Series consists of invitations received by the Solicitor General's office, and further correspondence concerning the event. Invitations were for everything from Cabinet and committee meetings, to requests for speeches and presentations, to invitations to social events.
For the first year, invitations were retained in their fullness as an example of what came to the minister. The following three years of files were culled of ribbon-cuttings, sod-turnings, baby-judgings, galas, cocktails, fundraisers, travel itineraries, and the like. Retained are invitations to events of greater substance, such as sessions of the McDonald Commission hearings, meetings on the development of C.S.I.S., sessions dealing with Correctional Services and some events in the Jewish community. Also retained is material annotated by Kaplan and his staff that shows the working relationship between the Ottawa and Toronto offices, and between Kaplan and his staff. Invitations and correspondence to an event where Kaplan was to present a speech are also included - these speeches have been left in place and have not been moved to the "Transcripts of Interview and Speeches" series. Many daily agendas were included in the files and have been retained.

Arrangement note:

This material was maintained as a well-defined series by Kaplan's staff, and has been left as a complete unit in this fonds. It was maintained in chronological order, and so remains. Originally, Kaplan's staff had separate daily file folders. In processing, the invitations retained were filed into monthly folders.
