. Tii4WHyr:s Flouss,
Washington, D.C., August 13, 1965.
DEAR MR. KNOTT: ;t has long been my be-
;lief that the papers and other historical
Materials of a President constitute a vital
part of our Nation's historical heritage and
that such papers and materials should be
permanently preserved and made available
fel* scholarly research and study.
You are aware that it also has long been
my intention to donate my papers and other
historical materials to the United States for
pitlInate deposit in a Presidential Archival
-Depository as provided by section 507(f) of
the Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act of 1049, as amended (44 U.S.C.
,897(f)).
You are also aware that the University of
Texas has advised me of its intent, consist-
ent with its educational purposes and ob-
jectives, to provide, at its expense, an ap-
propriate site within the principal academic
environs of the University of Texas, and to
- construct thereon a sititabIe- Presidential
Archival Depository to be known as the Lyn-
don Baines Johnson Library and to turn
over, dedicate, and make available the space
and facilities so to be constructed, furnished,
and equipped by it, to the United States for
Its use in perpetuity pursuant to the afore-
Said authority, as a Presidential Archival
Depository for the housing, preservation, dis-
play, And appropriate use of my Presidential
papers and other historical materials.
I have indicated to the University of Texas
and publicly announced my Approval of its
proposal.
*Accordingly, and in furtherance of the
public purposes Which will thus be served,
I hereby offer as it gift to the United States
fer the purpose of ultimate deposit in the
said -Presidential Library my Presidential and
Other papers, documents, historical materials,
tnernentos, objects of art, and other memo-
rabilia, including books, motion pictures, still
pictures, and 'sound recordings, all herein-
called materials belonging to me or
ip pi riegation-vtifen..reiete to my life
?Wor stlibjeet to the condition that these
roateriefij he accepted, preserved, and made
eV)i.ilahtelii"tne ibrnitect'StateS under the fol-
loWing'oesiditronS:
an 'initial step 'the materials shall
lie accepted by the Unit?ed States for deposit
in the National Archives pursuant to section
507(e) of the act, supra, until the comple-
tion and acceptance by the United States of
the above-described Lyndon Baines Johnson
Library at which time the materials shall be
deposited in that Library and administered
in accordance with the pertinent provisions
of the act, supra.
2. It is my purpose to make the papers
and other historical materials referred to
herein available for the purpose of study and
research as soon as possible and to the full-
est possible extent. However, since the Presi-
dent of the United States is the recipient
of many confidences from others, and since
the inviolability of such confidence is es-
sential to the functioning of the constitu-
tional office of the Presidency, it will be nec-
essary to withhold from public scrutiny cer-
tain papers and classes of papers for vary-
ing periods of time. Therefore:
(a) I hereby reserve the right to restrict
the use and availability of any materials to
which this agreement applies, irrespective
of the time. when such materials may have
been, OT may be delivered to the United
States, for such time as I, in my sole discre-
tion, may from time to time specify, and such
restrictions shall be adhered to and observed
in all respects for as long a period of time
as may be specified or until such restrictions
are revoked or terminated by me or per-
sons authorized to act on my behalf with
respect thereto, or as otherwise provided
in this agreement.
(b) During my tenure as President of the
United States any materials accepted and
deposited pursuant to paragraph 1, above,
shall be made available by display or other-
wise for public inspection, research, or other
use subject to restrictions (1) imposed at
time of delivery of possession thereof to the
United States; (2) as otherwise provided for
in this agreement; and (3) as may be im-
posed by me or by persons authorized to
act for me with regard thereto.
(c) Archival personnel of the United States
designated by the Administrator of General
Services shall review the materials to which
this agreement applies and any materials in
the following categories shall be placed under
seal of restriction:
(1) Materials containing statements which
may in any manner be used to injure, em-
barrass, or harass any person, or materials
which may in any manner be prejudicial to
the conduct of foreign relations of the United
States of America, or materials containing
statements made by or to me in confidence.
(ii) Defense information that has been
security classified pursuant to law or Execu-
tive order: Provided, That such information
may be declassified or otherwise made avail-
able in accordance with the procedures estab-
lished by law or Executive order governing
availability of security classified informa-
tion.
(iii) Papers relating to my family or pri-
vate affairs, and papers relating to the fami-
lies or private affairs of persons who have
had correspondence with me.
(d) All material restricted pursuant to
this agreement shall be reviewed from time
to time by archival personnel designated by
the Administrator of General Services, the
restrictions removed therefrom, and the ma-
terials made available for public display and
research use as soon as the passage of time
or other circumstances no longer require
such materials being kept under restriction:
Provided, That restrictions imposed on ma-
terials by paragraph 2(b), above, shall not
be removed during my tenure as President
without my personal approval or the ap-
proval of persons authorized to act for me
with respect thereto.

