SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

This FOIA request contains material related to debates in which George Bush participated during the 1984, 1988, and 1992 presidential campaigns. Preparation files, such as memoranda, debate cards, and issue analysis, are most prominent in Bush vice presidential records and deal mainly with the 1988 Republican primaries and general election debates. Planning materials for the 1984 vice presidential debate with Geraldine Ferraro is also present in these files. However, there are very few substantive records concerning the 1992 debates with candidates Bill Clinton and Ross Perot. More prominent in 1992 are routine records, such as those pertaining to the First Lady's travel and event schedules for the St. Louis, Richmond, and East Lansing presidential debates.

Correspondence files concerning the 1992 debates are also limited, but they are voluminous for the 1984 and 1988 debates. This includes thousands of pages of mail received by Vice President Bush about his debate with Ferraro in Philadelphia. These letters refer to the debate as well as to statements made by Barbara Bush, George Bush, and Bush's Press Secretary Peter Teeley about Ferraro. There are also numerous files of incoming and outgoing correspondence related to 1988 presidential primary and general election debates. However, because this correspondence concerns activities outside the statutory or ceremonial duties of the vice president or president, it has been determined that all letters on these subjects are personal rather than vice presidential records and are not available for review at this time. Also, all memoranda, debate cards, and preparation material concerning candidate Bush have been closed as personal. The material that remains open and available for research includes debate transcripts, news clippings, publications, and scheduling and advance information for planning the travel of George and Barbara Bush.

Please note that a "*" indicates that a collection is entirely processed and open. A more detailed description of the materials is available in the finding aid for the office or category.

A "**" indicates files or documents that were incidentally processed as part of this FOIA request.
