Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in these collection areas – Clinton Presidential Records: WHORM Alpha Files; Clinton Presidential Records: WHORM-Subject Files, and Clinton Presidential Records : NSC Cable, Email, and Records Management Systems. The White House Office of Records Management (WHORM) contains a variety of series created to organize and track documents and correspondence. The WHORM Alpha file was compiled by the White House Office of Records Management from 1993 – 1996 and is a series of documents arranged by name of persons, organizations, or events. 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. 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. FOIA 2006-1449-F includes WHORM records from these subject codes: CO Countries MA Medals – Awards ME Messages PP Presidential (Personal) PU Publications.
