This collection consists of 58 series of subject files based on 58 broad subject classifications developed by the Office of Records Management during the Kennedy Administration to facilitate the filing and retrieval of White House records. These records pertain to the functions and operations of the White House, Federal Government, foreign and other governments. These records also contain correspondence from private companies or individuals.

Subject Files on Federal Aid
This series contains materials relating to federal aid in general. A considerable amount of correspondence can be found here dealing with such topics as the need for additional funds in the budget for reparations to be paid Japanese-Americans who were interned during World War II, the possibility of finding more money for research in the biomedical sciences, opposition to the proposal of turning over discretion of Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) from the federal level to state governments, and opposition to federal funding for conducting a study of the sexual habits of Americans. In a few instances federal aid dealt with in subsequent file codes is handled at least partially under this category. For example, letters concerning proposed spending cuts in mass transit are located here as well as within FA 007. The reasoning behind such an arrangement does not appear to be readily discernible and could pose problems for the researcher.
