Records on Bush Administration Correspondence with Former Presidents: Richard Milhous Nixon

The materials in FOIA 2009-0801-F are a selective, not necessarily all inclusive, body of documents responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials. FOIA 2009-0801-F contains Bush Presidential Records from the White House Office of Records 2009-0801-F 2 Management (WHORM) Subject Files, the White House Counsel's Office, the National Security Council (NSC), the White House Office of Policy Development, and the White House Press Office. These files consist of fax cover sheets and NSC profile sheets used to briefly describe the content of attached materials and provide handling instructions; letters between Bush administration staff, President Nixon's staff and legal counsel for the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA over the release of documents from the Nixon administration for its investigations; memoranda among members of the President's staff discussing responses to letters from the Senate committee noted above ; notes passing along phone messages or proposed changes to draft letters; and routing slips tracking the routine passing of documents through the hands of administration staff. Records released from the National Security Council files within this request primarily consist of profile and cover sheets, which usually describe the process of drafting foreign policy update letters to President Nixon, as well as to the other former Presidents, during the Bush Administration that have been closed for National Security classification or other FOIA exemptions. Materials closed for National Security may be requested for Mandatory Review every two years. Read less
