communications Andrew Barlow. Scripts include text for audio and video greetings, phone hold messages, and public service announcements by the governor.
Formats of the original electronic files include word processing or plain text files (.doc, .docx, .txt), spreadsheets (.xls., xlsx), PDFs, PowerPoint and webpages. Digital files presented for public use will generally be PDF for text documents or spreadsheets. Files in their original format are available on request; restrictions may apply.
Arrangement
These records are arranged in alphabetical order based on subject, as organized by the originating agency. Within each folder, records are arranged chronologically.
