SUBJECT Storage of NPIC Models at Agency
Records Center
1. Your request to store some NPIC models in
the Agency Records Center has been studied here and
the extent of the problem in other components was
discussed with the Agency Records Management Board.
The scope of the problem Agencywide was reviewed,
the relationship of the models to records was studied,
and availability of secure storage and transportation
facilities were considered.
2. The CIA Records Officer recommended to me
that the models be analyzed as Agency records and
included in the Records Control Schedules for temporary
storage in the Records Center basement. He found
the models have a bulk and unorthodox sizes that pre-
clude their being stored on the Center shelves with
the boxes of records and that no other space is avail-
able in the Records Center. He proposed that during
their temporary storage they be reviewed by representa-
tives of his Staff and the Historical Staff to identify
those of historical significance and continuing value
deserving permanent retention as Agency Archives. He
discussed his position and plan with your Records
Officer who visited the Center with your Security
Officer and examined the site. They found the storage
facilities acceptable with minor alterations for
security purposes. They also prefer to have NPIC
transport the models because of security.
3. The Records Management Board met on 30 March
and discussed the question. They received a briefing
on NPIC models. They found from their inquiries that
no other components have a similar storage requirement
at present but that they saw an eventual need for a
program to preserve various Agency artifacts. They
felt that storage in the Logistics Warehouse at
was not appropriate for this type material.

4. The existing procedure for identifying and
scheduling Agency records for storage, retrieval,
and disposal can be applied to the subject NPIC
models. A limited amount of our temporary storage
space can be made available for three years. Other
arrangements will have to be made for those identified
for permanent retention. Eventually the temporary
models will be returned to NPIC for dismanteling and
disposal since they can not be incinerated with the
other records. If you have no objection, I shall
instruct the Agency Records Officer to proceed
with the proposed scheduling and storage of your
models to the extent the identified space will
accommodate them.
