401(k) Plans, IRAs [Individual Retirement Accounts], and Defined Contribution Retirement/Pensions - Collection Finding Aid

This collection consists of material dealing with retirement plans and pensions. It contains correspondence, memoranda, drafts, newspaper clippings, background materials, press releases, talking points, and lists. There are two groups of letters from President Clinton to members of the Senate urging them to support the “ERISA Enforcement Improvement Act” designed to protect the 401(k) plans of American workers and thanking them for backing legislation intended to expand the IRA so that it could be used for education costs without penalty. Records from the Automated Records Management System and the Tape Restoration Project include emails addressing the following topics: pension reform, pension protection, 401(k) plans, IRAs, and the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC).
