LIST OF MATERIALS ON NUCLEAR POWER AND NUCLEAR WEAPONS

This list includes the principal files in the Johnson Library that contain material relating to Nuclear Power and Nuclear Weapons. It is not definitive, however, and researchers should consult with the Library's archivists and seek out other potentially useful files. (See also searches on Arms Control & Disarmament; Science & Technology; Space; and other related topics and individuals.) This search includes those collections that have been opened in part or in whole, as well as those collections that are currently unprocessed or unavailable. Collections that have been opened in part or in whole are marked with an asterisk (*).

PRE-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1937-1963

LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON ARCHIVES, 1931-1958 (LBJA)

In 1958 the Johnson staff began a records management

program that included a plan to dispose of non-current

files. The staff set up the Lyndon Baines Johnson

Archives (LBJA) to house items to be retained rather

than scheduled for disposal. Files from Johnson's

House and Senate tenure screened, and selected files

and items were moved to the LBJA file. Between 1958

and 1963 the staff continued to add to LBJA. During

the White House period, items were occasionally added.

The LBJA comprises four parts: a Congressional file;

a Famous Names file; a Selected Names file; and a

Subject File.

NATIONAL SECURITY FILE, 1963-1969

The National Security File (NSF) was the working file of President Johnson's special assistants for national security affairs, McGeorge Bundy and Walt Rostow. Documents in the file originated in the offices of Bundy and Rostow and their staffs, in the various executive departments and agencies, especially those concerning foreign affairs and national defense, and in diplomatic and military posts around the world. More than half of the National Security File has been processed. Folders whose titles are preceded by an asterisk (*) have been processed and their contents declassified in whole or in part. Lists of classified documents have been placed in folders, and you may request mandatory review of individual documents that have not yet been declassified in full. Those folders not preceded by an asterisk (*) are unprocessed and are not subject to mandatory declassification review. Please consult with an archivist for information on the processing schedule.
