These conversations total approximately 340 hours of listening time 
(338 h 47 m of tape opened and 342 h 13 m of tape reviewed). This is 
the fifteenth opening of Nixon White House tapes since 1980. There are 
no transcripts for these tapes. Tape subject logs, prepared by the

tape segments and a guide for the listener. There is a separate tape 
log entry for each conversation. Each tape log entry includes the names 
of participants; date and inclusive times of each conversation; 
location of the conversation; and an outline of the content of the 
conversation. Listening stations will be available on a first come, 
first served basis at the Library in Yorba Linda. The newly released 
tapes will also be available on August 21, 2013 on the Web at http://www.nixonlibrary.gov at 9:30 a.m. PDT/12:30 p.m. EDT. The Nixon Library 
reserves the right to limit listening time in response to heavy demand.
    2. Previously restricted textual materials. Volume: 31 cubic feet. 
A number of textual materials previously withheld from public access 
have been reviewed for release and/or declassified under the systematic 
declassification review provisions and under the mandatory review 
provisions of Executive Order 13526, the Freedom of Information Act (5 
U.S.C. Sec.  552), or in accordance with 36 CFR 1275.56 (Public Access 
regulations). The materials are from integral file segments for the

The President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board file; and RG87 and 
RG130.
