Inventory for FOIA Request 2012-0597-F
Records related to U.S. District Court Judge Leonie Milhomme Brinkema
Extent
9 folders, approximately 421 pages
Access
Collection is open to all researchers. Access to Clinton Presidential Records is governed by the
Presidential Records Act (PRA) (44 USC, 2201) 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 (17 USC, 101) 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, 2012. Previously restricted materials are added as they are released.
Scope and Content
The materials in FOIA 2012-0597-F are a selective body of documents responsive to the topic of
the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials.
Leonie Milhomme Brinkema was a United States District Court Judge in the Eastern District of
Virginia. She was nominated by President Clinton on August 6, 1993 and confirmed by the US
Senate on October 18, 1993.
The collection contains letters, memoranda, press releases, and resumes concerning the
nomination of Brinkema. The emails in ARMS are largely from listserv and mass mailings.
They include the announcement of her nomination and the schedule for her appearance before
the Senate. The remainder of the emails are articles reporting rulings that Brinkema made as a
District Court Judge. Most of these articles focus on the case of the ACLU v Loudoun Board of
Trustees which revolved around internet filters being used in public libraries.

�System of Arrangement
Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in these collection areas – Clinton
Presidential Records: White House Office of Records Management (WHORM) Subject Files,
Clinton Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files, and Clinton Presidential
Records: ARMS Emails.
The White House Office of Records Management (WHORM) contains a variety of series created
to organize and track documents and correspondence. 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.
Staff and Office files were maintained at the folder level by staff members within their individual
offices and document all levels of administration activity.
WHORM files are processed at the document level; whereas, 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 record
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.
FOIA 2012-0597-F includes WHORM records from these subject codes:
FG006-04
FG053
Counsel to the President
District Courts, U.S.
