of the material in this collection dates from Tuck’s time in the Office of the
Chief of Staff, with a small amount pertaining to his service in Legislative
Affairs. Since Tuck retained this Legislative Affairs material through his
entire time in the Chief of Staff office, the Reagan Library is maintaining it
with his Chief of Staff material.
Most
of this collection came to the Reagan Library as loose, unorganized papers. The
Library staff placed related loose materials together in folders, and arranged
the folders into one alphabetical sequence. Prominent topics include: antidrug
policy; the 1988-89 transition; the Federal budget; White House-Congressional relations;
the Presidential Citizens Medal and Presidential Medal of Freedom; the White
House Fellows program; the former Presidential yacht Sequoia; and a draft article on Howard Baker.
