It contains news wire stories, media summaries, press releases, transcripts of press briefings, internal White House correspondence, and a collection of "Yesterday's Mail," which is a group of bundled electronic messages submitted by the public to the White House. Scope and Content Note The materials in FOIA 2019-0150-F are a selective body of documents responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related material. The researcher requested electronic records using the search term “trilateral commission.” This search yielded results regarding the Trilateral Commission, a nongovernmental “discussion group” founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller, as well as any instance that the phrase “trilateral commission” was used to describe cooperation between country governments. David Rockefeller received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998 for his philanthropic work and press releases regarding that honor are included in the material. Materials responsive to this FOIA request include news wire stories, media summaries, press releases, transcripts of press briefings, a small amount of correspondence regarding scheduling and phone messages, and a substantial amount of correspondence from the public, most of which was collected under “Yesterday’s Mail,” a service that bundled electronic messages submitted to the White House via email or the White House website. Record Type Electronic Records System of Arrangement Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in these collection areas— Clinton Presidential Records: ARMS Emails and Clinton Presidential Records: TRP Emails. 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 six 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, and Default for emails not associated with an office. Records responsive to this request came from the OPD, WHO, CEA, and Default buckets. The OPD bucket contains email created or received by an individual with an Office of Policy Development (OPD) White House user account. The WHO bucket contains email created or received by individual with an Executive Office of the President White House user account not identified as CEA, NPR, or OPD. The CEA bucket contains email created or received by an individual with a Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) White House user account. The Default bucket contains email created or received by unknown or un-recognized email accounts. Email found within the Default bucket often includes email created or received by offices or individuals outside the Executive Office of the President. ARMS emails are arranged by topic, there-under by bucket, and there-under chronologically by creation date. The Tape Restoration Project (TRP) is a database consisting of restored emails from the Automated Records Management System (ARMS) from July 1994 through June of 2000. The TRP is a database that contains email records of the Executive Office of the President. This system maintained unclassified Presidential record email. The TRP database is comprised of the same six sub-series of email as in ARMS. TRP emails are arranged by topic, there-under by bucket, and there-under chronologically by creation date.
