Access to Bush Presidential Records, Bush Vice Presidential Records, and Quayle Vice Presidential Records is governed by the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)(5 USC 552 as amended) and the Presidential Records Act (PRA)(44 USC 22) and therefore records may be restricted in whole or in part in accordance with legal exemptions. Copyright Documents in this collection that were prepared by officials of the United States government as part of their official duties are in the public domain. Researchers are advised to consult the copyright law of the United States (Title 17, USC) which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Provenance Official records of George Bush s presidency and vice presidency are housed at the George Bush Presidential Library and administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the provisions of the Presidential Records Act (PRA). Processed By Staff Archivists, March 2010. Previously restricted materials are added as they are released. Related Collections Related material may be found in FOIA request 2004-0734-F entitled Brazil: Bush Presidential Records and 2004-0736-F entitled Brazil: Quayle Vice Presidential Records. Scope and Content The materials in FOIA are a selective, not necessarily all inclusive, body of documents responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials. 1
FOIA contains materials that deal primarily with two trips taken by President Bush, each including a stop in Brazil. There are schedules, cables, letters, and memos relating to these trips. President Bush visited Colombia, Brazil and the Dominican Republic in 1981 and in 1985 visited Brazil as part of a larger trip to Africa, Europe, and South America. The larger trip also included the funeral of Konstantin Chernenko, where the Vice President met with various world leaders. There are copies of remarks given throughout the trip as well as press releases which include schedules and speeches. There are newspaper articles from English, Spanish, and Portuguese language newspapers relating to the visits. There are also documents relating to the UN Conference on Hunger in Africa. Many of these documents do not relate directly to Brazil, but were processed as part of a large file that contained trip information, including the stops in Brazil. System of Arrangement Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in two collection areas Bush Vice Presidential Records: Name Files and Bush Vice Presidential Records: Staff and Office Files. As policy, WHORM Alphabetical Files and WHORM Subject Files are processed at the document level. Staff and Office Files are processed at the folder level, that is, individual documents are not selected and removed from a folder for processing. While this method maintains folder integrity, it frequently results in the incidental processing of documents that are not wholly responsive to the subject area. The WHORM Subject File compiled by the White House Office of Records Management is comprised of a series of documents assigned a letter/number combination and filed in a subject category. A complete listing of the subject categories including a detailed description of each category is available in our research room and on our website at http://bushlibrary.tamu.edu/research/find/whorm/whorm.html. Please note that a single asterisk "*" indicates that the category is entirely processed and open. The following is a list of documents and folders processed in response to FOIA.
