White House Transition Interviews

These White House transition interviews discuss the organization of the White House staff in the presidential administrations from Richard M. Nixon through William Jefferson Clinton. They also discuss the transitions between the presidential administrations, and the successes and lessons learned during these periods. This project is sustained by presidency scholars as a public service, and was originally funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts and associated with the American Enterprise Institute's initiative entitled Transition to Governing.
