N2  - Correspondence, memoranda, minutes, reports, legislation, notes, speeches, testimony, publications, newsletters, press releases, photographs, newspaper clippings, and other printed matter, chiefly 1944-1977, primarily reflecting the efforts of Olya Margolin as the council's Washington, D.C., representative from 1944 to 1978.  Topics include the aged, child care, consumer issues, education, employment, economic assistance to foreign countries, food and nutrition, housing, immigration, Israel, Jewish life and culture, juvenile delinquency, national health insurance, social welfare, trade, and women's rights.  Special concerns emerged in each decade, including nuclear warfare, European refugees, postwar price controls, and the establishment of the United Nations during the 1940s; the NCJW's Freedom Campaign against McCarthyism in the 1950s; civil rights and sex discrimination in the 1960s; and abortion, human rights, the Equal Rights Amendment, and Soviet Jewry in the 1970s; Includes material on the Washington Institute on Public Affairs and the Joint Program Institute (both founded by a subcommittee of the Washington Office), on activities of various local and state NCJW sections, and on the Women's Joint Congressional Committee and Women in Community Service, two organizations that were founded in part by the National Council of Jewish Women
