On a separate matter, Schulzinger praised the recently released Foreign Relations volume on President Johnson and the war in Vietnam. He noted that the volume contained transcripts of Johnson tapes and wondered whether these transcripts could be cited as an argument for expediting the release of the tapes. Smith said that this would not be possible as the release of the tapes was governed by old access guidelines. A special deal had been reached with the Johnson Library and the Nixon Project to obtain for the Advisory Committee and Foreign Relations compilers advance access to the tapes. Both the Johnson Library and the Nixon Project are releasing the tapes in chronological order. The Department of State had been able to make a special arrangement with the Nixon Project that allowed for the early release of some tape transcripts for use in Foreign Relations. The Johnson Library has opened tapes up through March 1966 and is currently processing tapes through April 1966. The library estimates that it has some 3 to 5 years of work remaining on the tapes project. The Nixon Project has already released tapes from February 1971-June 1972 and is planning to release tapes from July 1972-October 1972 in November 2003. The project estimates that the final tranche of tapes, covering November 1972-July 1973, should be released in 2006 or 2007. All of this means that when it comes to the Johnson and Nixon tapes, Foreign Relations is very much on the cutting edge. Schulzinger lamented that it would be a great teaching tool to play the tape and have students listen to it as they read the transcript published in Foreign Relations. Smith said that making the tapes available to the public was a very tricky process. 781b155fdc