suant to this agreement shall not be made
available to anyone or their contents

ministrator of General Services when per-
forming essential archival work processes
on such papers under the supervision of the
Administrator of General Services: Provided,
That access to security-classified materials
shall be made available in accordance with
the procedures established by law or Execu-
tive orders.
3. All unrestricted materials shall upon
(a) deposit in the Lyndon Baines Johnson
Library and (b) expiration of my tenure as
President, be made available for public dis-
play and inspection, and made equally ac-

and scholarly research purposes subject to

sons designated by me in writing, subject to

of the Administrator in his discretion (a)
to make temporary loans thereof to such

change, or otherwise of any such papers or
historical materials which he may determine
to have no permanent value or historical in-
terest or to be surplus to the needs of the
Lyndon Baines Johnson Library; and (c) to
remove from the said Library any and all of
such papers or historical materials if he shall
deem it necessary to preserve them from
threatened destruction.
7. I hereby assign to the United States all
nay literary property rights in all papers
transferred to the United States in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this agree-
ment, except that I reserve to myself and my
heirs (a) the right to make any use of such
papers and (b) all literary property rights in
any works that I have written or may here-
after write for publication, including the
right to license the publication of such ma-
tel.:a:The offer of the materials to which this
agreement is applicable is conditioned upon
the United States, acting by and through the
Administrator of General Services, entering
into an agreement with the University of
Texas to utilize as a Presidential Archival
Depository the space and facilities to be con-
structed, furnished, equipped, and made
available by it for such use without transfer
of title, and upon agreement by the United
States to maintain and operate the Library
at all times thereafter as a Presidential
Archival Depository for the preservation of
such materials, in accordance with the pro-
visions of ,section 50'7(f) (1) (44 U.S.C. 397
(f) (1)) of the Federal Property and Admin-
istrative Services Act of 1949, as amended.

LYNDON B. JOHNSON.

BEFORE THE S GN
RELATIONS COMMITTE
Mr. QYMINGTON. Mr. Presidea, it
Is with regret Mal rnote,the, altercation
between the chairman of he ,Senate
Foreign Relations Committee %DAL Qoui,7
mittee members as to actiongAgideat to
interv-pntion in the DcwcilacEi4;1 ne7.?
public.
I agree with the actions of the admin-
istration in this regard, and so stated
at the time of these hearings. But I
most certainly do not agree with a state-
ment made on the floor yesterday that
"a methodical effort was made to prove
that the United States was wrongly
within that Republic."
The document compiled by the com-
mittee staff was not one analyzing the
developments in Santo Domingo, or one
based on an effort to pass judgment on
administration policy.
It was meant to be a working paper
with which committee members could
outline the subject matter to be dis-
cussed during the hearings.
Questions were asked of administra-
tion witnesses about the purported facts
in the articles in question. From the
answers received I reached my conclu-
sion that the action of the administra-
tion was proper and sound under the
circumstances.
I do not believe that my friend the
Senator from Connecticut would have
criticized this development in the man-
ner he did if he had been present. For
example, a key witness for the admin-
istration was just as critical of some of
the newspapermen praised in the state-
ment of the Senator from Connecticut
as he was about some of the newspaper-
men criticized by the Senator.
The Senator from Arkansas mentioned
In the RECORD that he was considering
resigning as chairman of the committee.
In my opinion that would be a most un-
fortunate occurrence. The chairman is
a man of character and integrity; and
he has a profound background of long
experience in the field of foreign rela-
tions. I am proud to serve with him
on this committee. We do not always
agree, but that is characteristic of the
nature of our Government.
am equally proud that he is not
either a rubber stamp for the executive
branch, or for any particular group on
this committee. He makes a sincere ef-
fort to develop the truth; and the way
the world is today, the truth would seem
of utmost importance.
Mr. CARLSON. Mr. President, will
the Senator yield?
Mr. SYIVIINGTON. I am glad to yield
to my friend from Kansas.
Mr. CARLSON. I associate myself
with the remarks that the distinguished
Senator from Missouri has made regard-
ing our distinguished and most outstand-
ing chairman of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee. I cannot think of
anything that in my opinion would set.
back our international programs and
policies more than even the suggestion
or thought that our chairman might
consider resigning from that great com-
mittee.
It has been a pleasure to be associ-
ated with the Senator from Arkansas
[Mr. FuLaarcirrl . He is not only able, but
also a great student. As a member of
the committee, I cannot think of any-
one more able or better qualified, He
Possesses qualities that make it a joy
to work with him.
s I appreciate very Much the comments
that the Senator . from Missouri has
made.
