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.

    Tuesday, September 22, 1970

    Things back on a more even keel as Jordan seems to calm down a bit. President did have one meeting at noon with the key group - but no excitement, and no intrusions by Kissinger except for one to show me how State had pulled out two paragraphs of a cable to forward, and omitted one paragraph that they didn't like. President asked me to talk with Haig to say that regardless of their feelings, he and Kissinger must work closely with Sisco and must not be petulant.

    President highly amused by Mulcahy and Moore's insistence that he bring King Timahoe to Ireland. Wants to work out a way to do it so he won't have to ride in the hold. Very upset by Klein trip to Europe, feels he should be here at this time. Has decided to read more cables and get a direct reading of reports, instead of strained through Kissinger's operation.

    Still pushing on daily action regarding crime and students. At leaders meeting today he announced 1,000 additional FBI agents. Now wants to mail out Hoover's campus letter with his cover. Fascinated by our poll that gives him 64 percent approval, but shows 47 percent think he's not strong enough regarding students. Same poll shows 71 percent think college administrators are too lenient. Did agree to hold up on Defense research funds letter to colleges, on my recommendation (per Flanigan) that it could cause student demonstrators to try to force administrations to reject funds and we'd be blamed for starting it. Instead will wait until something stirs up on a campus and then use this to react to it, so it will be their fault not ours.

    President seemed in much less preoccupied mood than yesterday. Not as concerned about Jordan and possible consequences and Kissinger not grinding as hard regarding all the potential disasters. Sure is a difference in the atmosphere in the inner circle from one day to the next.
