SUBJECT: Microfilming Records in the Agency Records Center
1.. In connection with our previous conversations on the
above subject, the following describes the situation in which we
need your advice.
2. There are now approximately 29,437 cubic feet of records
stored in the Records Center for which no final disposition action
has been established. The volume of this material for each major
component is as follows:
DCI 15
DDI 12,297
DDS 1,723
DDP 15,402
TOTAL 29,437
3. Specifically, the following questions must be answered
in deciding on the feasibility of microfilming this volume of
records.
a. Is the material suitable for microfilming?
b. What would it cost to microfilm?
c. Who would do the filming?
d. What would be the cost of retrieval in terms of
personnel and special equipment?
e. Where should the film be stored and serviced?
4+. I would appreciate having your answers to these questions
as soon as possible, and am prepared to assist as required in ex-
pediting survey of the situation. If it is determined
that these records should be filmed it will be necessary to secure
approval of the originating offices as well as National Archives or
