Dear Chairman Hatch:
Consistent with Jack Quinn's letter of yesterday, I am enclosing additional documents
responsive to your request of July 3, 1996. A production log is attached. We understand
these documents will be treated in accordance with the Protocol transmitted with Mark
Disler's August 26, 1996, letter to me. With the few exceptions noted in Mr. Quinn's letter,
we believe this production substantially completes our compliance with the Chairman's
request.
Our production includes additional documents responsive to requests (Q) and (R) of
the July 3, 1996, letter, which I understand you have expressed interest in receiving. As
agreed, we will provide a letter from the Office of Legal Counsel explaining the nature of
the remaining responsive material, which you have agreed we need not produce at this time.
Finally, I wish to make explicit several general rules we have followed in responding
to the July 3 request. We have not interpreted the request to call for draft or final
communications with your Committee and other Congressional committees regarding the
matters you are currently investigating or documents reflecting communications with or the
investigative activities of the Office of Independent Counsel. We have not provided internal
memoranda relating to proposed amendments to the Treasury-Postal appropriations bill
relating to the FBI files matter. We also have not included in our production publicly
available material such as press articles and hearing transcripts, unless it has been annotated.

Dear Senator Hatch,
I have your letter of September 4, 1996. I am grateful
for what I think was a productive meeting yesterday, undertaken
in good faith on the part of all involved. I am confident that a
continued willingness on the part of all involved to accommodate
both the legitimate oversight needs of the Senate and the
principles and interests essential to an effective presidency
will lead us to a successful resolution of the matters we
discussed.
Your letter fairly reflects our agreement with one,
hopefully minor, exception which I point out in order that we
avoid any detour in our commitment to cooperative dealings. As
our August 30th letter states, we have produced a substantial
portion of the documents requested in your letter of July 3. I
made clear yesterday that we would undertake to complete our
response as soon as possible, but that we could not commit to a
date certain. We do intend to produce additional documents
tomorrow, which should provide nearly all responsive material.
We have not yet received from the Secret Service the passholder
entry and exit logs you requested. We also have not completed
our review of files archived in the Office of Records Management
and of certain electronic records. Finally, we plan to undertake
certain additional measures to assure ourselves we have located
all responsive material. While these tasks may take some time,
we do not believe they are likely to yield many relevant
documents.
After our meeting yesterday, I twice attempted to reach
Manus Cooney in order to suggest he designate staff to meet with
Sally Paxton and Miriam Nemetz of my staff so that they could
describe these remaining tasks and your staff could identify its
priorities, if any. We remain willing to have such a meeting at
your staff's convenience.
The Honorable Orrin G. Hatch

Your letter fairly reflects our agreement with two, hopefully minor, exceptions which

First, as our August 30th letter states, we have produced a substantial portion of the

also plan to undertake certain additional measures to assure ourselves we have located all
responsive material. While these tasks may take some time, we do not believe they are
likely to yield many relevant documents.
Finally, we have a small number of responsive documents that contain sensitive,
privacy related information. As I stated yesterday, I would be happy to make these
documents available to you and the Ranking Member, Senator Biden, for an in camera
review.
After our meeting yesterday, I initiated efforts to arrange a meeting between your
staff and Sally Paxton and Miriam Nemetz of my staff so that the remaining document
production tasks and priorities, if any, could be identified. We remain willing to have such a
meeting at your staff's convenience.

