Overview and metadata sections
The Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) had its roots in the Friends War Problems Committee (FWPC), which worked in 1940 with government officials who were responsible for drafting the Selective Training and Service Act. The fact that provisions for religious conscientious objectors in this legislation were broader than those of the earlier Conscription Act was due in great part to the perseverence of the FWPC. With the increasing emergence of post-war problems relating to the securing of a just and durable peace, the concern arose among Friends that a broad-based organization for dealing with them was needed. This led to a meeting convened in Richmond, Indiana, on June 11, 1943, at which the FCNL was established. A General Committee was set up, with three members selected from the various Yearly Meetings and additional members representing Friends' organizations around the country. It appointed its own Executive Committee. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the FCNL's first Executive Secretary was E. Raymond Wilson. In 1962 he became Secretary Emeritus, and Edward Snyder, who had been serving as Legislative Secretary, took his place.
The FCNL is still active (in 2009). working on such issues as preventing war, Iraq, banning cluster bombs, nuclear disarmament, immigration, Native American rights, and protecting the environment. Its web site may be accessed at http://www.fcnl.org/index.htm.
Chiefly correspondence and reference files including materials about and correspondence with other organizations including American Friends Service Committee, A Quaker Action Group, Friends Coordinating Committee on Peace, and other organizations of the Society of Friends; information on Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors, Committee for Nonviolent Action, Consultative Peace Council, Federal Council of Churches (later National Council of Churches), Fellowship of Reconciliation, National Council for Prevention of War, National Peace Conference, National Service Board for Religious Objectors, SANE, and Women's International League for Peace and Freedom; material of and relating to FCNL staff members including E. Raymond Wilson, Edward F. Snyder, George I. Bliss, Wilmer A. Cooper, Jeanette Hadley, Charles H. Harker, and Frances E. Neely; records and correspondence of several affiliated committees including Friends Committee on Legislation of Northern California (organized in 1952), Friends Committee on Legislation, Southern California Section, and Illinois-Wisconsin Friends Committee on Legislation.
Includes reference files relating to disarmament, conscription, universal military training, conscientious objection, pacifism, United Nations, Vietnam war, civil liberties, civil rights, food supply, and Indian rights. Correspondents include Stephen L. Angell, Emile Benoit, Charles J. Darlington, Thomas A. Foulke, Paul Comly French, Hugh B. Hester, Dorothy H. Hutchinson, J. Stuart Innerst, Homer A. Jack, Samuel R. Levering, Mary Cushing Niles, Philip Noel-Baker, Victor Paschkis, Lawrence Scott, Annalee Stewart, John M. Swomley, and George Willoughby.
Some series have more detailed box lists available as a PDF.
The early material from FCNL, arranged under the supervision of FCNL staff person, Jeanette Hadley, was sent to the SCPC in 1951. Subsequent accessions were added to the collection without rearrangement by SCPC staff. A very detailed checklist, including much historical background, was created by E. Raymond Wilson and is available at the SCPC for viewing. The online checklist is an attempt to interpret Wilson's somewhat confusing listing of series/boxes/folders; there may be some mistakes accordingly. It should be noted that later accessions do not follow the same Series outline.
Records of the Race Street Draft Committee (1939-1940) and the Friends War Problems Committee (1940-1943), and material from the Civilian Public Service Fund Committee of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (1941-1946) were removed to other collections.
Bound volumes of meeting minutes, newsletters, mailings and other material from the national office of FCNL (1966-current), and from the California FCL, are stored in the Periodical Collection. They will be incorporated into the FCNL Records collection when shelf space is available. Accessions of records received after 19885 are listed at the end of this finding aid, in order of receipt. These materials are unprocessed.
This entry replaces MS 60-2198.
Deposited by the Friends Committee on National Legislation, 1951 and after.

Missing January - June 1968
This series is arranged in chronological order.
Missing 1964 and 1969 is incomplete
The campaign against UMT ran intensively between 1944 and March 1952 when the UMT bill was defeated by recommittal. Folders for the various years do not follow a completely consistent pattern. Action refers to activities against UMT by the FCNL and/or other organizations.
Material for and against UMT is scattered throughout the years when date of publication was available. The most nearly complete file of National Council Against Conscription pamphlets and flyers is contained in the 1951-52 files.
Where folders contain material for more than one year, the folders are filed in the latter year.
The minutes of the FCNL contain reference to important decisions; including special campaign and financial reports of extra-budgetary funds solicited.
There is very little material in these conscription files for the years after 1955, for 1950, and 1953-54. I do not have an explanation for the small amount of material for some of the years. Apparently there was no major legislation activity and no major FCNL effort.
There is some correspondence on UMT scattered through the FCNL Correspondence files from 1944 on. For the most part, this correspondence is not indexed.
Material bearing on disarmament and FCNL sponsored disarmament activities conferences is in a special disarmament file–again, not complete in itself–which has been retained at FCNL headquarters as background material for the current international disarmament talks. This will be deposited at Swarthmore later.
Boxes 106-108 are missing.
Five bound volumes on Disarmament and Conscription in the FCNL. Library Archives in Washington covering the period 1944- . Some, but not all, of the material is on file at the Wilmington College Library.
Complete sets of Conscription News no. 1-252 running from 1944-1959 published by the National Council Against Conscription and edited and largely written by John Swomley. One set is on file in the Swarthmore Peace Collection, one bound set in the Library of Congress, and one set in the FCNL archives.
The FCNL Washington Newsletter, action bulletins, and FCNL memos from 1944 through 1969 will give a partial running summary of major conscription developments.
Hearings before House and Senate Committees over the years, some of which have been transferred to Swarthmore, some of which are on file at the FCNL, and others of which can be consulted in the Library of Congress.
There is no complete segregation in these FCNL files between activities against Universal Military Training (UMT), Selective Service enactment and extension, and against compulsory reserve system, so the labels on the folders are not completely accurate at this point.
This series contains work files and reference files about universal military training (UMT), conscription, and disarmament. These files are suggestions only and not definitive about the activities of the FCNL in these various areas. These files should be checked against the FCNL newsletters and the rest of the material in the FCNL bound volumes in the FCNL headquarters, against the cumulative gray boxes of reference material in the FCNL library which are weeded out from time to time, and against the correspondence files.

Participants included Lt. General Raymond S. McLain, Major General Lewis B. Hershey, John Swomley, and E. Raymond Wilson. The subject of the forum was "Do We Need UMT NOW?"

Mainly from NCPW files. The materials in this box turned up after the FCNL UMT and Conscription files were completed. Most of the material came from the National Council for Prevention of War files, which Frederick J. Libby gave years ago to Raymond Wilson. There was not time available to check against the other boxes so there will be some duplication, nor was there time to re-sort the contents by years, hence the folders overlap in years. It seemed logical to put this with the conscription files. UMT, Peacetime Conscription, and SElective Service are used somewhat interchangeably in these files so the debates and actions regarding extension of selective service are not all clearly segregated.
Includes material on the nurses draft.
