Associate Counsel to the President
The FOIA applies only to records maintained by "agencies"
within the Executive Branch. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(3). The
Office of the President, including the President's immediate
personal staff and units in the Executive Office whose sole
function is to advise and assist the President, is not an
"agency" for the purposes of FOIA. Thus, the White House is not
an "agency" for the purposes of FOIA. Consequently, FOIA does
not establish a statutory right to the documents, if such
documents exist, that you have requested from the Office of the
President.
The White House Counsel's office has received your request
of January 18, 1995. Your request is based on the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552.
