Presidential Documents

With the change of administration, there is renewed interest in locating Presidential documents such as executive orders, proclamations, reorganization plans, signing statements and speeches. The Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents compiled by the Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Service, has been the traditional official publication of such material. As of January 29, 2009 - that publication has switched to an online only publication called the Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents.

Older material from 1993 - January, 29, 2009 may be found on GPO Access or from 1965 - 2008 on HeinOnline Find older print issues of the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents at federal depository libraries.
