Scope and Content Note The materials in FOIA 2014-0908-F are a selective body of documents responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials. The records include correspondence, emails, news articles, briefing materials and memos about the sale and settlement of Elk Hills Petroleum Reserve in 1998. The issues covered in this FOIA include discussion of the division of the proceeds of the sale. The records include legislative negotiations and draft legislation beginning in 1994 regarding the sale, public Presidential statements mentioning it, correspondence, weekly reports to the Staff Secretary from the Department of Treasury and the Department of Energy, and press coverage. The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations for Fiscal Year 1997 is included among responsive emails, because the sale of Elk Hills Reserve is briefly discussed within the report. Further, emailed drafts of Budget Reconciliation Reports are included among responsive files, because the sale of Elk Hills Reserve is briefly discussed within the reports. Record Type Textual System of Arrangement Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in these collection areas- Clinton Presidential Records: WHORM Subject Files, Clinton Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office, Clinton Presidential Records: Automated Records Management System, and Clinton Presidential Records: NSC Cables, Emails, and Records Management System. 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. In addition, there are WHORM, WHORM Counsel, WHORM (CL), WHORM (OP), WHORM (Too Late); WHORM (Various Offices); and WHORM (Alpha Project) series. 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. The Automated Records Management System (ARMS) is a database that contains email records of the Executive Office of the President. This system maintained unclassified Presidential email. The ARMS dataset is comprised of 7 sub-series of email records called “Buckets.” The buckets include NPR, OPD, POTUS, WHO, CEA, Default, and NSC. ARMS emails are arranged chronologically by creation date. FOIA 2014-0908-F includes WHORM records from these subject codes: ND009-03 Navy- Marine Bases NR006-01 Naval Petroleum Reserves.
