EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAT, NSC: SYSTEM FILES: Records, 1981-1989 – REAGAN LIBRARY COLLECTIONS

 

Parts or all of this collection or series of Presidential records are not currently processed or available for research.  For this collection, we do not have an inventory of all system numbers so this inventory contains System case files processed and open for research.  They may still contain some national security classified material which will be withdrawn from the case files.

 

If you are interested in submitting a FOIA request for access to any of the unprocessed records in this collection, please consult an archivist to identify case files relevant to your request.  You may contact our archival staff at 1-800-410-8354, outside the US at 1-805-577-4012, or email reagan.library@nara.gov

 

EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAT, NSC: SYSTEM FILES: Records, 1981-89

 

During the Reagan administration, the National Security Council used various tracking systems for documents (casefiles).  The overarching arrangement was the "system" files ranging from System I to System IV, which also included letter designations such as PA, IF, WH, SII, etc.  For your convenience we have dropped all these distinctions as they were used only for filing purposes at the NSC.  We list these casefiles by their system number only.  The material is arranged by year, with three numbering systems.  All system numbers begin with a two number designation for the year, followed by a 0xxxx, 4xxxx, or 9xxxx.   Within each numbering system the casefiles are roughly chronological.

 

The system files currently have only a classified microfiche index available.  Some parts of the microfiche have been processed in response to Freedom of Information requests.
