In the second Reagan administration, the White House Office of Records Management (WHORM) changed its filing classifications for letters from the public expressing problems finding housing or housing assistance.  Beginning in 1985, these letters were filed in the Alpha File by the individual correspondent’s last name.  Boxes 1 through 9 of this series primarily contain these letters from the public, while boxes 10 through 12 have relatively few letters of this type.
