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.

Among Pat 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 books are primarily in the form of potential questions and suggested answers (often with heavy annotation by President Nixon), along with associated memos. A listing of briefing books is below, with indication of whether President Nixon annotated the book or not. Each book has an index to the potential questions with direct links to the National Archives Catalog. You should consult the full digital folder for suggested responses, President Nixon's annotations, and other documents and topics not covered by the index.BRIEFING BOOK FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC November 11, 1971 (Annotated)

- TROOP WITHDRAWALS
- Why, if Vietnamization is succeeding beyond expectations as Secretary Laird has recently stated, are you not increasing the withdrawal rates more drastically?
- Why are you only projecting withdrawals for months when your previous announcements have been longer term? If Vietnamization is so successful why not at least project withdrawals down to a residual force, to be held for prisoners?
- Do you have a plan to leave behind in Vietnam a residual or transition force of 40,000-60,000 men by mid-year, as dispatches from Saigon repeatedly claim?
- Why not offer to set a fixed date for total withdrawals in exchange for prisoners? Do we demand something besides prisoners to set such a date?
- What about the tens of thousands of Americans related to the Vietnam war who are stationed elsewhere in Southeast Asia or on carriers?
- You say "time is running out" on negotiations? Are we giving up on them? If so, how do we get our prisoners back?
- What magnitude of military assistance and economic assistance do we envisage over the coming years for South Vietnam?
- The Paris Peace Talks are going nowhere. Are they a façade for secret negotiations?
- Don't you think that it will be awkward for you to go to Peking and Moscow without at least having set a fixed date for total U.S. withdrawals?
- Have the Soviets and Chinese been informed of the substance of this announcement?
- Have President Thieu and our allies been advised of your decision, and does President Thieu agree?
- Is the short timespan of this announcement dictated by fear that the North Vietnamese may be able to launch major new attacks in the coming dry-season?
- Do the South Koreans intend to reduce their forces as we are doing?
- What about American air support? Will this be phased down as well? How quickly?
- CORNELL STUDY OF U.S. AIR EFFORT
- TROOP WITHDRAWALS
- TROOP WITHDRAWAL
- Doesn't this announcement confirm that US policy is merely substituting Asian casualties for US casualties in a war which has no end?
- Do you have a plan to exempt all draftees from future service in Vietnam?
- Are you saying that if the foreign aid bill is not revived, the withdrawal program will be halted or slowed? Is this the reason for your short projection?
- If the Congress sharply reduces foreign aid to Vietnam and Southeast Asia, will you be forced to modify future withdrawal plans?
- Why have you chosen this forum to make this announcement rather than the more formal report to the American people which you have utilized in the past? Any reason for being low-key?

The National Archives Catalog is the online portal to the records held at the National Archives, and information about those records. It is the main way of describing our holdings and also provides access to electronic records and digitized versions of our holdings.
The Catalog searches across multiple National Archives resources at once, including archival descriptions, digitized and electronic records, authority records, and web pages from Archives.gov and the Presidential Libraries. The Catalog also allows users to contribute to digitized historical records through tagging and transcription.

153. Analytical Summary Prepared by the National Security Council Staff, Washington, November 11, 1971
Summary of a contingency paper drafted in the Department of State that outlined options open to the United States in the event of an outbreak of war between India and Pakistan. The summary was prepared for use by the Washington Special Actions Group.
Source: National Archives, Nixon Presidential Materials, NSC Files, NSC Institutional Files (H-Files), Box H–082, WSAG Meeting, South Asia, 11/12/71. Secret; Exdis. The summary was attached to and summarized an undated paper that outlined contingency planning in the event of an outbreak of war between India and Pakistan. Neither the contingency paper nor the analytical summary have drafting information, but the former was apparently drafted in the Department of State and the summary was prepared by the NSC staff. Samuel Hoskinson and Richard Kennedy probably drafted the summary, which they forwarded with the contingency paper to Kissinger on November 11 under a covering memorandum for use by the Washington Special Actions Group at their November 12 meeting.
