Nixon Gift Deed Conflicts Over Access Restrictions
An attached note to President Nixon’s 1969 tax return said the gift of vice presidential papers to the nation carried no restrictions, while the 1969 deed restricts who may view the documents and where stored. The White House disputes a recent letter claiming the papers remain Nixon’s private property and notes that restrictions were not viewed as material to the gift’s validity.
