TREASURY DEPARTMENT
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20220
ASSISTANT SECRETARY
IIP
APR 17 1967
To Members of the Staff and Heads of Staff Offices,
Office of the Secretary
SUBJECT: Presidential Libraries
The President has requested the General Services Administrator to have
the National Archives and Records Service establish a continuing program to
collect copies of historical materials from Government agencies "for the
purpose of enriching the collections and enhancing the usefulness of all
Presidential Libraries henceforward." Secretary Fowler has designated ma to
direct the Treasury's participation in this program.
Letters, memoranda, papers and records of major significance resulting
in the formulation of policy in matters of Presidential concern are the prin-
cipal class of documents which will be collected. These documents usually.
are routed through the Executive Secretariat but may, on occasion, by-pass it
when exigencies require direct communication with the Secretary or Under
Secretaries.
Documents routed through the Executive Secretariat present no problem
and will be collected there. My principal concern is the collection of
documents which are not sent through the Executive Secretariat. Most of you
are presently collecting these documents in your immediate offices. Those
of you who are not should make arrangements to do so. Most documents, from
their very nature, will carry security or other classifications. Secretary
Fowler instructed the National Archives to restrict access to them according
to Treasury security regulations.
Treasury-related Presidential programs on the attached list are illustra-
tive of topics producing documents which may have historical interest to the
Johnson Library. The list is not exhaustive and papers relating to other
topics which you know have historical significance should also be collected.
Procedures for current and continuing collection are attached. Procedures
for the collection of documents originating during the period November 23,
1963, to May 1, 1966, will be distributed when the transfer agreement for
that period of time has been executed. Miss McLsurin, Treasury Department
Librarian, and Mr. Rey, Director of the Executive Secretariat, will coordinate
the document selection and transfer to Archives and are available to give
any assistance you may need in this endeavor.
A. E. Weatherbee
Assistant Secretary for Administration
