Abstract: J. Thomas Ratchford served as the AAAS Associate Executive Officer from 1977 to 1989, during which time he was involved in governance and managerial issues over the shape of AAAS and broader policy issues that affected the association and science as a whole. Ratchford also served as the director of the AAAS Office of International Science, focusing on the cultivation of a network connecting scientists and scientific associations around the world, and as the staff officer for the AAAS Climate Project.

Scope and Contents
J. Thomas Ratchford served as the AAAS Associate Executive Officer from 1977 to 1989. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Virginia, concentrating on condensed matter physics. Prior to AAAS, Ratchford served as a science consultant to the Committee on Science and Technology, U.S. House of Representatives. After leaving AAAS, he served as the Associate Director for Policy and International Affairs for the White House Office of Science and Technology from 1989-1993.
Working with Executive Officer William Carey, Ratchford was involved in governance and managerial issues involving the shape of AAAS and monitored broader policy issues that affected the association and science as a whole. He worked with Carey on carrying out recommendations by the AAAS Committee on Future Directions, created by the Board of Directors in 1975, for organizational changes intended to better enable AAAS to carry out its declared objectives. Ratchford's papers document the search process for a new headquarters in the 1980s, resulting in a move from and final sale of the association's 1515 Massachusetts Avenue building to the Embassy of Tunisia in 1985. His files outline the feasibility studies and discussions for Science80, a bimonthly science magazine for an educated but non-scientific public readership that folded by 1986. His files also include description of AAAS exploration into the desirability of founding a regional division in the Southeastern United States. Among larger social issues affecting science, AAAS participated in the House and Senate debates over recombinant DNA research in the late 1970s. Ratchford helped create an advisory council for Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) and assisted scientists in arranging meetings with other members of Congress.
As Associate Executive Officer, Ratchford oversaw the AAAS Programs Center, a division that housed the Office of International Science, the Office of Public Sector Programs, the Office of Opportunities in Science, and the Office of Science and Technology Education. He also served as the director of the AAAS Office of International Science from 1978 to 1989, succeeding Irene Tinker. The OIS was established in 1973 to facilitate communication between AAAS members and scientists abroad. One of Ratchford's major interests at OIS was developing a network of contacts with scientists and scientific associations around the world. Under Ratchford, OIS continued to develop a Consortium of Affiliates for International Programs, a group of AAAS affiliates who meet yearly to discuss international issues and programs, and continued to support AAAS charter membership of Interciencia, a federation of AAAS-like associations of science throughout North, South, and Central America chartered in Venezuela in 1975. OIS often invited delegates from foreign scientific associations to attend AAAS annual meetings and frequently co-sponsored symposia in other countries. The most frequent of these "exchanges" were with the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST). The first delegation to China was in 1978, when the AAAS Board of Directors visited the country for three weeks. In ensuing years, delegations from CAST were invited to attend AAAS annual meetings. AAAS also sponsored joint symposiums with foreign scientific associations, including the 1985 symposium on "Strengthening of Science and Technology Capacity in Bangladesh," co-sponsored by the Bangladesh Association for the Advancement of Science. Complementing these initiatives, OIS sponsored a series of seminars for foreign attachés posted at embassies in Washington, D.C. Ratchford also served as the staff liaison for the AAAS Committee on Climate and staff officer for the AAAS Climate Project.
Records include administrative records, reports, and correspondence.
