Arrangement: by type of material.
The series contains the Index of Weekend Reading, Meeting Materials, Staff Memoranda, National Security Action Memoranda, State Department Follow up Reports and a few miscellaneous topics.
The Index of Weekend Papers are one-page comments on reports which were collected for the President's weekend reading. They are arranged chronologically. The Staff Memoranda are arranged alphabetically by National Security Council staff member's name. The National Security Action Memoranda are arranged numerically as issued. They are supported by periodic Department of State status reports on each NSAM.
The meeting material consists of Meetings with the President, Meeting Records of the National Security Council and its subgroups including some meeting minutes and background materials. Indexes have been created for most of the meetings (see the appendices).
