INTRODUCTION

When Barry Roth joined Gerald Ford’s vice presidential staff in January 1974, he was only twenty-four years old and had yet to complete his law degree. In spite of his youth, he had already worked as a legal assistant to the General Counsel of the General Services Administration (GSA.) William Casselman. When Casselman became General Counsel to Vice President Ford, he brought Roth along as his assistant. Casselman and Roth continued on the vice presidential staff until August 9, 1974 when Ford succeeded to the White House. They then became part of the staff of the Office of the Counsel to the President, headed by Philip Buchen.

The Roth Files document the work of both Casselman and Roth. Roth inherited many of Casselman’s files when he took over many of Casselman’s duties in the fall of 1975. The collection also includes some folders that apparently were part of the Philip Buchen Files, but got turned over to Roth or Casselman. A few folders in the General Subject File and the Chronological File contain materials from the Ford vice presidency, but the bulk of the collection dates from the Ford administration.

Their years with the General Services Administration had given Casselman and Roth significant experience with legal matters involving the National Archives and Records Service, then a part of GSA. Therefore Buchen assigned them to handle most matters concerning papers, archives, and access to information. The collection documents extensively the immense amount of work involved in overseeing the collection of and access to the papers of former President Richard Nixon, monitoring all of the lawsuits involving the Nixon papers, communicating with the Nixon attorneys, and responding to requests and subpoenas for Nixon documents and tapes from the Watergate Special Prosecution Force and congressional committees. In addition to files of Roth and Casselman on these matters, the collection includes a file created by Staff Assistant Gertrude Fry of the Staff Secretary’s Office concerning the administration of the White House Special Files Unit and her role with the Nixon Papers and tapes.

In addition to the Nixon Papers, the collection contains material on such matters as President Ford’s own papers, Freedom of Information policy and specific requests, declassification policy (including the work of the Interagency Classification Review Committee), the handling of gifts received by the President, right to privacy, administration of the Indochina refugee resettlement program, presidential protection and other matters involving the U.S. Secret Service, and standards of conduct (ethics) for the White House staff.

In June 1975, Roth received a promotion from Staff Assistant to Assistant Counsel to the President and began taking on more responsibility. This process was accelerated by the departure of Casselman from the White House staff in September 1975. Roth inherited many of Casselman’s duties.

Although the amount of work involving the Nixon Papers was beginning to decline by this time, the start of the 1976 presidential campaign brought many new legal questions for Roth to handle. In conjunction with Robert Visser, Legal Counsel to the President Ford Committee (PFC), Roth monitored decisions and regulations of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) that might affect the President, his staff, and his campaign. For instance, when President Ford appointed Rogers Morton to the position of Counsellor to the President for Political Affairs, Democrats filed complaints with the FEC over the use of public funds to pay his salary. The collection contains significant materials on this and other matters considered by the FEC

Another matter considered by the FEC involved the allocation of expenses for presidential trips that included political or campaign-related events. Working out the exact allocation of expenses so that the appropriate ones were paid by the White House, Republican Party, or the PFC involved much work by Roth and others on the White House staff. In addition to Roth’s own files on this matter, the collection includes a file that he took over from the Staff Secretary’s Office detailing the development of cost allocation procedures and the actual payment of specific expenses by the Republican Party and the PFC

The last series in the collection contains all of the appointment slips for White House visitors to the Ford Vice Presidential offices and the offices of the Commission on CIA Activities within the United States (Rockefeller Commission).

Related Materials (August 2005):

Closely-related materials are the Legal Counsel’s files in the Ford Vice Presidential Papers (detailing the work of Casselman and Roth in that period), a small collection of William Casselman’s White House Files, and the unprocessed Legal Counsel’s files for the Ford Transition Office in the Gerald R. Ford Post-Presidential Papers. The collection now known as the Kenneth Lazarus Files once served as a sort of “Central Files” for the Counsel to the President’s Office and contains Casselman and Roth documents from that time period. The files of Counsel to the President Philip Buchen contain materials on many of the same topics as appear in the Roth Files.

Series Descriptions

1-37 General Subject File, 1974-1977. (14.8 linear feet)

Memoranda, correspondence, reports, clippings, press releases, lists, minutes, notes, and executive orders. The series concerns a variety of legal matters facing the Ford White House. Although the bulk of the materials dates from the White House period, a few folders contain material from his work on the Ford Vice Presidential staff. The series contains materials created by both Casselman and Roth and occasional folders from the files Philip Buchen.

