The President's File contains records maintained by the Office of the President. The files have been arranged into two subseries: President's Correspondence, 1956-1992, and President's Subject Files, 1921-1992. The correspondence files contain a major gap from 1962-1985. The President's Correspondence Files are arranged chronologically by folder; the documents within the folders are filed in reverse chronological order. The subject files' inclusive dates are 1921-1992, but the bulk of the records represent activities from the 1980s and early 1990s. The documents within the folders have been maintained in their original order.

The final version of the second article, which concerned the Red Scare in Detroit and other cities, appeared in Popular Culture and Political Change in Modern America (Albany: SUNY Press, 1991), a collection of essays edited by Ronald Edsforth and Larry Bennett.
