MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE Previous WASHINGTON March 25, 1970 MEMORANDUM FOR: H. R. HALDEMAN FROM: JOHN R. BROWN III JRB SUBJECT: Security of Presidential Papers In accordance with your request, we have reviewed the handling procedures for all Presidential papers. This material falls into two basic groupings: Kissinger papers and all others. The volume and sensitive nature of the Kissinger papers presents some special problems which I wish to look into in more detail and will submit my comments on those papers separately. All non-Kissinger papers can be broken down into the following categories: A. Domestic Memoranda - All items pertaining to domestic policy which contain Presidential handwriting or approval are sent directly to Ken Cole. They are reviewed by Ken and John Ehrlichman who initiate the necessary action to follow through with any Presidential requests. There are no xerox copies made of these papers and they are returned to my secretary for filing in the separate combination lock file which is located in Room 68 EOB (Office of the Chief of Files). B. Personal Items - All items which are of a particularly personal nature, to include notes which the President makes on yellow notebook paper and interim drafts of major speeches and messages, go to Rose who maintains a separate key lock file in her office. C. Miscellaneous Memoranda - Items which do not fall under the domestic or personal categories but which contain Presidential handwriting (this would include the President's News Summary) are paraphrased by me and then secured by my secretary in the combination file in Room 68 EOB.
