OFFICE OF PRESIDENTIAL: Records, 1981-1989
The Office of Presidential Advance provided planning and support for
all presidential travel and many of the local
Activities within this office were centered round the “trip desk,”
which was the coordinating point for trips and events, as well as other
activities such as site surveys conducted independently of specific trips.
Records related to each trip/event were gathered during and after the activity
and filed at the trip desk. This system allowed for the organization and
documentation of the work of the numerous “advance” volunteers used by this
office. The files for local events and domestic travel were interfiled in
chronological order. In general,
international trips, generating significantly larger sets of records, were
separated. The trip desk provided a method to accumulate all related material.
The trip desk generated books for use by trip participants. These trip books contain hour-by-hour
schedules, travel details, scheduled events, participant lists, and background
information. Some of the activities related to a particular trip could include:
a site survey done prior to this trip, a pre-advance trip for establishing
plans, the actual trip including departure and return, and in some cases,
additional pre-advance trips, termed special missions, to deal with specific
issues regarding pending meetings. These
special missions were most often done for US/Soviet Union Summits.
The office has been arranged in 9 series:
Series I: Administration
Series II: Events
Series III: Domestic Trips
Series IV: Summits of Industrialized Nations
Series V: US/
Series VI: International Trips
Series VII: Cancelled Events and Trips
Series VIII: Site Surveys