Political topics include Federal Election Commission (FEC) regulations and decisions, the Supreme Court’s Buckley v. Valeo decision which found portions of the election campaign act unconstitutional, legislation passed by Congress to reconstitute the FEC, President Ford Committee (PFC) reports of receipts and expenditures, discussions about the use of White House staff (especially Rogers Morton) in the 1976 presidential campaign, election filing requirements for the 1976 presidential primaries, President Ford’s fundraising letters for Republican causes, and the organization and operation of the PFC Another major topic was the payment of expenses for presidential trips. The series documents many of the White House discussions about the proper allocation of such expenses on trips which involved both political and official events, including decisions to pay from White House, Republican Party, or campaign committee funds.

Another major topic area is government information policy, including archives and access to documents. The series contains much on Freedom of Information policy and specific requests, declassification policy (including the work of the Interagency Classification Review Committee and the related National Security Study Memorandum 229), presidential papers, the handling of gifts received by the President, and the right to privacy.

Other significant topics in this series include audits of White House accounts, appointments of judges to District of Columbia courts, the administration of the Indochina refugee resettlement program, a study of some of the opinions rendered by Judge John Paul Stevens prior to President Ford’s decision to appoint him to the Supreme Court, presidential protection and other matters involving the U.S. Secret Service, and standards of conduct (ethics) for the White House staff.

Arranged alphabetically by subject and chronologically thereunder.

38-55 Nixon Papers Subject File, 1973-1977. (7.0 linear feet)

Memoranda, correspondence, reports, lists, testimony, notes, depositions, legal motions, court briefs, and court opinions. The material concerns all aspects of the handling of the Nixon papers by the Ford White House – segregation, access, security, protection, and custody. Included is correspondence with the Nixon lawyers, the Watergate Special Prosecution Force, congressional committees, attorneys and others over access to documents and tapes among the Nixon papers. In addition, the material concerns lawsuits involving the papers (such as Nixon v. Administrator of General Services or Nixon v. Sampson), foreign gifts made to President Nixon, depositions by Benton Becker and Philip Buchen, a Special Prosecutor research project in the papers, and access to rooms in the White House where the papers and tapes were stored.

Arranged alphabetically by subject and chronologically thereunder.

55-78 Litigation File, 1974-1977. (9.4 linear feet)

Court opinions, motions, and briefs for a wide variety of lawsuits involving the nation, the President, or other high administration officials. The staff of the Counsel’s Office referred such cases to the Justice Department for handling, but monitored the progress of the cases to determine their potential impact. Many cases in this series touch in some way on the Nixon papers. Although a few have the Nixon papers as their central focus (e.g. Nixon v. Sampson), many cases focused on other topics but became tied up the with handling of the Nixon papers when attorneys requested access to documents from the Nixon White House. Another important case is Schmalzried v. Ford, which involved allegations of sex discrimination against the Ford White House by Darlene Schmalzried, a former editor of the President’s News Summary.

Arranged alphabetically by title and chronologically thereunder. Although the bulk of the folder titles are the name of court cases, a few more generic titles (Depositions, Indices, Litigation – General, etc.) appear.

79-81 Chronological File, 1974-1976. (1.2 linear feet)

Carbon copies of outgoing memoranda and letters. The materials concern a variety of legal matters from both the Vice Presidential and White House periods. The series contains no folders for the last three months of the Ford administration.

Arranged chronologically.

87-102 Jerry Jones and James Connor File on Politics and Political Travel, 1974-1977. (6.2 linear feet)

Memoranda, correspondence, bills, receipts, lists, and computer printouts. Jones and Connor served successively as Staff Secretary of the Ford White House. In that role, they created this file focusing mainly on the allocation and reimbursement of costs of political travel by the President, First Lady, and the Ford children. The series documents reimbursements to the White House by the Republican Party for costs associated with political events (party fundraisers , etc.) and by the President Ford Committee (PFC) for any costs associated with 1976 presidential campaign events. The series also includes materials on studies concerning presidential travel and meetings held to determine the proper allocation of costs. In addition to this material on presidential travel, the series contains material relating more generally to the conduct of the 1976 presidential campaign and the work of the PFC, political expenses that did not involve travel, and White House budgets and administrative matters.

Arranged alphabetically by subject and chronologically thereunder.

102-104 Gertrude Fry File on Special Files Administration, 1974-1977. (0.8 linear feet)
