Each Public Papers of the Presidents volume contains the papers and speeches of the President of the United States that were issued by the White House Office of the Press Secretary during the time period specified by the volume. 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 text note.

To ensure accuracy, remarks have been checked against audio recordings (when available) and signed documents have been checked against the original, unless otherwise noted. Editors have provided text notes and cross references for purposes of identification or clarity.

The Federal Register is the official daily publication for rules, proposed rules, and notices of federal agencies and organizations, as well as executive orders and other Presidential documents.

The Congressional Record is the official daily record of the debates and proceedings of the U.S. Congress.

Archival Holdings

Any selection of archival documents will necessarily be partial. You should use the documents and folders identified below as a starting place, but consult the linked collection finding aids and folder title lists and the collections themselves for context. Many documents to be found this way do not lend themselves to association with specific dates, but are essential to a complete understanding of the material.

Selective document listing

President's Office Files

The President's Office Files consists of materials drawn together by the Special Files Unit from several administrative subdivisions within the White House Office. It is the handwriting and sensitive papers sent to the Staff Secretary that now comprise much of the President's Office Files. Visit the finding aid to learn more.

President's Personal File

The President's Personal File is essentially a President's secretary's file, kept by Rose Mary Woods, personal secretary to the President, for two purposes: (1) preserving for posterity a collection of documents particularly close to the President, whether because he dictated or annotated them, or because of the importance of the correspondent or the event concerned and (2) giving appropriate attention–letters of gratitude, invitations to White House social events, and the like–to members and important friends and supporters of the Nixon administration. This generalization does not describe all the varied materials of a file group which is essentially a miscellany, but it does identify the reason for the existence of the file group's core. Visit the finding aid to learn more.

The H. R. Haldeman Diaries consists of seven handwritten diaries, 36 dictated diaries recorded as sound recordings, and two handwritten audio cassette tape subject logs. The diaries and logs reflect H. R. Haldeman’s candid personal record and reflections on events, issues, and people encountered during his service in the Nixon White House. As administrative assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, Haldeman attended and participated in public events and private meetings covering the entire scope of issues in which the Nixon White House engaged in during the years 1969-1973.

  • Transcript of diary entry (PDF)
    Thursday, August 5.

    President had an incredibly heavy appointment schedule today, although we didn't start until 10:00 with the Cabinet meeting because of his late night in New York last night. Cabinet meeting, which he had insisted being only one hour, ended up running two hours, because the President spent one full hour in the meeting talking on the economy and a little on China. That threw a tightly-drawn schedule completely off kilter. He was an hour late for meeting with the Spanish-speaking committee, and for a drop by of the National Business Council on Consumer Affairs and for his Congressional half hour. That squeezed lunch hour down to virtually nothing, after he had me in to go over some odds and ends and called Colson in to discuss the PR question, especially on the economy. He made the point there that we can't let the opposition dominate the talk on the economy, that we've got to build our issue, which is peace. We've got to find a way to continue the peace line and Nixon as a world leader, reducing the danger of war, and so on, using China and the China trip to build the initiative and build our leadership there. He felt the press conference had gotten good enough coverage that he now thinks he might have another one next week, just to wrap it up before he takes off for the California vacation. The afternoon was again loaded, with a long meeting with Romney, one with Senator Buckley, a session with representatives of editors of the farm magazines––which he was dragged into kicking and screaming, although he had told us to set it up––then a reception for the early bird Nixon supporters from the Congress.

    End of August 5.
