Abstract

The Presidential historical materials of Patrick J. Buchanan, initially a Special Assistant and subsequently Consultant to the President for Media Analysis and Speech Writing, are in the custody of the National Archives and Records Administration under the provisions of Title I of the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-526, 88 Stat. 1695) and implementing regulations. In accordance with the act and regulations, archivists reviewed the file group to identify personal and private materials and nonhistorical items; those found have been returned to Buchanan.

Materials covered by the act have been archivally processed and are described in this register. Items which are security classified or otherwise restricted under the act and regulations have been removed and placed in a closed file. A Document Withdrawal Record (GSA Form 7279 or NA Form 14021) with a description of each restricted document has been inserted at the beginning of each folder from which material has been removed. A Document Control Record marks the original position of the withdrawn item.

Employees of the National Archives will review periodically the unclassified portions of the closed materials for the purpose of opening those which no longer require restrictions. Certain classified documents may be declassified under the authority of Executive Order 13526 in response to a Mandatory Review Request (NA Form 14020) submitted by the researcher.

  • Linear feet of materials:   12 linear feet, 8 linear inches
  • Approximate number of pages:   18,500

Preservation Note

Holdings maintenance was performed on the collection in October 2011 in order to ensure the longevity of the documents. In some instances, the previous number of folders and/or boxes in a collection may have been increased. This finding aid has been updated to reflect any changes. The previous version of the finding aid is available upon request.

Organizational Note

 

    Scope and Content Note

    The materials of Patrick J. Buchanan cover the period from January 21, 1969, to December 31, 1972, and represent the records selected by the personnel of the White House Special Files Unit for inclusion in the Special Files. The remainder of Buchanan’s office records, a large amount of which are newspaper clippings and copies of numerous publications, are located in the White House Central Files: Staff Member and Office Files.

    Buchanan joined the White House staff as a Special Assistant to the President the day after the 1969 Inauguration. Previously, he had served Richard M. Nixon for three years in a number of capacities. First, when Nixon was active nationally as a campaigner for Republican office seekers, Buchanan was speech writer and research director, press assistant, political aide, and lastly executive assistant. Then, during the presidential campaign of 1968, Buchanan was a speechwriter for both Nixon and Spiro T. Agnew, the vice presidential candidate.

    At the White House, Buchanan’s assigned duties continued to be related to written communications. For the most part, this was in the form of daily news briefings, background information for press conferences, and political campaign data gathered for partisan purposes in the 1972 election.

    Initially, among Buchanan’s responsibilities was that of preparing the President’s daily News Summary. This in-house news publication of ten to twenty pages was assembled for the President’s reading each morning and presented to him in capsule format the foreign and domestic news of the previous day and night. Included were major as well as minor news which Buchanan felt would interest the President and his most senior assistants. To a large extent, the daily News Summary was Buchanan’s succinct analysis of the contemporary news media.

    Next among Buchanan’s duties was the compilation and coordination of background briefing materials for Presidential and a few Vice Presidential press conferences. The briefings--for both the larger, announced press conferences and the smaller, informal ones held in the Oval Office--related to a widespread number of topics and were in the form of probable questions which the White House staff members anticipated news reporters would address to the President. Along with the questions, were answers recommended by Buchanan, other members of the White House staff, and the heads of major departments of the government. The Briefing Book Back-up material was routinely collected for the purpose of presenting to the President or on a rare occasion to the Vice President, information related to contemporary or forthcoming issues and events before either one of them appeared before members of the press. The background material presented was collected from widespread sources within the Administration, from letters, memoranda, studies and reports, straight news, abstracts of published items of interest, and biographical sketches.

    An interesting adjunct to the briefing and back-up materials is the collection of printed political campaign materials assembled in September and October 1972 by Buchanan and filed under the sub-series title of 1972 Election File. The purpose of the collection was to provide counteraction against public opinion favorable toward George S. McGovern, the 1972 Democratic presidential candidate. The end product was a compilation of printed points of record issued under the title of The Assault Book or The Book, and which was critical of McGovern’s statements, policy positions, and votes which he made commencing not long before and early into the 1972 presidential campaign. This publication was distributed to Republican field campaigners throughout the nation in order to provide critical opposition to McGovern, using his own words on sensitive topics ranging from abortion to domestic policy social issues to opposition to the Vietnam War and Nixon’s foreign policy.

    In the Name File portion (in Box 809) of the National Security Council Files, there is a folder on Buchanan, and there is also a transcript of an exit interview with him, conducted on October 10, 1974, shortly before his departure from President Gerald R. Ford’s White House staff. Finally, there is a folder of Presidential briefing material in original copy and attributed to Buchanan located among the President’s Personal Files (in Box 166).
