Record Type Textual System of Arrangement Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in these collection areas—Clinton Presidential Records: White House Office of Records Management (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 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. 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 2025-0088-F includes WHORM records from these subject codes: FI004 Budget – Appropriations LE Legislation LE002 Vetoes and Repeals and Recissions PL005-02 Democratic Party PL005-04 Republican Party PU001-07 Clippings to the President WE001 Children (Welfare Services – Adoption – Abuse) WE011 Homeless.
