Outside the System Files

Series

This series contains memoranda, briefing papers, reports, correspondence, notes, and messages. These items are usually from National Security Council (NSC) staff members to National Security Advisers Henry Kissinger and Brent Scowcroft or from Kissinger and Scowcroft to President Gerald Ford. Supplemental materials from the Departments of State and Defense and Central Intelligence Agency are often included with the NSC items. Researchers will not find a concentration of material on any given foreign affairs or national security topic, but rather individual documents of high importance. Major topics include arms control negotiations, nuclear test ban negotiations, arms sales, military assistance for Israel, the Middle East peace process, reorganization of the intelligence community, Angola, Cuba, and the Soviet Union. Items concerning the Richard Nixon to Gerald Ford transition and worldwide reaction to President Ford's assumption of office are available, as well as briefing materials prepared for Donald Rumsfeld's confirmation hearings as Secretary of Defense. Other materials relate to personnel matters and administration and organization of the NSC. The volume of material is uneven over the course of the Ford administration. This file contains relatively small amounts of material for several months of 1975, and nothing for September of that year.
