Mail Reports – White House (5.2 l.ft.; boxes 1-13)
This secondary subject category contains material relating to condensed and edited versions of selected Congressional correspondence to the President; condensed and edited versions of selected gubernatorial and local official’s correspondence to the President; selected general correspondence provided to the President; reports on actual numbers of mail sent out to agencies for replies and/or received from agencies; reports on actual numbers of mail received for or against a specific topic; and general questions on how the correspondence for the President is handled at the White House. Over 90% of the material within this subject category consists of the Congressional mail reports sent on a regular basis to the President. Staff members from the White House Office of Legislative Affairs culled correspondence from Congress down to specific questions or support/non-support remarks and identified the correspondence. The President frequently commented or questioned the correspondence in writing on the report. Documents containing the President’s handwriting were photocopied and then the original was removed and placed in the Presidential Handwriting File. The material within WH004-01 is therefore mostly duplicates of material found in the Presidential Handwriting File: Series V: White House Mail Reports.
