The materials in FOIA 2012-3089-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 2012-3089-F contains records related to Columbia and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). 2012-3089-F 2 These documents mainly address violence in Colombia, President Virgilio Barco, and John C.

The Bush Presidential White House Office of Records Management (WHORM) Subject Files contain letters and memos primarily addressed to President Bush from private citizens with recommendations on dealing with the violence in Colombia, support for President Barco, U.S. assistance to Columbia in the fight against drug cartels and concern and support for President Bush's trip to the drug summit held in Cartagena, as well as the DEA leadership. Replies to this correspondence are also included. In addition, many government forms are present that track the correspondence by logging in subjects, routing information, actions taken, and disposition. There are printed materials including a newspaper clipping reporting that President Virgilio Barco would be MIT's commencement speaker, and a magazine reprint discussing the leadership of President Cesar Gavaria Trujillo. Publications found in this collection are a Senate Subcommittee report - United States Government Anti-Narcotics Activities in the Andean Region of South America, The Battle for Colombia: A Report by Colombian Journalists, and Guidelines for the Cleanup of Clandestine Drug Laboratories. There are a few drafts of a statement made by President Bush upon the departure of Colombian President Gavaria. The handwritten notes among staffers discuss paperwork for nominations for presidential appointments. Several unclassified papers are present and include examples of citations awarded to federal civilians for distinguished service, verbiage used on the award given to Lawn, a page from President Bush's daily schedule, and resumes of successful candidates for positions in the DEA.
