Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in two collections—Clinton Presidential Records: Electronic Daily Diary; and Clinton Presidential Records: Worker and Visitor Entry System (WAVES). The White House Diary System (Electronic Daily Diary) logs the President’s daily activities and events with participants. Each event is recorded and indexed with a description, a subject code, and its start and end time. In addition, each event log includes a participant list that notes each participant’s arrival and departure times. The United States Secret Service maintained two databases to monitor entry and access to White House offices: the Worker and Visitor Entry System (WAVES) and Access Control Records (ACR). The WAVES database was used to manage appointments for entry to White House offices. Visitors were issued temporary id badges to monitor their movement around White House offices. WAVES ACR is an access control system that was used to record entry and exit at entry points around White House offices using id/access badges

Access to Clinton Presidential Records is governed by the Presidential Records Act (PRA) (44 USC 2201) 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.
