FROM Chief, Historical Staff
SUBJECT Quarterly Progress Report on Records Purge
A. General. At the request of the Records Management
Board, the H torical Staff on 25 September compiled an
advisory paper, "Historical Documents: A Checklist," which
was subsequently discussed and circulated, on 20 December 1968,
in the Board's series of guidance sheets.
B. Historical Staff Holdings Reduced by 50%. The total
bulk of the Staff's holdings at the Archives and Records Center
has been reduced by exactly 50%, from 20 cubic feet to 10 feet,
in accordance with plan outlined in memorandum of 12 September,
as follows:
1. 4 feet of DCI/ER reports files (job 66-600)
were transferred back to DCI/ER control.
6
2. .1e feet of ORE and ICAPS files, 1946-50
(jobs 64-655, 656, and 657), which had been
deposited with the Historical Staff during the
Agency reorganizations of 1951-53, were transferred
to the control of the A/RC for screening, discard
of surplus duplicates, integration into centrally
established files at A/RC, and future servicing.
Based on a sample inspection conducted by A/RC and
Historical Staff personnel on 23 September, it was
evident that almost all the items were duplicates,
and it was mutually agreed that A/RC would under-
take the necessary item-by-item screening and dis-
card the surplus duplicates, without further
review by the Historical Staff.
