Opened to research from December 1973 to January 1974.
Processed by William W. Moss, Senior Archivist; Francis Harrington, Supervisory Archivist; Megan Floyd Desnoyers, Archivist; and Brenda A. Beasley, Archives Technician.
The President's Office Files contain, with some few clearly identified exceptions, documents from the period of the Kennedy administration (January 1961 through November 1963). The order of the twelve series and the series titles were imposed on the files by the staff of the Kennedy Library in 1973 on the original random arrangement of variously titled files.
The President's Office Files are not a formal or complete record of the Executive Office of the President or of the White House Office. They were originally a set of working files kept by President Kennedy's personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, for his immediate convenience as she interpreted it from day to day. They were kept in the office of the personal secretary, just outside the Oval Office of the President in the White House.
For documents relating to the various component offices of the Executive Office of the President, researchers should consult other collections and subcollections in the Kennedy Library in addition to the President's Office Files. The finding aids of these other collections and the assistance of Library staff members will be required to draw together the disparate parts of the record from various files and collections.
Chronological by year, alphabetical by correspondent thereunder.
The series consists chiefly of incoming letters and telegrams of a general nature, most of which are from the public and people not known by the President. Some items, however, are from friends, relations and people in public life. The series was formed around an original nucleus of "General Correspondence" files (letters from the public and routine social correspondence such as greeting cards) to which were added two boxes of cables received during the meeting with Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna, one box of formal Fourth of July and birthday greetings, two boxes of requests for autographs and photographs, and some correspondence concerning gifts to the President. The bulk of the series is divided by year and then arranged alphabetically by name of correspondent. Most items are for the years 1961 to 1963, although there are a few letters of both earlier and later dates. Unfortunately, the original filing was inconsistent, and correspondence from a given individual may be found filed under either his name or under his business or institution's title. The remainder of the series consists of the five small subseries: Birthday Greetings; Fourth of July Greetings; USS THRESHER (condolences); Gifts, Photographs, Autographs; and Vienna Meeting. These are also arranged alphabetically, by correspondent or by topic. See also Series 2. Special Correspondence, Series 6. Staff Memoranda, and the White House Name Files.

The Legislative Files series was constructed by the staff of the Kennedy Library from a four-box nucleus of a "Legislation" series, a partial box of "Messages to Congress," and documents dealing with legislation from the subjects part of an old "Special Topics" series and from the disbanded "Daily Reports." What has emerged is a very incomplete, fragmentary file of reports and memoranda which at least partially documents the highlights of the efforts of the White House staff to get the administration's legislative program enacted. The series includes notes for meetings with Congressmen, summary reports on the progress of legislation, messages to Congress, memoranda about specific pieces of legislation and the interests and concerns of individual Congressmen, and lists of Congressmen attending bill signings and social events at the White House. Since much of this material covers more than one piece of legislation, it has been arranged chronologically rather than topically. This arrangement was also selected to afford researchers an overview of concurrent White House interests in many legislative activities. To assist researchers in locating information on a particular legislator or on a particular piece of legislation, the folder title list is supplemented by the names of Congressmen mentioned and topics covered in the documents (less the summary reports) in each folder. This series, being so fragmentary, requires researchers to consult other series, collections and subcollections for a fuller account. Researchers will be especially interested in the White House Staff Files of Lawrence O'Brien, Myer Feldman, and Lee White.

The Staff Memoranda series is alphabetically arranged by name of staff member, except that the first folder consists of the special set of outgoing memos mentioned above (arranged alphabetically within the folder by name of staff member). A comparison of the folder title list with lists of staff members (such as may be found in the U.S. Government Organization Manual) shows that not all staff members are represented in this series. Researchers should consult other series of the President's Office Files, the numerous collections of White House Staff Files, the White House Overflow Files, and the personal papers collections donated by staff members.

