Senator Warren Bruce Rudman was appointed by President William Jefferson Clinton to the President’s
Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) on September 30, 1993. Rudman was appointed vice
chairman in December 21, 1995 and chairman on February 18, 1998. Rudman served on the PFIAB
until 2001.
While on the PFIAB, Rudman was selected as vice chairman of the Commission on the Roles and
Capabilities of the United States Intelligence Community. Rudman was chairman of the Special
Oversight Board for Department of Defense Investigations of Gulf War Chemical and Biological
Incidents in 1998. He was also chair of the PFIAB special investigation into the Department of Energy
practices and policies. The Board’s report, Science at its Best, Security at its Worst, was highly critical
of both the Department of Energy and the Clinton Administration. After leaving the PFIAB, Rudman

�co-chaired the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century. Along with Senator Gary Hart, the
commission released a report in March 2001, entitled Roadmap for National Security, in which they
called for a Department of Homeland Security. Rudman remains active in U.S. intelligence and security
issues as an advisory board member and co-chair of the Partnership for a Secure America. In 2002, he
co-authored the book, America—Still Unprepared, Still in Danger.
Warren Rudman is currently Of Counsel in the Washington, D.C. office of the law firm of Paul, Weiss,
Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. Rudman joined the firm in 1993 after representing New Hampshire
in the Senate from 1980 to 1993. Rudman, a centrist Republican, was approached by Clinton to be the
Secretary of the Treasury in 1993 but declined the offer. While a member of the Senate he was
chairman and vice chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee and served on the Senate Appropriations
Committee. In 1986, Rudman was selected to be vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee
investigating arms deals with Iran. In 1992, Rudman co-founded the Concord Coalition whose platform
is fiscal responsibility in government.
Rudman was born in Boston, MA in 1930. He graduated from Valley Forge Military School in 1948
and received a Bachelor of Science from Syracuse University in 1952. From 1952 to 1954 Rudman
served in the United States Army where he was a combat platoon leader in the Korean War. Rudman
returned to school following his service and received a Bachelor of Laws degree from Boston College
Law School in 1960. Rudman was in private practice from 1960 to 1970 when he was appointed
Attorney General of New Hampshire. He served six years as Attorney General before returning to
private practice.
Rudman was awarded with the Presidential Citizens Medal on January 8, 2001.
The President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) was created by President Dwight
Eisenhower in 1956. Executive Order 10656, signed February 6, 1956, created the President’s Board of
Consultants on Foreign Intelligence Activities. Eisenhower believed that this board of respected and
knowledgeable citizens could provide him with unbiased and candid appraisals of United States’
intelligence activities. President John Kennedy, by the signing of Executive Order 10938 on May 4,
1961, renamed the Board of Consultants, the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. Though
the name was changed, the board continued to operate in much the same fashion.
Executive Order 11460, signed by President Richard Nixon on March 20, 1969, again changed the name
of the PFIAB to the President’s Advisory Intelligence Board. President Jimmy Carter abolished the
board in March of 1977. Carter did however, retain the Intelligence Oversight Board. The IOB was
created by President Gerald Ford in 1976 following a post Watergate investigation by Congress into
potential illegal activities of the intelligence agencies. The IOB was tasked with reporting potential
illegal activities to the Department of Justice for review. As Ford told Congress in 1976, ―I believe [the
changes] will eliminate abuses and questionable activities on the part of the foreign intelligence agencies
while at the same time allowing them to get on with their vital work of gathering and assessing
information.‖
President Ronald Reagan modified the role of the IOB in 1981 and re-established the PFIAB in 1985 by
signing Executive Order 12537. President William Jefferson Clinton combined the IOB and the PFIAB,
making the IOB a committee rather than an independent organization. President George W. Bush
radically modified the role of both the IOB and the PFIAB following the creation of a Director of
National Intelligence. The newly named President’s Intelligence Advisory Board was designated to
oversee the intelligence collection activities of any Federal agency engaged in the collection of

�intelligence or the production of intelligence policy. President Barak Obama more clearly defined the
role of the PFIAB and strengthened the IOB with the passage of Executive Order 13516.
Under President Clinton the PFIAB had between eleven and twelve members, by law it could be no
more than sixteen, whose terms were established by the President. Members were chosen for their
independence, knowledge, and experience. The members of the President’s Intelligence Advisory
Board serve as unpaid observers of United States intelligence community. Much of their work is highly
secret in nature though Presidents have chosen on occasion to make the Board’s reports, or portions
thereof, public. The members of the Board are appointed by the President and the Director serves at the
leisure of the President.

e-mail records responsive to this FOIA originate in the following agencies: Office of Policy

Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files, Clinton Presidential Records: ARMS Emails,
Clinton Presidential Records: TRP Emails, and Clinton Presidential Records: NSC Cable, Email, and

�Office of Records Management and is a series of categories designated by a letter/number combination.
In addition, there are WHORM, WHORM Counsel, WHORM (CL), WHORM (OP), WHORM (Too
Late); WHORM (Various Offices); and WHORM (Alpha Project) series.
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 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.
The Tape Restoration Project (TRP) is a database consisting of restored emails from the Automated
Records Management System from July 1994 through June of 2000. The TRP is a database that
contains email records of the Executive Office of the President. This system maintained unclassified
Presidential record email. The TRP dataset is comprised of 6 sub-series of email records called
―Buckets.‖ The buckets include NPR, OPD, POTUS, WHO, CEA, and Default. TRP emails are
arranged chronologically by creation date.
