    Materials of the President's Personal File Among Nixon Presidential Materials, 1969-74 The Presidential historical materials of the President's Personal File are in the custody of the National Archives and Records Administration under the provisions of Title I of the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-526, 88 Stat. 1695) and implementing regulations. In accordance with the act and regulations, archiv1sts reviewed the file group to identify personal and private materials (including materials outside the date span covered by the act) as well as non-historical items. These materials have been returned to former President Richard M. Nixon or the individual who has primary proprietary interest. Materials covered by the act have been archivally processed and are described in this register. Items which are security classified or otherwise restricted under the act and regulations have been removed and placed in a closed file. A Document Withdrawal Record (GSA Form 7279) with a description of each restricted document has been inserted at the beginning of each folder from which materials have been removed. A Document Control Record marks the original position of the withdrawn item. Employees of the National Archives will review periodically the unclassified portions of closed materials for the purpose of opening those which no longer require restriction. Certain classified documents may be declassified under authority of Executive Order 12356 in response to a Mandatory Review Request (GSA Form 7277) submitted

You were the class clown and could break up everyone in the room except the teacher with a well-place remark. You like to tell jokes and be the life of a party. You think that it would be great fun to share your particular sense of humor with other people and the best way to do that is by putting it into written form. Once that you have done that, the only thing better would be to see it published, unless it would be to get paid for it. Well, I have some good news and some bad news for you. The good news is that the editors of just about every magazine, from the Baptist Standard to Cattlemen's Gazette, state that they are always looking for good humor pieces for their publications.
