Friedman was appointed to the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) in 1999. A considerable amount of this collection is from personnel files of Friedman, nearly all of which are closed for personal privacy. Scope and Content Note 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. Record Type Textual 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.
