Reading Room Document
Provision of Transportation and Other Services to Former Presidents and Vice Presidents
The document discusses the provision of transportation and other services to former Presidents and Vice Presidents, particularly in relation to Secret Service protection. It concludes that transportation and limited use of Government employees may be provided to all former Presidents during their lifetime and to former Vice President Rockefeller until July 20, 1977, if directly connected with Secret Service protection. The questions presented for review include the determination of whether transportation and services are required for the protection of former Presidents and Vice Presidents, and the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of the Secret Service to grant specific requests on a case-by-case basis.
