Researchers should consult the archivist about related material. This FOIA case consists of electronic mail messages concerning political consultant Dick Morris. Dick Morris served as a political consultant for Bill Clinton as early as 1978. President Clinton fired Morris after winning the Arkansas Governorship, but after losing his bid for a second term to Frank White, Clinton called on Morris to win back the position in 1982. Though Morris was not involved in Clinton’s 1992 campaign, President Clinton called on Morris following the 1994 “Republican sweep of both houses of Congress.1 ” Morris was widely credited with coining the term for the Clinton Gore 96 election strategy, “Triangulation.” Triangulation placed President Clinton in the center, above both the Republican Party and Democrat Party concerning political issues. Dick Morris resigned from the White House in August of 1996. 1 Peter B. Levy, Encyclopedia of the Clinton Presidency (Westport Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 2002) 250.
