WHITE HOUSE OFFICE, OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL ASSISTANT FOR NATIONAL SECURITY AFFAIRS: Records, 1952-61 Special Assistant Series, Subject Subseries

[NOTE: The last box of this subseries contains approximately 400 pages which were received by the Library as part of the National Security Council Staff Records in August 1981 (see accession 82-18). It was apparent that they had been stored with the NSC records by mistake and that they were actually records of the Special Assistant for National Security Affairs, so they were accessioned separately and placed at the end of this subseries. Having been received unarranged in two manila envelopes, they were placed in folders with titles devised by a staff archivist.]
