MEMORANDUM FOR THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF
FROM:
Philip W. Buchen
T.W.B.
Most of you have already turned over Nixon Administration materials
to the Office of Presidential Papers in accordance with Jerry Jones'
Memo of August 9, 1974. I am now requesting that you make a final
review of the files and other materials in your custody to insure
that all Nixon materials have been turned over. As I indicated in
my Memorandum for the White House Staff of October 24, 1974, I am
also requesting that each member of the staff who served prior to
August 9, 1974, certify on the attached form that all Nixon Admin-
istration materials in his/her custody have been turned over to the
appropriate offices.
Any further questions regarding this matter should be referred to
the Office of Presidential Papers (Extension 2545).
Thank you.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
Philip W. Buchen
Room 106, EOB
I hereby certify that in accordance with the instructions contained in
the Memorandum of August 9, 1974, to the White House Staff from
Jerry H. Jones, that I have collected and segregated all materials
which are designated Presidential Papers of the Administration of
Richard Nixon, as defined in the White House Staff Manual (pp. 31-32),
and forwarded these materials to the appropriate offices (Office of
Presidential Papers, White House Central Files, Special Files or
other location specified by the White House Counsel).

MEMORANDUM FOR THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF
SUBJECT:
Court Order Regarding Presidential
Materials of the Nixon Administration
Attached is a copy of a Supplemental Order of the United
States District Court for the District of Columbia, by
Judge Charles R. Richey, issued October 22, 1974. The
Defendants are: Arthur E. Sampson, Administrator of the
General Services Administration; Philip W. Buchen, Counsel
to the President; and H. Stuart Knight, Director of the
Secret Service.
Please note:
1) The order enjoins "the Defendants, their superiors,
agents, and assigns" against certain acts.
2) The order applies to "the materials, including
documents, tapes and other papers, known as the 'Presidential
materials of the Nixon Administration" that are presently in
the custody and control of the Defendants."
3) The order enjoins the persons affected "from dis-
closing, transferring, disposing or otherwise making known
to any person, be he/she private citizen or public official,
the materials." The order does not prohibit use of the
papers for court, prosecutorial or grand jury matters, or
for purposes of current government business.
Although the order by its terms does not apply to all
members of the White House staff, all White House staff per-
sonnel are expected to act as if they were bound by it.
Similarly, all materials and papers prepared during the
Administration of President Nixon should be regarded as
actually or potentially subject to the order.

Attached also is a copy of an August 9, 1974, memo-
randum from Jerry H. Jones on the subject of collecting and
segregating "papers of the White House Office at the time of
President Nixon's resignation as well as those enroute at
the time and intended for him."
Based on the August 9, 1974, memorandum and the printed
attachment to it, and in accordance with Judge Richey's order,
I have notified counsel to Mr. Nixon and hereby give my con-
sent that:
(i) The remaining papers in the files of the White House
Office which have not yet been segregated and placed in
storage may be used to complete implementing the August 9,
1974, memorandum.
(ii) Papers necessary for purposes of current govern-
ment business shall be used for such purposes if practi-
cable in the form of duplicated files as provided in
the memorandum, and a listing of any files SO duplicated
shall be supplied to me.
Implementation of the August 9 memorandum shall be completed
by November 1, 1974, except that no papers will be prepared,
as provided in that memorandum, "for shipment." To this end,
each member of the White House staff subject to the August 9
memorandum shall certify in writing to this office, by November 1,
that the collection and segregation called for have been com-
pleted, and that the materials have been stored within the
White House complex as designated by the Office of Presidential
Papers.
John Nesbitt, supervisory archivist of the Office of Presidential
Papers (Extension 2545) and his staff will be calling on you
and will be available for assistance.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
August 9, 1974
MEMORANDUM FOR THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF:
By custom and tradition, the files of the White House Office
belong to the President in whose Administration they are
accumulated. It has been the invariable practice, at the end of
an Administration, for the outgoing President or his estate to
authorize the depository or disposition to be made of such files.
President Taft in his book "Our Chief Magistrate and his
Powers, 11 made the following reference to this practice:
"The retiring President takes with him all the
correspondence, original and copies, which he
carried on during his Administration. "
In the interest of continuing this practice, it has been directed
that, so long as President Nixon's files remain in the White House
Office, there is to be no intermingling of the files of the two
Administrations. This applies of course both to the Central Files
and the files in the offices of the various members of the staff.
Papers of the White House Office at the time of President Nixon's
resignation as well as those enroute at that time and intended for
him shall be considered as belonging to the Nixon Administration
files. Of course, some Nixon Administration files may be needed
for future reference. These files should be duplicated and placed with
all other papers accumulated after noon today which constitute a
new set of files for President Ford.
Specifically, please expedite the return of all withdrawals you
have made from Central Files. On Monday, August 12, archivists
under the supervision of John R. Nesbitt, Office of Presidential
Papers, will be available to assist in the collection and segregation
of President Nixon's papers for shipment. Meanwhile, please read
the attached instructions.

Attached (TAB A) is a list of 186 individual staff members and

in regard to implementation of the Jerry Jones' Memorandum for
the White House Staff of August 9, 1974. In some instances the
contacts were made through secretaries or administrative officers.
To date, with the exception of the offices listed on TAB B, all
of these offices have reported that they have completed implementation
of the August 9 Memorandum and have no Nixon Administration materials
remaining in their custody.
In addition we have received files from Dwight Chapin (from Central

Dear Mr. Buchen:
Since I have been out of the office, on something of a
terminal leave since October 15, I did not receive the memo-
randum of October 24, mentioned in the memo relating to the
"Nixon Papers." But here is the situation on the files.
A) All of my files, including some of my personal
communications, speech drafts, and political memoranda, from
1971 and 1972, have been held in the basement of the EOB since
mid-1973. If the White House has not shifted them, I imagine
they are still there.
B) The process of segregating out and sending to
"Central Files" the other Presidential Papers was completed
in August and September, before I left.
C) However, I do have still possession of the "Briefing
Books" for former President Nixon's press conferences, which I
have had in my custody since 1969. These are the books I wrote
to brief the President, before press conferences, that were
subsequently, at the President's direction, returned to me.
In September of this year, after I was asked to move them out
of the News Summary shop, where they had been kept, I had them
transferred to my office and then took them home where they
are now under lock and key. I think there are six or seven
cartons of these, which are the property of the ex-President.
If there is any question, please give me a call here in
Key Biscayne where Shelley and I have been for a month. The
number is (305) 361-2850. We expect to be back in Washington
sometime the middle of next week.
