1 George Bush Presidential Library 1000 George Bush Drive West College Station, TX phone: (979) fax: (979) Inventory for FOIA Request Records on Nonproliferation of Non-Nuclear Weapons Particularly Biological and Chemical Weapons Extent 386 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, November Previously restricted materials are added as they are released. 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. FOIA concerns the nonproliferation of non-nuclear weapons, particularly chemical and 1

2 biological weapons. The FOIA collection documents all aspects of Bush Administration multilateral, bilateral, and unilateral policy formulation and decision making relating to non-nuclear weapons of mass destruction. It should be noted that the overwhelming majority of documents in this FOIA collection are closed for national security. Records comprising this FOIA collection include letters, internal memoranda, agenda, minutes, cables, treaties, talking points, reports, policy guidance, and clippings that document all aspects of nonproliferation issues during the Bush Administration. Of particular importance are materials relating to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). The MTCR was a voluntary multilateral effort to control the proliferation of ballistic missile technology. These materials document negotiations surrounding MTCR membership, missile trade issues, and technology transfer concerns. Additional materials of import in this collection concern the Australia Group, a multilateral effort to stymie the proliferation of chemical weapons technology. Numerous cables and memoranda document the ongoing chemical and biological weapons negotiations at the Conference on Disarmament. These materials provide detailed information about the evolution and formulation of U.S. policy regarding the maintenance, modernization, and reduction of weapons stockpiles. The FOIA collection also contains information which documents U.S. bilateral efforts with the Soviet Union and later Russia regarding chemical and biological weapons concerns. Cables, memoranda, minutes, agendas, letters, reports, and papers provide information about all aspects of President Bush s nonproliferation initiative including negotiations involving the Chemical and Biological Weapons Conventions. Of particular interest are materials relating to challenge inspections and site visits by teams of U.S. and Russian weapons experts. System of Arrangement Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in five collection areas Bush Presidential Records: WHORM Alphabetical Files; Bush Presidential Records: WHORM Subject Files; Bush Presidential Records: Staff and Office Files; Bush Vice Presidential Records: Staff and Office 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 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. Bush Presidential Records: WHORM Alphabetical Files Name Brumfeld, James W. Vieira, Gibert H. Wilker, Machama 2
