Records on Bush Administration Correspondence with Former Presidents: Gerald Rudolph Ford

The materials in FOIA 2009-0803-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 2009-0803-F contains Bush Presidential Records from the White House Office of Records 2009-0803-F 2 Management (WHORM) Subject Files, the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA), and the National Security Council (NSC). These files consist of booklets announcing the 1989 AEI World Forum hosted annually by President Ford; fax cover sheets and NSC profile sheets used to briefly describe the content of attached materials and provide handling instructions; invitations for both Michael Boskin (Chairman of the CEA) and Brent Scowcroft (Advisor to the President for National Security Affairs) to attend the 1989 World Forum; letters between Bush administration staff and President Ford discussing Brent Scowcroft delivering remarks at the 1989 AEI World Forum; memoranda between members of the President's staff considering a response to a letter passed along by President Ford from a Crimean dissident; notes communicating 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 Ford as well as 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
