Formerly a staffer on the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Galbraith served as the U.S. Ambassador to Croatia from 1993 to 1998. He was a co-mediator of the 1995 Erdut Agreement that brought the Croatian War of Independence to a peaceful resolution. Following his service in Croatia, Ambassador Galbraith went on to participate in the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor from 2000 to 2001 and was the United Nations Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan in 2009. After returning to the United States, he served in the Vermont State Senate from 2011 to 2015. Ambassador Galbraith is on the Board of the Directors of the Center for Arm Control and Non-Proliferation, a part of the Council for a Livable World. The records processed in response to this FOIA case consist of materials that either mention Ambassador Galbraith or were authored by him. The ARMS email correspondence includes press clippings as well as an email that discusses using the example of his efforts in Croatia to create an effective peacekeeping force in Kosovo. The NSC Cables contain a 1996 cable from Ambassador Galbraith that details comments made by Croatian foreign minister Mate Granic regarding succession issues in the former Yugoslavia. In the NSC Emails, there is a copy of press guidance that mentions the Ambassador in the context of the Administration’s Bosnia policy as it related to the nomination of Anthony Lake as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Lastly, the NSC Records Management System files contain a 1996 letter from United States Ambassador to Austria Swanee Hunt to President Clinton following a visit to the former Yugoslavia which praises the efforts of Peter Galbraith and Jacques Klein in that region. Record Type Textual System of Arrangement Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in these collection areas—Clinton Presidential Records: ARMS Emails and Clinton Presidential Records: NSC Cable, Email, and Records Management Systems. The Automated Records Management System (ARMS) was a database that contained email records of the Executive Office of the President. This system held, and allowed access to, unclassified Presidential email. The ARMS database was comprised of seven sub-series of email records called "buckets." The buckets generally represented a specific White House office. The buckets were titled: NPR for National Performance Review, NSC for National Security Council, OPD for Office of Policy Development, POTUS for President of the United States, WHO for White House Office, CEA for Council of Economic Advisers, and Default for emails not associated with an office. In 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration transferred the majority of Clinton ARMS and TRP records to a records management and access system called ERA. This changed the processing of ARMS and TRP records. For technical reasons, however, NSC emails remained in their own bucket. NSC ARMS emails are arranged by topic, there-under by bucket, and there-under chronologically by creation date. Access Collection is open to all researchers.