BY TELECOPY AND HAND DELIVERY
Honorable Orrin G. Hatch
Chairman
Committee on the Judiciary
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Chairman Hatch:
This letter and the enclosed documents are in further response to your July 3,
1996, letter to Leon Panetta requesting information and documents relating to the FBI files
matter. A production log is attached. We understand these documents will be treated in
accordance with the Protocol transmitted with Mark Disler's August 26, 1996 letter to me.
We believe the enclosed documents, together with material previously
produced, constitute a substantial portion of the responsive documents in our possession.
Specifically, with respect to each of your enumerated requests, our response is as follows:
Paragraph (A) requests information regarding the staffing of the White House
Counsel's Office (WHCO) and the White House Office of Personnel Security (OPS). In
response, I attach (1) a list of all paid employees of the White House Counsel's Office from
January 20, 1993, to the present, including their titles and dates of service; (2) a list of paid
employees who have served in the White House Office of Personnel Security from January
20, 1993, to the present, including dates of service and salary information; and (3) a list of
interns who have served in the Office of Personnel Security from January 20, 1993, to the
present. These lists do not included detailees, who are employees of other agencies.
Paragraph (B) requests a listing of persons with authority to review FBI
background files. Under the revised procedures recently adopted by the White House, only
those White House employees authorized in writing by the Chief of Staff and Counsel to the
President, whose assigned duties require the review and processing of such information, may
review FBI background files. These individuals have access only to those categories of
background investigations that are necessary to perform their assigned duties. The following
individuals currently have such authority:
Hon. Orrin G. Hatch, Chairman
August 30, 1996
Page 2
Jack Quinn, Counsel to the President
Kathleen Wallman, Deputy Counsel to the President
Peter Erichsen, Associate Counsel
David B. Fein, Associate Counsel
Kathleen M. Whalen, Associate Counsel
Robert W. Schroeder, III, Special Assistant to the
Counsel
Clifford J. Mauton, Paralegal
Charles C. Easley, EOP Security Officer
Formerly, employees of the White House Counsel's Office, the OPS, and the
EOP Security Office with a legitimate need to do so in connection with their duties were
permitted to review FBI background investigation reports.
Paragraph (C) seeks information regarding security clearances granted by the
White House to individuals serving in the White House OPS. Charles Easley, EOP Security
Officer, has provided this information in his August 16, 1996 answers to the Committee's
interrogatories.
Paragraph (D) seeks memoranda to and/or from certain EOP officials
regarding specified subjects. We already have produced responsive documents and we are
producing additional responsive material today.
As understood in our July 11, 1996 meeting with Manus Cooney, with regard
to subparagraphs (i) through (iii), we are providing memoranda regarding the following: (i)
procedures for updating White House passes; (ii) security clearance procedures; (iii) the use
of FBI background files requested by or on behalf of the White House Office of Personnel
Security.
Paragraph (E) seeks records of Craig Livingstone's entrances to and exits from
the White House complex from May 1, 1996, to June 20, 1996. We previously have
produced these documents to the Committee.
Paragraph (F) seeks records of every occasion on which Craig Livingstone and
Anthony Marceca have been in the White House from January 20, 1993, to the present. We
have assembled, and are producing today, all Worker and Visitor Entry System (WAVES)
records reflecting entries by Messrs. Livingstone and Marceca (CGE 053478-533). To the
extent the request calls for retrieval of electronic passholder entry and exit records (as
distinct from WAVES records), we understand that, with respect to Craig Livingstone, you
are requesting only those records specified in Paragraph (E), which we already have
Hon. Orrin G. Hatch, Chairman
August 30, 1996
Page 3
produced to the Committee. We have undertaken to obtain passholder entry and exit records
for Anthony Marceca and will provide the information promptly on receiving it.
Paragraph (G) seeks all records of visitors to the White House to see Craig
Livingstone or Anthony Marceca from January 20, 1993, to the present. We have retrieved
the responsive information from the WAVES system and are providing it today (CGE
053478-533).
Paragraph (H) seeks phone logs, messages, or calendars for Craig Livingstone
or Anthony Marceca from January 20, 1993, to the present. The responsive telephone
messages are enclosed. We will provide pages from Mr. Livingstone's calendars early next
week. We have not located any calendars for Mr. Marceca.
Paragraph (I) seeks information regarding Mr. Livingstone's employment and
Mr. Marceca's detail. We already have provided documents responsive to your questions,
and we are providing additional responsive material today.
Paragraph (J) seeks a copy of any Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
between the White House or the Clinton/Gore transition team and the FBI or the Justice
Department regarding FBI background reports. We have included a copy of the MOU
between the Attorney General and the President-Elect regarding FBI background
