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 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. 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. FOIA 2016-1158-F includes WHORM records from these subject codes: BE004-01 Business – Economics - National Economy – Cost of Living BE004-03 Business – Economics - National Economy – Product Data – GDP (Gross Domestic Product) LA002 Labor - Management Relations (Non-Government) – Conditions – Employment - Unemployment Access Collection is open to all researchers.
