|
This online service makes available material that was compiled and published by the Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration, in hardcover printed volumes entitled The Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States. This hardcopy series includes volumes covering the administrations of Presidents Hoover, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Bush, as well as President William J. Clinton. As subsequent volumes covering the administration of President Clinton are published, they will be added online. Earlier Clinton volumes will also be added on an incremental basis.
|
Each Public Papers volume contains the papers and speeches of the President of the United States that were issued by the Office of the Press Secretary during the specified time period. The material is presented in chronological order, and the dates shown in the headings are the dates of the documents or events. In instances when the release date differs from the date of the document itself, that fact is shown in the textnote. To ensure accuracy, remarks have been checked against a tape recording and signed documents have been checked against the original, unless otherwise noted. Textnotes and cross references have been provided by the editors for purposes of identification or clarity. Speeches were delivered in Washington, DC, unless indicated. The times noted are local times.
|
The appendixes in each Public Papers volume provide listings of:
|
- the President's daily schedule and meetings, when announced, and other items of general interest issued by the Office of the Press Secretary;
|
- the President's nominations submitted to the Senate;
|
- materials released by the Office of the Press Secretary that are not printed full-text in the book; and
|
- proclamations, Executive orders, and other Presidential documents released by the Office of the Press Secretary and published in the Federal Register.
|
All materials that are printed full-text in a given Public Papers volume have been indexed by subject and name, and listed in the Document Categories List, for that volume.
