After Stephen Breyer’s elevation to the United States Supreme Court, President Clinton nominated Sandra L. Lynch to replace his seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in January 1995. Lynch’s nomination was confirmed by the Senate in March of 1995. Lynch became Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in 2008. This collection contains forms, letters, and resumes concerning Lynch’s professional career. The collection also contains materials authored and co-authored by Lynch. The majority of the records produced for this FOIA were from personnel files. Thus many closures relate to personal privacy.

Textual

Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in these collection areas – Clinton Presidential Records: White House Office of Records Management (WHORM) Alpha Files, Clinton Presidential Records: WHORM Subject Files, and Clinton Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files. 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 2013-0670-F includes WHORM records from these subject codes: FG006-04 Counsel to the President.

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.

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).
