On Tuesday, June 23, the Nixon Library -- officially, the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum -- will be releasing approximately 154 hours of additional Nixon White House tape recordings, as well as about 30,000 pages of text.
The recordings are from some 994 White House conversations that took place in January and February 1973. According to the public affairs staff at the National Archives, the topics include
the conclusion of a peace settlement between the United States and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the return of American POWs, President Nixon's second inauguration, the U.S. and Europe, the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision, energy policy, the reorganization of the executive branch, and the first Watergate trial.
The recordings will be made available at the Nixon library in Yorba Linda, Calif., and the National Archives in College Park, Md. You can also find them at www.nixonlibrary.gov.
