* The Nixon Presidential Materials Staff, which administers the Nixon Presidential materials under the terms of the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act are part of NARA; the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace in Yorba Linda is in the process of becoming part of the NARA Presidential library system. In January 2004, Congress passed legislation that provided for the establishment of a federally-operated Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda. In March 2005, the Archivist of the United States and the Executive Director of the privately run Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace Foundation exchanged letters on the requirements that will allow the Nixon Library and Birthplace to become the twelfth federally-funded Presidential Library operated and staffed by the NARA by 2007. On October 16, 2006, Dr. Timothy Naftali began his tenure as the first federal director of the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace.[1][2]

** On December 22, 2006, the site selection committee for the George W. Bush Library Foundation announced that they had entered into "exclusive discussions" with Southern Methodist University; however, the final selection has not been announced, and great controversy surrounds the choice of SMU.[3]
