MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director-Comptroller
THROUGH : Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT : Semi-Annual Report of Records Management Board
1. This report is for your information only.
2. During the past six months the Records Board has addressed
itself to three principal areas: (a) Control of Records Storage Growth,
(b) Development of Retention Plans for Permanent Records, and (c)
Increased Use of Microfilm Systems.
3. In those areas the progress and problems are as follows:
a. Control of Records Storage Growth:
During this first six months of the-new Limited Storage
Policy all Directorates are within their projected
annual storage limits at the Records Center. Many
components have managed to reduce their net holdings.
In a related development to control records volumes
in the offices more stringent restraints have been
placed on requests for records equipment. Senior
Officers in each Directorate are monitoring this
effort.
b. Development of Retention Plans:
Component efforts continue toward completing the
identification of permanent records and to designate
the offices responsible for the permanent control of
those records (office of record).
Implementation of both the Storage Limitation Policy
and Record Retention Plans were the subjects considered
at the two-day Conference of Records Officers in
December. Several new proposals to implement the
plans were developed. We expect completion of Reten-
tion Plans in several components during the next six
months.
