Records that were responsive to this FOIA request were found in these collection areas--Clinton Presidential Records: Worker and Visitor Entry System (WAVES). The United States Secret Service Presidential Protection Division maintained databases to monitor entry and access to White House offices. The Worker and Visitor Entry System Access Control Record (WAVES ACR) database is a log of entry and exit recorded at ACR posts within the White House and is arranged by name of visitor there-under by date. Records produced for this FOIA may contain data entry errors. Data entry errors occurred as a result of human error (ex. spelling, grammar, etc.) when entering data into the WAVES ACR system. The EXCEL spreadsheet containing responsive records are organized by the data entry field from which the information was copied. These fields are described below: Badge: WAVES ACR Badge number ACR Date: Date of Entry Time: Time of Entry or Exit Post: WAVES ACR Post Status: Entering or Exit Last Name: Last name of the individual that was entering or exiting WAVES ACR post First Name: First name of the individual that was entering or exiting WAVES ACR post Middle Name: Middle name of the individual that was entering or exiting WAVES ACR post Pass Type: WAVES ACR Pass Type ePass Type: WAVES ACR ePass Type No data was found for ePass Type for 1993-1994. It is possible that this field was not required and therefore was not entered into the WAVES ACR database.
