Record Type Textual System of Arrangement Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in these collection areas—Clinton Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files. Staff and Office files were maintained at the folder level by staff members within their individual offices and document all levels of administration activity.

While this method maintains folder integrity, it frequently results in the incidental processing of documents that are not wholly responsive to the subject area.