Originally referred to by the President's personal secretary as the "Departmental" files, the Departments and Agencies series was reorganized by the Kennedy Library staff to include documents found in a small group of files entitled "Cabinet Meetings" and the files on miscellaneous government boards and commissions found among the "Subjects" and "Special Topics" files of the original file scheme. The Departments and Agencies series is divided into three subseries: major departments and agencies (alphabetically arranged); a small subseries of items left behind in the Cabinet Room after meetings and collected there by the personal secretary (arranged chronologically by date of Cabinet Meeting); and a subseries of minor executive branch committees, boards, commissions and offices (arranged alphabetically). The series is not a complete record of transactions between the President and the elements of the Executive Branch. Not all departments and agencies, boards and commissions, etc. are represented in these files, as a comparison of the folder title list with the U.S. Government Organization Manual readily shows. However, many highlights of the President's relations with various elements of the federal bureaucracy are present in this series. Researchers should also consult the papers of various Cabinet and sub-cabinet officials that have been donated to the Kennedy Library. They should also refer to the White House Central Subject Files FG series, the White House Staff Files of members responsible for various departments and agencies, particularly Myer Feldman and Lee White, and the National Security Files.

The Countries series contains State Department cables, reports and memoranda, and similar documents from the White House staff and from other agencies concerning U.S. relations with foreign countries. There is a great deal of material on the more formal aspects of these relations, including letters of credence and recall of ambassadors, arrangements by the Office of Protocol for visits of state, and briefing materials for President Kennedy's visits with foreign dignitaries in Washington and abroad. The Countries series is not a complete record of U.S. foreign policy for the Kennedy Administration, nor is it a complete record of the President's participation in the formulation and execution of that policy. The Countries series is arranged alphabetically by the name of each country and within each country subseries the arrangement is usually chronological. In some cases an original distinction between "Security" folders (containing classified material) and the rest of the subseries has been maintained. In some cases the material has been further divided into topical sub-subseries such as material relating to the Vienna meeting between Kennedy and Khrushchev. At the end of the Countries series is a small subseries of briefing material prepared for President Kennedy in the spring of 1963, detailing the background and giving performance estimates of foreign ambassadors accredited to Washington. (A parallel book on U.S. representatives abroad is found in the State subseries of the Departments and Agencies series.) Some filing oddities such as "Antarctica," "Puerto Rico," and "Ismali Moslem Sect" have been retained, although "Scotland" has been merged into the "United Kingdom" subseries. Researchers should also refer to the CO series of the White House Central Subject Files and, as they become declassified and opened, the National Security Files. Oral History interviews with U.S. ambassadors and foreign dignitaries are another rich source available in the Kennedy Library.

Alphabetical by subject.
The origin of the Personal Secretary's Files is uncertain. It was maintained by the personal secretary either at the direction of President Kennedy or because she found it useful in answering repeated queries from the press and public about personal matters relating to the President and his family. It was evidently begun while John F. Kennedy was a Senator and maintained through the Presidency. Included in the series are materials on articles and books written by and about John F. Kennedy, his organization memberships, gifts to the President, PT109 (boat, book and movie), and an incomplete file of executive orders. The series is arranged alphabetically by subject with the subseries being Articles, Books, Gifts, Memberships, Messages, PT109, Schedules, and White House. In many instances the material duplicates or compliments material found elsewhere in the President's Office Files and in other collections and subcollections in the Kennedy Library. For example, there is also material on gifts in the General Correspondence and Countries series of the President's Office Files. Also, the Library has a complete and indexed list of the President's appointments which should probably be relied upon ahead of the "Schedules" found here. Researchers may find this series interesting for information about John F. Kennedy's career, but it should be understood that other portions of the files and other collections should also be checked to verify and supplement material found here.

"Special Events through the Years" is the title given by the personal secretary to this eclectic collection of materials about significant events in the life and career of John F. Kennedy.

