The library has also accessioned papers, 1947-69, 16 cubic feet, of Gordon Gray, the president's special assistant for national security affairs. Most of them pertain to the J. Robert Oppenheimer case, including nineteen volumes of the Proceedings of the Atomic Energy Commission Personnel Security Board in the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer, April 12May 6, 1954. These files also contain memorandums; material concerning the Psychological Strategy Board, 1951-53, and the Commission on Hospital Care, and correspondence with Dwight D. Eisenhower, John S. D. Eisenhower, and Dillon Anderson.

Portions of the papers of Dwight D. Eisenhower as president of the United States, 195361-the Ann Whitman File, kept by his personal secretary-are now open to research. They include correspondence and memorandums of conversations between President Eisenhower and members of his administration, foreign heads of state, and personal friends. The file was used by President Eisenhower in writing his memoirs and was retained at his office in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, until after his death in March 1969.

Significant amounts of material have been opened in the Administration File, International File, Press Conferences, Speeches, and Stag Dinners series. Each series, except that for Stag Dinners, contains several thousand pages

of manuscript. More than three quarters of the Administration File, about half of the International File and all but about a tenth of the Speeches and Press Conference series have been opened. The Administration File is particularly noteworthy because it contains a large volume of correspondence and memorandums between the president and members of his cabinet and other advisers on numerous domestic and some international matters. The International File contains items which reflect foreign policy as well as protocol matters, the president's trips abroad, and visits by foreign dignitaries to the United States.

In addition to drafts of speeches edited by the president and his staff, printed speeches and some memorandums, the Speeches series includes suggestions from the White House staff on speeches delivered or proposed. The Press Conference series contains news conference transcripts and notes on pre-press conference briefings given the president by his staff. The notes of these briefings often contain frank expressions of opinion by the president on issues.

Also recently reviewed and opened are diary entries, 1954-55, dictated by James C. Hagerty. Part of the previously opened Hagerty papers, they contain references to most of the controversial issues of the time-Indochina, Quemoy-Matsu, Joseph McCarthy, Bricker Amendment, Oppenheimer case, Geneva conferences, Guatemala - as well as observations on political and governmental operations.

Every government department originating

classified information or material is now required to establish a data index system for top secret, secret, and confidential information in selected categories approved by the Interagency Classification Review Committee as having historical or other value such as to make it appropriate for preservation. Each department is required to submit to the committee on September 1 of each year a list of all indexed documents that were declassified on or before December 31 of the previous calendar year. The committee maintains these lists in the central research room of the National Archives building where they may be copied or reviewed by the public during business hours.

The Records Declassification Division systematically reviews security-classified documents accessioned by the National Archives, primarily World War II records that are at least thirty years old. Researchers should address any questions about the records to the unit holding them and should bear in mind that other restrictions may prevent the release of some records even though they have been declassified. Significant records opened since June 1975 or presently being declassified are described below.

The National Archives and Records Service publishes a variety of descriptions and guides to its holdings that are of use to scholars and the general public. These include inventories of record groups, special lists, and reference information papers. Inventories are general descriptions of and guides to documents in a record group. They provide a brief history of the agency that created the records and describe each series of records. Frequently, the National Archives publishes a preliminary inventory of a record group to facilitate access to its holdings. Preliminary inventories are less detailed than inventories but are similar in format.

Special lists are detailed descriptions of a series of records within a record group or of a subject or activity of an agency. Reference information papers describe material on a given subject that may be found in several record groups. As a rule these lists and papers follow no established form but vary according to the nature of the records to which they relate.

Earlier publications are listed in the leaflet Select List of Publications of the National Archives and Records Service. Unless otherwise indicated, new publications listed below can be purchased from the Publications Sales Branch (NEPS), National Archives (GSA), Washington, DC 20408.