investigations in today's production (S 021200-203).
Paragraph (K) seeks information regarding the creation of the list of 333
persons whose files were mistakenly requested by the White House. Lisa Wetzl, who
created the list, has responded to questions about the circumstances related to its preparation
in testimony before your Committee. We are including copies of the list itself in today's
production.
Paragraph (L) requests both general information regarding the archiving or
storage of documents from the Office of Personnel Security and specific information
regarding the archiving and storage of certain files. We are producing documents reflecting
transfer of the 333 files from the OPS to the White House Office of Records Management
(ORM) (CGE 053698-704) and from ORM to the FBI (CGE 53928-936). Documents
responsive to your request for records indicating when any of these files was retrieved from
ORM were included in the boxes of material transferred to the custody of the FBI. These
files were never transferred to the United States Archives.
In response to your requests regarding storage of material from the OPS with
ORM, we are producing indices of OPS files sent to the ORM for storage (S 021204-434,
Hon. Orrin G. Hatch, Chairman
August 30, 1996
Page 4
CGE 053698-704, and CGE 054276-88) Also enclosed are facility requests relating to filing
cabinets in the OPS (S 021435-40).
Paragraph (M) requests logs, check-out sheets, or similar documents
maintained for FBI background files stored in the OPS. We have located responsive material
and will make it available for your review at your convenience.
Paragraph (N) requests either documents or an explanation as to how certain
files were returned to the FBI once the White House determined they had been mistakenly
requested. On June 6, 1996, Craig Livingstone brought me an index of files that had been
requested as part of something he described as an OPS Update Project and subsequently
archived by Lisa Wetzl. After reviewing the list, I called the FBI and requested that it
retrieve all of the files identified on Ms. Wetzl's index, which the FBI did on that evening.
The FBI provided a receipt for these files, which we have produced to the Committee. We
did not handle these files or confirm whether each had been mistakenly requested before
turning all of them over to the custody of the FBI.
We returned additional files to the FBI on June 13, 1996. We are producing
documents explaining this transfer (CGE 53817-24).
Paragraph (O) seeks information regarding the compensation of attorneys for
Mr. Livingstone or Mr. Marceca. Mr. Livingstone's attorneys are not being paid by the
United States, and no commitment has been made to reimburse them. We have no
information regarding the compensation of counsel for Mr. Marceca.
Paragraph (P) seeks information regarding the Personal Data Statement
Questionnaire (PDS) distributed to White House employees. I am attaching a letter regarding
use of the PDS by the EOP that we recently sent to the House Committee on Government
Reform and Oversight and the Subcommittee on Government Service that I believe you will
find responsive to your questions. With that letter, we are providing several versions of the
PDS. Please let me know if you need additional information.
Paragraphs (Q) and (R) seek information regarding the President's assertion of
executive privilege with respect to documents subpoenaed by the House Committee on
Government Reform and Oversight. Our response is reflected in my correspondence with
Manus Cooney dated July 25, 1996, July 30, 1996, August 15, 1996, and August 21, 1996.
Paragraph (S) seeks information regarding a computer database maintained by
the White House. I understand you are holding this request in abeyance at this time.
Hon. Orrin G. Hatch, Chairman
August 30, 1996
Page 5
With regard to the general requests set forth in the paragraph introducing
specific requests (A) through (S), we are responding as follows. We are undertaking to
produce all documents responsive to requests numbered (1) through (4). We have treated
request (5) as essentially captured by paragraph (H); request (6) as defined by request (G);
request (7) as defined by requests (D) and (H); and request (9) as defined by request (B).
There are no documents responsive to request (8).
We are continuing to receive responses from EOP staff to our requests for
White House records you are seeking and we will produce any additional responsive material
promptly when we receive it. Our review of documents located in OPS, which has been
delayed by limitations on access placed on us by the Independent Counsel, is now nearly
complete. We also are continuing to review files of former employees, stored in ORM, that
may contain responsive material. This is a time-consuming process that we will complete as
quickly as we can.
With regard to the Committee's request that we reconstruct electronic mail
messages relating to this matter, we are awaiting Mr. Cooney's response to my letter of July
30, 1996, in which I requested that the Committee further define its request and set
priorities. Your request as currently stated, covering a 27 month period, would take several
months and cost several hundred thousand dollars. It may be useful in evaluating how you
might focus your e-mail request to know that we have learned that Anthony Marceca never
had an electronic mail account at the White House, and that Craig Livingstone did not have
such an account until May 12, 1994.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely yours,
Jone

