�The Automated Records Management System (Email) contains correspondence from various White
House staff email accounts and email accounts from outside of the White House concerning the
Farewell Address. Email includes but is not limited to memorandum, notes, and speech drafts. More
specifically, the email includes speech drafts sent to or from Jeff Shesol.
System of Arrangement
Records that were responsive to this FOIA were found in two collection areas – Clinton Presidential
Records: Clinton Presidential Records: Staff and Office Files; and Clinton Presidential Records:
Automated Records Management System (ARMS) Email. 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.
White House 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. Individual documents are not selected and
removed from Staff and Office files 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.
