Abstract

These Presidential historical materials are in the custody of the National Archives and Records Administration under the provisions of Title I of the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act of 1974 (44 U.S.C. 2111 note), and implementing regulations. In accordance with the act and regulations, archivists reviewed the file group to identify private or personal as well as non-historical items. Such items, if found, have been withdrawn for return to the individual with primary proprietary or commemorative interest in them.

Materials covered by this act have been archivally processed and are described in this finding aid. Items that are security classified or otherwise restricted under the act and regulations have been removed and placed in a closed file. A Document Withdrawal Record (NA Form 14021) has been placed in the front of each folder describing each withdrawn item. Employees of the National Archives will review periodically the unclassified portions of closed materials for the purpose of opening those which no longer require restrictions. Classified documents may be reviewed for declassification under authority of Executive Order 13526 in response to Mandatory Review Request (NA Form 14020) submitted by the researcher.

The Board certified vehicles, determined by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to be low-emission vehicles under the Clean Air Amendments, for purchase by the Federal government as substitute vehicles. This certification related to a vehicle's safety, performance, serviceability, and other characteristics. The Board consisted of the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (who served as Chair), the Secretary of Transportation, the Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality, the Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Administrator of General Services, and two persons appointed by the President.
