  • The Loneliness of Richard Nixon They Check the Tapes out of the Locked and Guarded Room of the Executive Of- Fice Building Next Door to the White House
    THE PRESIDENCY/HUGH SIDEY The Loneliness of Richard Nixon They check the tapes out of the locked and guarded room of the Executive Of- fice Building next door to the White House. Then Stephen Bull, special assistant to the President, sorts them out by number and date, as designated in the subpoenas. It is not all that easy to find the exact conversations that the prosecutors want. While the tape reels from the Oval Office have only one day's conversation or less on them, the reels from the President's hideaway in the E.O.B. may have as much as a week's conversation, depending on how frequently he secluded himself in that office. The recordings from the bugged phones in the Oval Office, the Lincoln Sit- ting Room and the E.O.B. may have as much as two or three weeks of conver- sation on them. Tension and concern now run so high in the White House over the tapes and the future of Richard Nixon that Bull and others have instituted a kind of Fail- Safe system to help guard the integrity of the tapes, or whatever of it remains. Bull will not handle the original reels. He gets only duplicates. He carefully takes each 5- in. reel and puts it on a small Sony tape recorder whose erase mechanism has been immobilized by White House technicians. Then he clamps earphones on his head and begins to track down the specified conversations that the court has ordered to be turned over. When Bull finds the right conversation he stops the machine.

  • White House Oval Office Scavenger Hunt for All Ages
    White House Oval Office Scavenger Hunt for all ages Facts about the Oval Office: This is a full-scale replica of The White House Oval Office. The West Wing where it is located was built in 1902 during President Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency. The first Oval Office was built in 1909 during the presidency of William Howard Taft. Painted green, it included a skylight that was later removed. The West Wing burned in 1929; only the fireplace mantel survives from that earlier era. To improve private access and light, President Franklin Roosevelt moved the room to its current location in 1934 and added the three French doors leading to the Rose Garden. The room’s architecture has changed little since except for the flooring. Presidents decorate the office to suit their own personal tastes and needs. Neither President Eisenhower nor Carter changed the room as furnished by their predecessors. President Obama added a striped wallpaper in 2010. A portrait of George Washington is always present in the Oval Office. The painting over the mantel here is a reproduction of an original by Rembrandt Peale done in 1853. The Presidential desk is a reproduction of “The Resolute Desk”, a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880. The plaque on the face of the desk tells its story. It first appeared in the Oval Office of President John F. Kennedy. While many have used the desk in their private study, it was also in the Oval Office of Presidents Carter, Reagan, Clinton, George W. Bush and the current President, Barack Obama.

  • Cabinet Room Scope and Content Notes
    WHITE HOUSE TAPES CABINET ROOM CONVERSATIONS Nixon Presidential Materials Staff National Archives and Records Administration Linda Fischer Mark Fischer Ronald Sodano February 2002 NIXON WHITE HOUSE TAPES CABINET ROOM TAPES On October 16, 1997, the Nixon Presidential Materials staff opened eighty-three Nixon White House tapes containing conversations which took place within the Cabinet Room from February 16, 1971 through July 18, 1973. This release consisted of approximately 436 conversations and totaled approximately 154 hours. The Cabinet Room was one of seven locations in which conversations were surreptitiously taped. The complete Cabinet Room conversations are available to the public on reference cassettes C1 – C251 During review of the Cabinet Room tapes, approximately 78 hours of conversations were withdrawn under the provisions of the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act of 1974 (PRMPA) (44 USC 2111 note) and Executive Order (EO) 12356. These segments were re-reviewed under EO 12958 (April 17, 1995). As a result, the Nixon Presidential Materials Staff was able to open approximately 69 hours of previously restricted audio segments. The declassified segments were released on February 28, 2002, and are available as excerpted conversation segments on reference cassettes E504 – E633. These recorded White House tapes are part of the Presidential historical materials of the Nixon Administration. These materials are in the custody of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the provisions of the PRMPA. Access to the Nixon Presidential materials is governed by the PRMPA and its implementing public access regulations. A Brief History of the White House Taping System In February 1971, the United State Secret Service (USSS), at the request of the President, installed listening devices in the White House.

  • White House Open City Securing Access at the President's Park
    National Park Service White House Open City U.S. Department of the Interior Securing Access at the President’s Park Icon For nearly two centuries the White House was a cherished symbol of liberty, justice, and accountability in government. Though the symbolism sometimes seemed empty, the meaning of the People’s House was surprisingly resilient and remarkably enduring. Until today. Our government tells us that we are at war with an enemy who wants to destroy us. Our government tells us that our most precious values and beliefs are under attack. Our government tells us that they hate us because we are free. Our government responds by attacking our most precious values and beliefs. Our government responds by jeopardizing the very freedoms it claims to protect. Our government responds by tarnishing our reputation and besmirching our beloved icons. The White House today is a symbol of obfuscation and opacity, of injustice and unaccountability. From behind a forbidding wall of Executive Privilege and National Security, the White House refuses to grant the people access. Fortress America has reached 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and the President’s Park is now off limits. Map of Washington, D.C., 1819 Open City In 2008, we, the people, respond by declaring the White House an Open City. Unfortified and undefended, it is thus exempt from enemy attack, whether this enemy dwells on foreign shores or occupies the Oval Office. In declaring the White House an Open City we intend, quite literally, to return the People’s House to the people, and to preserve this icon of freedom and democracy for future generations.
