The materials in FOIA 2009-0528-F, Segment 2, are a selective body of documents responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials. This request is for records relating to the Republic of Korea (ROK), commonly called South Korea; and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), commonly called North Korea. The request was primarily related to U.S-South Korea summit talks and bilateral relations, North Korea’s nuclear programs, the advancement of U.S.-North Korea bilateral relations, the South Korean economic crisis in 1997, and U.S.-South Korea mutual defense agreements. Due to the comprehensive nature of the request this collection covers the majority of major U.S.-Korea relations during the Clinton Administration. For a discussion of Korean interrelations, topic background, and general history, please see the finding aid for Segment 1 of 2009-0528-F. Segment 2 covers material from the National Security Council files of Stanley Roth in Asian Affairs through Steven Aoki of Nonproliferation and Export Controls. Open documents include articles, briefing material, cables, drafts, letters, memos, notes, reports, routing slips, speech transcripts, staff summary sheets, and testimony. Topics span the entire eight years of the Clinton Administration and include the Agreed Framework of 1994, diplomacy, investigation of No Gun Ri (a Korean War incident), North Korean drought, humanitarian food aid, light water reactor negotiations, the 1994 helicopter intrusion incident, Team Spirit, Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KEDO), North Korea’s nuclear program, North Korean refugees, Korean War MIA (Missing in Action) remains, Korean reunification, and the Korean War Memorial. The majority of the records related to this FOIA case are closed for national security reasons.

Textual

Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in one collection area—Clinton Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files. White House Staff and Office Files were maintained at the folder level by staff members within their individual offices and documents all levels of administrative 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.

Collection is open to all researchers. Access to Clinton Presidential Records is governed by the Presidential Records Act (PRA) (44 USC Chapter 22, as amended) 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).

Staff Archivist, 2015. Previously restricted materials are added as they are released.
