"Evelyn Lincoln told me at luncheon that all LBJ's phone talks are taken down on tape. . . . What a treasure trove for the historian! and what a threat to the rational and uninhibited conduct of government!"    Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., Diary entry for March 25, 1964

Between 1940 and 1973, six American presidents from both political parties--FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, and Nixon--secretly recorded on tape just under 5,000 hours of their meetings and telephone conversations. The Miller Center's Presidential Recordings Program is a unique effort aimed at making these remarkable historical sources accessible.
