24,000 OSS Names Released Today President Franklin Roosevelt created the Office of Strategic Services to help combat the Axis powers during World War II.

Today, the National Archives is releasing 35,000 personnel files with 24,000 names—including Julia Child, Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg and actor Sterling Hayden. Steven Tilley is Director of the Textual Archives Services Division of the Archives and Records Administration.
