MEDIA ALERT: Additional Reagan and Bush Records To Be Released

WHAT: 150 pages of Presidential records of Ronald Reagan's Presidency and 40 pages of Vice Presidential records of George H. W. Bush's Vice Presidency, which largely concern appointments. These records were among the approximately 68,000 pages of Reagan records and approximately 880 pages of Bush Vice Presidential records that were previously withheld under the Presidential Records Act's 12-year, post-Presidency protection for records reflecting confidential advice among White House officials.

In accordance with the procedures established by Executive Order 13233, representatives of former President Reagan, former Vice President George H. W. Bush, and President George W. Bush have decided not to assert any constitutionally based privilege with respect to these records.

In total to date, the Reagan Library has opened nearly 5.5 million out of a total of 43.8 million pages of Reagan Presidential Records; similarly, the Bush Library has opened nearly 61,000 out of a total of 5 million pages of Bush Vice Presidential Records, and nearly 4 million out of 34 million pages of Bush Presidential records.
