Souter United States Supreme Court Justice Extent 179 folders Access Collection is open to all researchers. Access to Bush Presidential Records, Bush Vice Presidential Records, and Quayle Vice Presidential Records is governed by the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)(5 USC 552 as amended) and the Presidential Records Act (PRA)(44 USC 22) and therefore records may be restricted in whole or in part in accordance with legal exemptions. Copyright Documents in this collection that were prepared by officials of the United States government as part of their official duties are in the public domain. Researchers are advised to consult the copyright law of the United States (Title 17, USC) which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Provenance Official records of George Bush s presidency and vice presidency are housed at the George Bush Presidential Library and administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the provisions of the Presidential Records Act (PRA). Processed By Staff Archivists, May 1998. Previously restricted materials are added as they are released. Related Collections Related material may be found in FOIA request 1998-0206-F [2] entitled David H. Souter and 1998-0206-F [3] also entitled David H. Souter. Scope and Content The materials in FOIA are a selective, not necessarily all inclusive, body of documents responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials. 1
FOIA contains the first segment of material related to the appointment of David H. Souter to the Supreme Court. President Bush announced his selection of Souter to replace Justice William Brennan on July 24, 1990. Senate Judiciary Committee hearings were held in September 1990 and Souter was sworn-in on October 8, 1990. Material consists of published articles, reports, hearings, and case summaries, as well as routine correspondence and memoranda from the public, private organizations, Congress, and the Bush administration. Please note that * indicates that the collection is entirely processed and open. A more detailed description of the materials is available in the finding aid for the office or category. 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; and Quayle Vice Presidential Records: Staff and Office Files. As policy, WHORM Alphabetical Files and WHORM Subject Files are processed at the document level. 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. The WHORM Subject File compiled by the White House Office of Records Management is comprised of a series of documents assigned a letter/number combination and filed in a subject category. 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 http://bushlibrary.tamu.edu/research/find/whorm/whorm.html. Please note that a single asterisk "*" indicates that the category is entirely processed and open. The following is a list of documents and folders processed in response to FOIA.
