This collection documents James Connor's responsibilities as Staff Secretary and Cabinet Secretary, especially White House administrative matters; the flow of presidential paperwork; and the planning, preparation and follow-up of Cabinet meetings. His special expertise in energy policy and his work on intelligence community reforms is also well documented.
The Connor files are especially full in documenting his work with Chief of Staff Donald Rumsfeld during 1975, both as Cabinet Secretary and as Staff Secretary. A number of series span the entire Ford administration and include files accumulated by Connor's predecessor as Staff Secretary, Jerry Jones. The Presidential Personnel Appointments File in particular appears to cover a wide range of personnel decisions throughout the administration. However, the Staff Comments File and possibly the Courier Materials File are incomplete for much of 1976. Connor's files on intelligence community reforms are strongest for July to September 1975, although some later materials appear.
Although he also was involved in planning the presidential campaign of 1976 and the transition from the Gerald Ford to Jimmy Carter administrations, these latter topics are incompletely documented in the files.

The legislation case files document the central clearance procedure on legislation sent to the President for signature or veto. Thomas M. Jones, Chief of Records, maintained these files in the Records Office, one of the permanent operating offices that provided routine administrative support for the White House. Robert D. Linder, White House Chief Executive Clerk since 1971, directed the permanent operating offices. One of Linder's responsibilities was to begin the clearance procedure that provided the President with recommendations on enrolled legislation and to assure that the record of his decisions was preserved.
Most enrolled bills and joint resolutions requiring the President's action passed through a standard clearance procedure in the White House. The Executive Clerk first requested the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to obtain comments and recommendations from concerned federal agencies. The OMB forwarded these written comments to the White House along with a summary of the main features of the legislation, related congressional documents, and a recommended decision. This was the "bill report" upon which other comments were based. The White House Staff Secretary circulated the bill report to appropriate White House offices for their comments, especially the staff of the Domestic Council or the National Security Council. The Staff Secretary also requested the Editorial Office to draft press statements for possible release. Finally , he submitted the complete package to the President, including the official parchment copies of the legislation. After James Canon became Executive Director of the Domestic Council in February 1975, he provided the President with a cover memorandum for each measure, further summarizing its key features and the recommended decisions.
The President had three possible choices with any legislation passed during a regular session of Congress. He either signed the measure, allowed it to become law without his signature after ten days, or vetoed it by returning the legislation to Capitol Hill. Measures vetoed during the regular session could still become law if a two-thirds majority of the House and the Senate voted to override the President's decision. If he took no action on a measure passed at the end of a session of Congress, it did not become law, instead, it was "pocket vetoed",with no possibility of Congressional override.
The legislation case files in the Ford Library contain material on President Ford's decisions on every public and private enrolled bill or joint resolution passed by the Congress and sent to him for action, including those he vetoed or pocket vetoed. A typical file includes: a text of the measure; House and Senate reports; the OMB bill report and federal agency recommendations; press releases; and a covering memorandum from the Domestic Council Executive Director. President Ford's decision is often indicated by his initials on OMB or Domestic Council memoranda. Many files, especially vetoed measures, contain draft statements and press releases and additional documentation of the White House clearance procedure. Case files for a few of the most controversial pieces of legislation, such as the Tax Reduction Act of 1975 and the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1974, are incomplete because they did not follow the standard clearance procedure. The files are arranged in chronological order by date of action by the President and thereunder in the following order: Senate bills, Senate joint resolutions, House bills, House joint resolutions.
