Clinton Presidential Library
1200 President Clinton Avenue
Little Rock, AR 72201
Inventory for FOIA Request 2006-0498-F
Records concerning Jean Houston
Extent
5 folders, approximately 20 pages
Access
Collection is open to all researchers. Access to Clinton Presidential Records is governed by the
Presidential Records Act (PRA) (44 USC 22) and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 USC 552
as amended) and therefore records may be restricted in whole or in part in accordance with legal
exemptions.
Copyright
Documents in this collection that were prepared by officials of the United States government as part of
their official duties are in the public domain. Researchers are advised to consult the copyright law of the
United States (Title 17, USC) which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of
copyrighted material.
Provenance
Official records of William Jefferson Clinton’s presidency are housed at the Clinton Presidential Library
and administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the provisions of
the Presidential Records Act (PRA).
Processed by
Staff Archivist, 2008. Previously restricted materials are added as they are released.
Scope and Content
The materials in FOIA 2006-0498-F are a selective, not necessarily all inclusive, body of documents
responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials.
FOIA request 2006-0498-F consists of correspondence, press releases, a statement, a memo, and a news
clipping related to Jean Houston. Dr. Jean Houston is a prolific author and one of the principal founders
of both “The Foundation for Mind Research” and “The Human Potential Movement.” The majority of
the material consists of the Office of the First Lady responding to Bob Woodward’s book “The Choice”
which portrays Jean Houston as Hillary Clinton’s “spiritual advisor.” However, Mrs. Clinton states that
Dr. Houston is not her “spiritual advisor,” but rather just one of many individuals who provide insight
and information to her regarding a variety of issues. In addition, there are two letters written by Dr.
Houston to President Clinton regarding millennium computer problems and Japanese negotiation
techniques.

�System of Arrangement
Records that were responsive to this FOIA request were found in two collection areas - Clinton
Presidential Records: WHORM Subject File and Clinton Presidential Records: White House Staff and
Office Files. As policy, Staff and Office files are processed at the folder level, that is, individual
documents are not selected and removed from a folder for processing. While this method maintains
folder integrity, it frequently results in the incidental processing of documents that are not wholly
responsive to the subject area. WHORM Subject and WHORM Alpha files are processed at the
document level.
The WHORM Subject file was compiled by the White House Office of Records Management and is a
series of categories designated by a letter/number combination. A complete listing of the categories
with detailed descriptions is provided in our research room.
The following is a list of documents and folders processed in response to FOIA 2006-0498-F:
