Reagan Library (National Archives) Resources

While attempting to research for this Wiki, it was discovered that the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library (National Archives) had posted PDFs of a large number of the radio scripts in June of 2024. This will be a great help to this wiki.
According to this PDF, they were part of the materials used by the Hannaford and Deaver PR firm and transferred to Reagan's Presidential campaign headquarters. "Box 14" of the collection contained these scripts.
ALL the scripts numbered "76", "78" and "79" (recorded and broadcast from 1976-1979), which are listed and linked in the PDF on pages 24 and 25. Missing are the scripts from 1975 and any numbers for "77" (which were likely scripts written after the conclusion of Reagan's 1976 campaign).
Links to these PDFs will follow (and are being integrated into the transcripts), along with any other resources that should appear through the Presidential Library.
