Speeches for 1982 through February 1989 and for August-November 1, 1990, are individually foldered and listed; most are ribbon copies. Many are accompanied by memos and drafts from Perpich's speechwriters, particularly Patrice Vick and (beginning in August, 1986) Dave Cook. Speechwriter materials that do not correlate with separately foldered speeches are filed at the end of each month; they may represent speeches not given.
Speeches for March 1989 through July 1990 are foldered in groups by month. All are photocopies; location of the originals in unknown.
