Clinton Presidential Library
1200 President Clinton Avenue
Little Rock, AR 72201
Inventory for FOIA Request 2006-1009-F
Records on Stephen Friedman, President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board Member
Extent
13 folders, approximately 275 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, 2008. Previously restricted materials are added as they are released.
Scope and Content
The materials in FOIA 2006-1009-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 2006-1009-F consists of memoranda, press releases, forms, correspondence, articles,
cables, and emails concerning Stephen Friedman. A Republican, Friedman was appointed to the
President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) by President Clinton in 1999. He became
Chairman of PFIAB in 2005 during the Administration of George W. Bush. A sizable portion of this
FOIA is composed of the personnel files of Stephen Friedman. Nearly all of these records were closed
for reasons of personal privacy. In short, Friedman’s service as a member of PFIAB receives very little
attention in the documents deemed to be responsive.
System of Arrangement
Records that were responsive to this FOIA request were found in four collection areas—Clinton
Presidential Records: WHORM Subject Files, Clinton Presidential Records: White House Staff and

�Office Files, Clinton Presidential Records: Automated Records Management System (ARMS) Emails,
and Clinton Presidential Records: NSC, Cable, Email, and Records Management Systems. 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 Automated Records Management System (ARMS) is a database that contains email records of the
Executive Office of the President. This system maintained unclassified Presidential Records 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.
