It is not definitive, however, and researchers should consult with the Library s archivists about other potentially useful files. The guide includes those collections that have been opened for research in part or in whole, and those collections that are currently unprocessed or unavailable. Researchers may also want to consult the Foreign Relations of the United States series before conducting research at the Johnson Library. This multi-volume documentary history is the official record of U.S. diplomatic activity. The volumes contain many documents from the holdings of the Johnson Library. The published volumes are available on-line at the State Department s web site at and you can also reach that site through the Related Links section of the Johnson Library web site ( under the Research button. Bound volumes may be available at any major university or public library. NATIONAL SECURITY FILE (NSF) This file was the working file of President Johnson's special assistants for national security affairs, McGeorge Bundy and Walt W. Rostow. Documents in the file originated in the offices of Bundy and Rostow and their staffs, in the various executive departments and agencies, especially those having to do with foreign affairs and national defense, and in diplomatic and military posts around the world. Over one-half of the National Security File has been processed and opened for research. Consult the finding aid in the reading room or borrow a copy through interlibrary loan by writing to the Supervisory Archivist, LBJ Library, 2313 Red River Street, Austin, Texas Some parts of the finding aid, including the finding aid for the Country File, are available on the Johnson Library s web site.
