This collection consists of untranscribed audio recordings of interviews with departing White House staff. We have interviews for 204 White House staff members. Many notable staff members (e.g., James Baker, Michael Deaver, Edwin Meese, Fred Fielding) do not have an interview in this collection. For some people who left the Reagan White House staff and later returned, we have an exit interview from their first period of service only.

The interviews were conducted by the staff of the White House Office of Records Management and National Archives staff detailed to the White House. We do not always have a collection of records for the individuals interviewed.

Reference copies of open interviews are kept in the Research Room. They are contained in archives boxes in alphabetical order by the person interviewed. Please see the attendant for assistance with the listening equipment.

The interviews can be listened to and downloaded via the National Archives Catalog.