This series consists of 28 rolls of 16mm microfilm of traffic logs and selected incoming and outgoing messages that passed through the White House communications center during the period 1/1/61 through 11/22/63. The entire series of microfilm is closed because a high proportion of the items filmed are classified CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET in accordance with national security regulations. Electrostatic copies of portions have been made available for research use as indicated. There is no indication from the material itself as to why these documents were selected for microfilming, although it is clear that the material here represents but a portion of the total traffic passed by the White House communications center. A cursory scan of the film indicates that it is not of good quality and that it is difficult to read on a standard 35mm microfilm reader. Of particular interest are logs of traffic passed during trips to Canada, Europe and South America in 1961, trips to Mexico City and Nassau in 1962, and the trip to Costa Rica in 1963. Of additional interest are logs and traffic passed during several of President Kennedy's trips around the United States, including his last trip to Texas in 1963. The series is arranged chronologically for the most part, although there are inconsistencies as may be noted in the list of contents.

Arranged into two subseries: Meetings and Telephone Recordings.
The presidential recordings of White House meetings and telephone conversations are a series of the President's Office Files of the Presidential Papers of John F. Kennedy. The President's Office Files are the files that were kept by John F. Kennedy's personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, for his ready access and convenience adjacent to the Oval office in the White House. Mrs. Lincoln was also keeper of the audiotape and Dictabelt recordings of meetings and telephone conversations, hence the association of these recordings with the President's office Files even though they did not come to the Kennedy Library as an integral part of those files. Existence of the recordings was first announced by the Director of the John F. Kennedy Library in July 1973, and a number of articles in the national press reported the announcement. In December 1981, a preliminary list of audiotapes and Dictabelts, identifying the known contents to that date, was first made available to researchers at the Kennedy Library. The preliminary list was subsequently published in national newspapers in February 1982.
Arranged by original tape number.
The substance recorded on the tapes is predominantly meetings with the president in either the Oval Office or in the Cabinet Room. None of the recordings appear to be located elsewhere. Some tapes have only one meeting, others have several, and in still other cases a meeting is continued from one tape to another. Sometimes the recording does not begin until the meeting is already under way, and sometimes it ends before the end of the meeting. At other times the recording was left on and recording continued long after the end of a meeting. On some occasions the recording was apparently turned on accidentally by custodial personnel cleaning the oval office or Cabinet Room. Because of the fragmentary nature of some of the truncated meetings and conversations, and because of the tendency of some meetings and conversations to merge into one another as they do in the normal course of a business day, it is not possible to give a precise count of the number of separate e meetings and conversations. However, a rough count indicates the number to be well over 300. Some meetings and conversations are only a few minutes in length, but many last for periods from one-half hour to two hours.
All the recordings were taken from audiotapes. Each tape contained at least one and sometimes several meetings and fragments of meetings or conversations. Each tape is identified by its number, by the date found on the reel box or corresponding rough transcript, and by the principal topics of conversation or meeting. Tape numbers interpolated by the Kennedy Library for previously unnumbered tapes inserted into the list in chronological sequence appear in parentheses. Dating, for the most part, is verifiable by matching the event recorded to the daily appointments calendar of the president, and dates for these events are given with a much greater degree of confidence than in the case of the telephone conversation items.
While the recording was deliberate in the sense that it required manual operation to start and stop the recording, there does not seem to be a systematic pattern to its use. It was not, based on the material recorded, used with daily regularity, although it was used often. Nor was it used on some occasions when one might have expected it, such as the October 18, 1962 meeting with Andrei Gromyko.
The earliest established date for material recorded is 30 July 1962, and the latest is 8 November 1963. About 60 percent of the material recorded covers topics in international and foreign policy, including international economics. Another 15 percent deals with national defense. Further small amounts of material on intelligence, space, and atomic energy bring to at least 75 percent the proportion subject to national security protection. The remaining 25 percent of the substance is civil rights, the domestic economy, labor disputes, and other similar matters. There is some, but very little in the way of partisan politics apart from the context of the substantive matters of administration policy and legislation.

