They pertain to such matters as building assignment, maintenance, operation, and space management; accounting, office budget, and procurement contracts; office and personnel management; printing and reproduction; physical protection of the Vice President and offices; office supplies and equipment; and transportation and travel. They also include staff correspondence and memoranda; the Vice President's reading copies; and separate files of aides Norman Sherman and Eiler and Edna Ravnholt.
