Railroad Work Rules Dispute consists of 4 hours 4 1/2 minutes of White House meetings
in 10 meetings and 9 minutes of telephone conversations in 4 conversations [1]. It
was opened for research use on November 13, 1985. Because of the prohibitive cost
of transcribing the extensive meetings material, transcripts have not been prepared
for the meeting tapes. Instead, brief log descriptions have been written for each
item to help the user in identifying which tapes to listen to and in actually listening
to the tapes. The logs give the number of the item, date, length, title, participants,
description and date opened. The item number is made up of the tape number the item
came from and, following the decimal point, the item's sequence on that tape - for
example, 96.3 is the third item on tape 96. The logs are prepared on a computer, so,
with some notice, information may be retrieved by any of the above categories. Transcripts
have been prepared for the briefer telephone conversations since the Library already
possessed good transcripts and since the amount of material involved is so much smaller
than the meetings material. The complete body of the presidential recordings of John
F, Kennedy is described in the Register of Presidential Recordings of White House
Meetings and Telephone Conversations, 1962 - 1963 which is available in the Library's
research room. It may also be requested through interlibrary loan or may be purchased.
In addition, the Library has a list of those presidential recordings which have been
opened to date. There were openings in June, August and October 1983 and July 1984.
1. Six and a quarter minutes of the telephone conversations in 3 conversations are
newly released. One telephone conversation, 23A.3, which is 2 3/4 minutes long, was
opened in July 1984 as part of the Civil Rights, 1963 package. It is repeated here
because it also deals with the railroad work rules dispute..