Sound recording of a meeting held on May 4, 1963, between President John F. Kennedy and his guests, twenty members of the organization Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) present for a lobbying session. The President takes the opportunity to pitch the successes of his administration’s legislative agenda to this liberal action group that on occasion had been critical of some of the moves of his administration. Earlier that day the New York Times ran an Associated Press photograph by Bill Hudson of a police dog lunging at a civil rights protester in Birmingham, Alabama. The President comments on the shock of the photograph at several points during the meeting and states with frustration, "I mean what law can you pass to do anything about police power in the community of Birmingham? There is nothing we can do… The fact of the matter is that Birmingham is in worse shape than any other city in the United States and it’s been that way for a year and a half… I think it’s terrible the picture in the paper. The fact of the matter that’s just what (Bull) Connor wants. And ah, as I say, Birmingham is the worst city in the south. They have done nothing for the Negroes in that community, so it is an intolerable situation, that there is no argument about." The President goes on to pointedly comment that in a recent meeting with a newspaperman, the reporter commented, "‘Isn’t it outrageous in Birmingham’ and I said, 'Why are you over there eating at the Metropolitan Club every day? You talk about Birmingham and you’re up there at the Metropolitan Club … they wouldn’t even let Negro ambassadors in.’ So now he (the reporter) said, ‘Well we want to work from the inside,’ and I said, ‘Well your one contribution is that now they won’t let white ambassadors in.’ (laughter) Most of your novelists that you read every day… they’re all over there at the Metropolitan Club… so I think that we have worked hard on civil rights. I think it is a national crisis." This sound recording has been excerpted from Tape 85, which contains additional sound recording(s) preceding and following this one. See Related Records to access Tape 85 in its entirety.
Sound recording of a meeting held on May 6, 1963, between President John F. Kennedy, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, and Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs McGeorge Bundy. Secretary Rusk reports to the President on his trip to India and Pakistan. Four segments of the recording totaling 2 minutes and 17 seconds have been removed for reasons of national security. This sound recording has been excerpted from Tape 85, which contains additional sound recording(s) preceding and following this one. See Related Records to access Tape 85 in its entirety.
Sound recording of an undated meeting, possibly held on May 7, 1963, between President John F. Kennedy and Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. They discuss various issues concerning the Department of Defense (DOD), including the military situation in Vietnam, the Congressional budget fight on military spending in Vietnam and personnel issues in DOD, specifically the nomination of a new Deputy Secretary of Defense. The exact date of this meeting is uncertain since it does not appear in the President’s Appointment Books. Secretary McNamara refers to his discussion "yesterday" on the same issues, which could refer to the SECDEF (Secretary of Defense) Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii, that took place on May 6, 1963. One segment of the recording totaling 1 minute and 50 seconds has been removed for reasons of national security. This sound recording has been excerpted from Tape 85, which contains additional sound recording(s) preceding and following this one. See Related Records to access Tape 85 in its entirety.
Sound recording of a meeting held on May 8, 1963, between President John F. Kennedy and Admiral George W. Anderson. They discuss Admiral Anderson's expiring term as Chief of Naval Operations. It is clear from Admiral Anderson's tone that he believes that Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara has been extremely critical of Admiral Anderson’s handling of the TFX affair. (The TFX fighter plane contract was awarded to General Dynamics over Boeing. Members of the military had complained that they had preferred the Boeing plans, and that these recommendations were not taken into account by Secretary McNamara in the final decisions. The United States Senate later began an investigation of this contract award.) Admiral Anderson criticizes Secretary McNamara’s handling of the Department of Defense (DOD) in general. The President is quiet for most of the meeting, but does discuss Admiral Anderson taking an Ambassadorship to Portugal. This sound recording has been excerpted from Tape 85, which contains additional sound recording(s) preceding this one. See Related Records to access Tape 85 in its entirety.

Averell Harriman, Assistant Secretary of State Phillips Talbot, Deputy Secretary of Defense Roswell Gilpatric, Ambassador to India Chester Bowles, Acting Administrator of the Agency for International Development (AID) Frank Coffin, Assistant Secretary of Defense William Bundy, and Member of the National Security Council Robert Komer. President Kennedy discusses with his staff the sale of mobile air defense units to India and potential diplomatic consequences. There is also extensive conversation on the possibility of providing a defense commitment to India in the case of a Chinese attack on the sub-continent and the use of nuclear weapons in the defense of countries in Asia instead of the introduction of large numbers of US soldiers. General Maxwell Taylor is first to bring up the issue of nuclear weapons versus ground troops. President Kennedy speaks briefly, and then General Taylor’s point is affirmed strongly by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara.

Sound recording of a meeting most likely held on May 17, 1963, between President John F. Kennedy, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs Philips Talbot, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs James P. Grant, Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs McGeorge Bundy, and member of the National Security Council Robert W. Komer. They discuss the Middle East, specifically the hope that an arms limitation agreement can be coordinated for that area of the world. Israel had wanted the United States to sign a security guarantee with them as a step towards the arms limitation agreement, but the Kennedy Administration is cautious about making any moves which will seem to align the United States with one side or the other and then alienate the Arabs or Israel. There was considerable finger-pointing between the United Arab Republic and Israel over each country possibly creating nuclear weapons. The goal of the United States is an arms limitation agreement with inspections, and this meeting provides an overview of the steps the Kennedy Administration wants to take to aid in the peace of the region. Eight segments of the recording totaling 5 minutes and 10 seconds have been removed in accordance with Section 3.4 (b) (1), (3) of Executive Order 12958. Please note that this meeting does not seem to be a continuation of the last meeting on tape 87, which covers the same subject. From the paperwork, this meeting on Tape 88 seems to be the 5:00 p.m. meeting that occurred on the same day (May 17, 1963). This sound recording has been excerpted from Tape 88, which contains additional sound recording(s) following this one. See Related Records to access Tape 88 in its entirety.

The meeting begins with a brief discussion about Cuba. In addition there is an interesting exchange later in the meeting concerning the Civil Aeronautics Board and a memo that President Kennedy wrote on some recent issues of concern, and there is some discussion about President Kennedy's upcoming trip to Europe. Eight segments of the recording totaling 4 minutes and 9 seconds have been removed in accordance with Section 3.4 (b) (1), (3) of Executive Order 12958.

Sound recording of a meeting held on May 24, 1963, between President John F.

President Kennedy voices concern that the space program has lost its glamor politically which in tandem with the Congressional push for budget cuts will make for a hard sell during the 1964 Presidential campaign. There is much commentary from Administrator Webb on the Congressional leadership, issues with congressional committees, and the budget needed for the success of the program. Administrator Webb and President Kennedy agree that emphasizing the military/national security aspect of the space program will help to bring the mission back into the forefront. Administrator Webb talks openly about President Kennedy’s leadership on science and technology, the importance of the space program, and how it will affect the country’s future. President Kennedy is attempting to find a way to make the space race return to political favor and public support, which he believes is now wavering. After the meeting there is a recording of a short eight-minute staff discussion that occurs either on September 18, 1963, or September 19, 1963.

Arranged into two subseries to distinguish the original accession from the 1998 addition.
Arranged by Dictabelt number.
This subseries consists of telephone conversations between the president and others, probably from either the President's phone in the Oval Office or from Evelyn Lincoln's phone in her office nearby. Mrs. Lincoln is also heard often as a party to a conversation, and occasionally others are heard without either Mrs. Lincoln or the president being a party to the conversation.
The earliest date for material on the Dictabelts is 10 September 1962, and the latest date is 29 October 1963. There are at least 280 separate conversations or fragments of conversations recorded. Only a small portion of the material, perhaps less than 10 percent, deals with foreign affairs or national defense and is subject to national security protection. Still less, perhaps less than 1 percent, are private family conversations subject to privacy protection. The largest group of items around one coherent subject are the recordings associated with the 1962 integration crisis at the University of Mississippi. While legislation and congressional liaison loom large as a joint category in this material, the subjects within that category are many and varied. Domestic politics, civil rights, legislation, and the economy account for most of the conversations, plus those in defense and foreign affairs already mentioned.
The Dictabelt recording was manually operated and therefore deliberate like the audiotape system, and it shows the same lack of systematic regularity and a certain amount of whimsical or accidental recording. Frequent although inconsistent use is indicated by the material.
