Association to the National Partnership Council, as well as correspondence regarding a Presidential
memorandum reaffirming the E.O. in October 1999.
The White House Staff and Office Files also contains relevent materials. The researcher should note
that there is one responsive file housed the previously processed and released History of the Social
Security Administration Series, within the Administration History Project collection. George
Stephanopoulos’ file, in the Chief of Staff’s Office, contains correspondence regarding the alledged use
of Social Security Trust Fund dollars to pay for full-time union work under E.O. 12871. The
Presidential Personnel files contain records regarding a January 2000 admendment to the the E.O. In the
NSC Administration office, Marcia Dimel’s files contain material related to guidance given by the
Office of Personnel Management in 1993 on the implementation of E.O. 12871.
The NSC Cables, Emails, and Records Management Systems (RMS) also contains material responsive
to the FOIA. The NSC Emails contain one email regarding the continuance of the National Partnership
Council, established by E.O. 12871, as a Federal Advisory Committee until September 30, 1999.

originate in the Office of the White House (WHO), Office of Policy Development (OPD) and Default emails belonging to no specific agency. These e-mails consist primarily of press releases from the Office
of the Press Secretary and copies of memorandum from outisde the Executive office of the President.
Default e-mails are largely correspondence sent to the White House from labor relations groups. There
is also however a sizeable report from the Department of Defense and the National Aeronautic and
Space Administration in response to the President’s review directive.
System of Arrangement
Records that are 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: NSC Cables, Emails, and Records Management Systems
(RMS), and Clinton Presidential Records: Automated Records Management System [Email].
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.
White House Staff and Office Files were maintained at the folder level by staff members within their
individual offices and documents all levels of administrative activity.
White House Office of Records Management (WHORM) files are processed at the document level;
whereas 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 Records email. The
ARMS dataset is comprised of 6 sub-series of email records called ―Buckets.‖ The buckets include
