The speech drafts mostly relate to U.S. foreign policy, the Korean War, defense of the United Nations, and the fear of communism. Glick drafted the speeches for such officials as Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Under Secretary of State James E. Webb, State Department Counselor Charles E. Bohlen, Assistant Secretary of State Howland H. Sargeant, and Ambassadors Eugenie Anderson, Robert D. Murphy, and Richard C. Patterson Jr. The Dwight D. Eisenhower Library also has a collection of Edward M. Glick Papers containing information about his government service as a speechwriter for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare from 1953 to 1957. The Truman Library also has the papers of Acheson, Webb, Sargeant, and Patterson.
