the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials.
The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) was established in 1989 to promote economic
integration around the Pacific Rim to help sustain economic growth through cooperation among
the member economies. The dynamic of APEC changed in 1993 when President Clinton invited
the leaders of member economies to Blake Island, Washington, instituting what was to become
the annual Leaders’ Meeting. For APEC 2000, held in Brunei, the focus was on the application
of information technology to business and government to promote economic growth and job
creation. Other stated goals for the meeting were to continue progress towards a new round of

�the World Trade Organization (WTO) trade talks, and to improve communities in terms of
enviornmental issues, worker safety, child labor, and job training.
Extensive preparations go into any meeting involving the heads of states and the APEC 2000
Leaders Meeting was no exception. White House Staff and Office Files records from the
Council of Economic Advisers contain background concerning negotiations that took place
directly following APEC 2000. From the National Economic Council the records discuss
negotiations and meetings concerning trade with Singapore prior to APEC 2000. Records from
the National Security Council (NSC) Press Office outline some of the logistics involved, provide
a list of scheduled events, and define the overall agenda of the meeting. These files also contain
numerous press releases made during APEC 2000. Records from the NSC’s Office of
International Economic Affairs contain reports and correspondence which provide background
information in terms of defining issues and updating the President and members of White House
staff on the status of ongoing negotiations within APEC and the path of the organization, as
established during previous meetings of senior officials. Documents from NSC Records
Management which were considered responsive to this FOIA were found in a briefing book,
referred to as a “trip book.” However, most of these documents have been closed for national
security reasons.
Records from the Automated Records Management System [Email] contained correspondence
concerning the lead up to APEC 2000 and press releases which ocurred during the meeting.
Most pertinent to this FOIA is an email, which pre-dates APEC 2000, concerning the bills
introduced in Congress to initiate formal free trade agreement consultations with Singapore.
Records from NSC Cables and NSC Emails, considered responsive to this FOIA, include
correspondence concerning the ground work by senior officials in developing an agenda and
setting goals for APEC 2000. The scope of information ranges from broad background
information concerning APEC to more narrowly focused discussion of Singapore and its
economic interaction with the U.S. and other APEC members.
The Joint Statement by President Clinton and Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong on a United States
- Singapore Free Trade Agreement was made November 16, 2000. The actual agreement was
signed by President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Goh on May 6, 2003, ratified by the
House of Representatives on June 24, 2003 and put in force January 1, 2004.
System of Arrangement
Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in these collection areas—Clinton
Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files; Clinton Presidential Records: ARMS
Emails; and Clinton Presidential Records: NSC Cables, Emails, and Records Management
System.
Staff and Office files were maintained at the folder level by staff members within their individual
offices and documents all levels of administration activity.
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.
The Automated Records Management System (ARMS) is a database that contains email records
of the Executive Office of the President. This system maintained unclassified Presidential email.
The ARMS dataset is comprised of 6 sub-series of email records called “Buckets.” The buckets
include NPR, OPD, POTUS, WHO, CEA, and Default. ARMS emails are arranged
chronologically by creation date.
