Reports Management A paper has been prepared, on a proposed Agency Reports Management Program. RECORDS MAINTENANCE (Record.s Surveys, Systems Development, Equipment and;-Supplies) A. DDS 25X1A9A 1. A meeting was held. with Dr.O his deputy and. two secretaries to advise them on how they may mmprove the present Retirement files system. 2. Reviewed. a request for a Diebold. "Power file" unit in Medical, A&E testing, for storage of 5" x 8" card. records. Our survey 25X1A9A revealed. that a purge of these files was appropriate. Mr. 1 25X1A9A and. Mr. of the Med.ical Office agreed, to this purge that will result in the elimination of over 35% of the files and permit the use of much less costly equipment. This survey resulted in a cost avoidance of approximately 2,500. r an "Astromatic" f iti i o on s 3. Reviewed. and. approved, a requ 25X1A6A mechanized. file cabinet for Office of Logistics, Warehouse. This machine was needed. to accommodate the increase in files. They are presently using nine large "Powerfiles". We recommend.ed. the new "Astromatic" compact model because of its ability to afford. greater filing capacity in a smaller floor space area. 4. Conversion from file cabinets to shelf filing in the Office of Personnel/Insurance Branch has been completed.. This conversion was necessitated. because of floor space limitation and. need. for additional file cabinets to accommodate an anticipated increase in filing space. The procurement of shelving permits filing space for 122 cubic feet of records (28%), reduces floor space require- ments, 143 square feet (67%o), made files more readily accessible and. is consistent with the Presid.entts Moratorium on the purchase of file cabinets. B. DDI 1. 25X1A9A Meeting was held. with NPIC, to discuss a proposed. file system for the Management Information Systems files. Mr. reviewed. our recommend.ations and will keep us informed.

DDP/RID is still waiting for new rollers and. improved. tracks for their test installation of Fullspace.equipment. We are also waiting for a proposal from Dolin track file company. D. Miscellaneous 1. Several members of this staff plus many Records Officers attended. the Office Equipment show held. in conjunction with the GSA Symposium on Mechanizing the Information Process held. at the Shoreham Hotel. This exhibit was both interest- ing and, informative. 2. Forwarded. to the Records Center, for their review, brochure on a new product for storing, shipping and retrieving tape reels. This product is mad.e of strong, corrugated board. manufactured. with special waterproof glue and as they can be stacked. one on the other for 7 to 10 high -- no shelving 25X1A9A is required. Mr. II reviewed this and. felt that the removal of shelving, to make room for this type box, would. reduce the flexibility in use of present shelving. VITAL RECORDS (Storage of Data for Emergency or to Reconstitute Destroyed. Offices) A. Scheduling Revised Vital Records Deposit Schedules were received., reviewed. and. approved. for DDS, Office of Security and. DCI/Office of Planning, Programming and Budgeting. B. Deposits This quarter 237 cubic feet of current Vital Record.s were received. at the Relocation Site and 130 cubic feet were d.estroy- ed, or transferrred. from the Records center. Discussions have been held. with Records Officers whose offices are depositing records through a media that will require special type equipment; tapes, cartridge type microfilm, NPIC type film and. map negatives. These discussions indicate that our present emergency equipment, at relocation, is not commensurate with the emergency requirements. The Agency's Emergency Planning Officer has been made aware of this current Inadequacy.
