RECORDINGS AND TRANSCRIPTS OF TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS

The Johnson Library staff is currently processing the recordings and transcripts of President Johnson's telephone conversations. The collection includes over 5,000 recordings of conversations with members of Congress, other public officials, civil rights leaders, members of the press, friends, and family.

JFK assassination-related recordings and transcripts identified by the Library staff from four periods during the administration were opened in increments from September 30, 1993, through April 15, 1994 (please consult the finding aid for that collection for further information). The JFK Assassination Records Collection, located at the National Archives at College Park, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, 20740, has copies of these recordings and transcripts. On October 11, 1996, the Library opened conversations recorded in January through March of 1964 and will open chronological increments of the collection periodically. The unprocessed portion of the collection may include conversations of interest to you which are not included on this guide. If you wish to be notified when additional recordings and transcripts are released, please contact the Library.

Many of the recordings were NOT TRANSCRIBED. The transcripts that were made were prepared in the White House and during the drafting of the President's memoirs, The Vantage Point, published in 1971. Researchers should be cautioned that these transcripts are not always reliable and should never be used without checking them against the actual recordings to assure accuracy.
