MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Records Management Staff
VIA DDP/Records Management Officer
SUBJECT Disposition of OSS Records
1. We have reviewed the Preliminary Inventory of OSS Records
prepared by your office and the resulting disposition schedule is
submitted for your approval. Retention periods have been established
for those items indicated to be of temporary administrative value
with the exception of Item i-5, which is a part of the X-2 records
and therefore of permanent value.
2. Since the functions of the organizations that originally
had custody of the records have been published in unclassified form,
there is no objection to forwarding the Inventory to the National
Archives if necessary.
3. The established retention periods have been coordinated
with Agency components concerned and the pertinent memoranda are
attached for your files. It is requested that the memoranda not
be released by your office without the permission of this office.
