Detailed Description
Scope and Content Note
Executive Chamber staff maintained these records as a central file of photocopies of the governor's Executive Orders ordering the Attorney General to carry out special prosecutions in New York City. The main orders, numbered 55-59, order special prosecutions in New York, Bronx, Queens, Kings, and Richmond counties (respectively) in cases of corruption by public servants.
Following the main orders are amendments, comprising the bulk of the series. The amendments generally cite specific cases to be prosecuted in each county and are numbered using decimals (e.g. 55.01, 55.02, etc.).
13685-95: This accretion consists of executive orders (numbers 1-189) issued by Governor Mario M. Cuomo (1983-1994). Also included are a small amount of revoked orders and several amendments to orders relating to requirements made of attorney general Robert Abrams.
