These RMS documents contain correspondence between President Clinton and members of Congress concerning terrorism and Pakistan. Also included in the RMS are White House press briefings and relevant news articles. Scope and Content Note The materials in FOIA 2007-1634-F are a selective body of documents responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials. From the chaos of civil war, following the Soviet Union’s withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989, emerged a group of fundamentalist Sunni Muslims known as the Taliban. A name was taken from the Arabic word “taleb,” which means student. The Taliban, which is mostly made up of Afghanistan Pashtun tribes, took control of Kabul in September 1996 and established the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Led by Mullah Mohammed Omar, the Taliban have become infamously known for their strict interpretation of Sharia Law and their severe methods of enforcement. Among the international community, the Taliban has been condemned particularly for their brutal repression of women. Nevertheless, the Taliban gained diplomatic recognition from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. While possessing the potential for significant development, Pakistan has been plagued by political instability, corruption and poverty. In effort to further its own influence in the region and perhaps limit Iranian influence to its east, Pakistan chose to support to the Taliban in Afghanistan. To its northwest, Pakistan has been interested in establishing control over the disputed territories of Kashmir currently held by India. Records to be open in this case consist primarily of correspondence between members of Congress and the President concerning the issue of terrorism and Pakistan, press briefings, and relevant news articles. The majority of these records related to this FOIA case are closed for national security reasons. Several records which may be responsive to this FOIA request were previously processed pursuant to FOIA requests 2006-0228-F and 2006-1700-F. Record Type Textual System of Arrangement Records that may be responsive to this FOIA request were found in these collection areas - Clinton Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files; Clinton Presidential Records: ARMS Emails, and Clinton Presidential Records: NSC Cable, Email, and Records Management Systems. 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. 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 database is comprised of seven sub-series of email records called "buckets." The buckets generally represent a specific White House office. The buckets are titled: NPR for National Performance Review, OPD for Office of Policy Development, POTUS for President of the United States, WHO for White House Office, CEA for Council of Economic Advisers, Default for emails not associated with an office, and NSC for National Security Council.