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
July 30, 1996
BY HAND DELIVERY
The Honorable William F. Clinger, Jr.
Chairman
Committee on Government Reform and Oversight
2127 Rayburn House Office Building
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
The Honorable John L. Mica
Chairman
Subcommittee on Civil Service
Committee on Government Reform and Oversight
B371C Rayburn House Office Building
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20513
Dear Chairmen Clinger and Mica:
This letter responds to your letter of July 2, 1996,
regarding the Personal Data Statement Questionnaire (PDS)
distributed to White House employees.
The PDS is part of the standard packet of forms
distributed to prospective or new employees of the White House
Office, the Office of Policy Development, the Office of the Vice
President, and the Executive Residence. The packet also includes
instructions, the Questionnaire for National Security Positions
(SF-86), a memorandum of consent to an FBI background
investigation, and an IRS tax check waiver. Until recently, the
packet was distributed by the White House Office of Personnel
Security (OPS) ; it currently is distributed by the EOP Security
Office through the Office of Administration and various
administrative contacts. (As you may know, the functions of the
OPS were recently taken over by the EOP Security Office.)
All employees of these offices, including the Executive
Residence, are non-career employees appointed under Title 3 of
the United States Code, as opposed to Title 5 under which career
civil servants are appointed. The packet normally is provided to
new hires who have been offered employment contingent on a
determination of their suitability, which is based on review of
the forms and successful completion of an FBI background check.
The packet also has been distributed by the OPS to employees of
Hon. William F. Clinger, Jr.
Hon. John L. Mica
July 30, 1996
Page 2
the Offices listed above in connection with the required five-
year update of their FBI background investigations.
Until recently, the PDS forms were returned to the OPS
and reviewed by its Director. Currently, the forms are returned
to the EOP Security Office and are reviewed by the EOP Security
Officer. PDS forms also have been reviewed by attorneys in the
White House Counsel's Office. The purpose of the review is to
ensure the suitability of individuals selected for employment in
the White House.
The PDS also is distributed in connection with vetting
of non-career members of the Senior Executive Service (SES)
employed by Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), the
Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and the United
States Trade Representative (USTR). The completed PDS forms
collected by the ONDCP, OSTP, and USTR are reviewed by their
respective general counsel offices to determine suitability for
appointment of their non-career SES officials.
Attached at Tabs A through F are several versions of
the PDS form used during this Administration. The form at Tab A,
which has thirty-three questions, was the original version used
by the OPS. The form at Tab B, which has forty-three questions,
was used by the OPS beginnning in the latter half of 1995. The
form at Tab C, which has thirty-three questions, was used for a
short period of time by the OPS after the longer form had been in
use for some time; this form apparently was prepared erroneously
by an OPS employee using the older form as a model. The form at
Tab D is the form currently used by the EOP Security Office.
Finally, the forms at Tab E and F are, respectively, a former and
a current version of the PDS used in vetting non-career members
of the SES. Although other versions of the form differing in
non-substantive ways -- for example, with regard to routing
information or typeface -- may have been used, we believe the
forms attached fairly reflect the substance of the PDS's
distributed within the EOP during this Administration.
We have not discerned the precise time periods that
each version of the form was in use. To attempt to do so, we
would have to review the personnel security files of individual
employees hired at different times to determine from those
records, if possible, which PDS each received. This exercise,
which seems unwarranted because of the substantial similarity of
the PDS forms used throughout this Administration, is infeasible
at this time because of restrictions on access to the relevant
Hon. William F. Clinger, Jr.

records that we are currently observing at the request of the
Independent Counsel.
I hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely An yours,
Counsel to the President
