Steven Aftergood describes Presidential Policy Directives and discusses how and why they are not usually posted to the White House website — even when they are not classified and are available elsewhere.
- Presidential Directives Mostly Withheld by White House, by Steven Aftergood, Secrecy News (July 12, 2013).

But with few exceptions (PPD 14, PPD 19) most of these cannot be obtained from the White House.
