The material in this FOIA request primarily consists of the routine letters from the public and Congress, routine White House memorandum, news clippings, press releases, and related government reports. The majority of the letters are correspondence from the public and Congress; these letters offer opinions on whether or not the U.S. should be providing aid to Russia and other post-ussr republics, as well as suggestions on what type of aid should be provided. The memoranda include routine transmittal sheets, routine meeting agendas and schedules, and responses to public correspondence. The news-clippings, press releases, and government reports are published private and government material related to past private and government aid to the USSR, suggestions for future aid, the economic situation in the former USSR, and related issues. A significant amount of material responsive to this FOIA is contained in the files of the National Security Council (NSC).

Previously restricted materials are added as they are released. System of Arrangement Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in three collection areas Bush Presidential Records: WHORM Alphabetical Files; Bush Presidential Records: WHORM Subject Files; Bush Presidential Records: Staff and Office Files. As policy, WHORM Alphabetical Files and WHORM Subject Files are processed at the document level; whereas, Staff and Office Files are processed at the folder level, that is, individual documents are not selected and removed from a folder for processing. While this method maintains folder integrity, it frequently results in the incidental processing of documents that are not wholly responsive to the subject area.

A complete listing of the subject categories including a detailed description of each category is available in our research room and on our website at Please note that a single asterisk "*" indicates that the category is entirely processed and open.
