This collection contains memoranda, letters, briefing papers, and reports that President Gerald Ford initialed or otherwise annotated along with a small number of documents entirely in his hand. Gertrude Fry of the Staff Secretary's Office selected the documents from among those found in the Oval Office outbox. Even if a document case contained handwriting on only one page, Fry placed the entire case in the Handwriting File.
This collection covers most Ford administration topics, but researchers should note its limitations. Many documents from the President's outbox contained no annotations, so Fry just stamped them "The President has seen" and sent them to the White House Central Files. In addition, the Handwriting File seldom reflects White House staff work before or after an issue was referred to the President. It is probable, especially for the first half of the administration, that some handwriting items relating to national security matters were returned to the National Security Council or other agencies.
President Ford seldom added extensive comments or notes to documents. Usually he merely initialed them, placed a check mark next to the option he preferred, or added a brief note such as "Send to Jack Marsh for handling." These documents are significant because they were seen by the President and often reflect his decisions.

Collection
This collection consists of the the combined files of the Directors of the Presidential Scheduling Office, Warren Rustand, and his successor, William Nicholson. Rustand previously served as Vice President Gerald Ford’s Director of Scheduling and Advance. A small number of documents are included in this collection from this earlier post. In November 1975, Nicholson, who was the Deputy Director of the Presidential Scheduling Office was promoted to Director, following Rustand’s resignation. Nicholson inherited Rustand’s files and continued them, largely following the same filing scheme, until the end of President Ford’s term in office.
This collection contains correspondence, calendars, schedules, schedule proposals, briefing papers, Cabinet meeting minutes, foreign travel requests, and publications compiled or created by Presidential Scheduling office staff. This office served as the entrance point for all demands on the President’s time, including requests for public appearances, meetings with the public or staff, or telephone calls to individuals or organizations. The Director proposed daily, weekly, and monthly schedules for the President. The proposals were first sent to the Assistant to the President for White House Operations (Donald Rumsfeld, and later, Richard Cheney) for their comments and then on to President Ford for approval. After approval, the finalized schedule would be copied and sent out to pertinent staff members. The Scheduling Office also kept finalized copies of each type of schedule, as well as copies of letters accepting or declining invitations.
Although the bulk of the collection’s files pertain to the duty of scheduling, other areas are also represented. The Scheduling Office initially had major responsibility for working with the Cabinet. At the beginning of the Ford administration, the head of this office also served as Secretary to the Cabinet, and even after James Connor was named to that post in January 1975, Rustand continued much of the Cabinet liaison work. This work included briefings for new Cabinet members, developing meeting agenda, taking notes, and communications. Following Rustand’s departure, these Cabinet-related duties were transferred to the Secretary to the Cabinet. An exception to this was oversight of the Presidential Spokesmen Office. This office handled event invitations that the President had to decline, but which were considered important enough that the administration should be represented at the event. The office coordinated the schedules of administration spokesmen such as Cabinet officers and agency heads and arranged for them to speak on behalf of the President.
The Scheduling Office also kept records of presidential telephone calls, scheduled political activities in conjunction with the President Ford Committee, analyzed how the President’s time was spent, scheduled the use of Camp David, U.S.S. Sequoia (presidential yacht), and the President’s Kennedy Center box. This collection includes reference material including presidential meeting briefing papers, press releases, and speeches.
