=MEMORANDUM F`OR: DD/S Records Administration Officer
Purge of Retired Office Records
REFERENCE : Memo fr DD/S dtd 19 Aug 68, same subject
1. This memorandum is a status report on progress made to reduce
the volume of OTR records stored at the Agency Records Center. After
ascertaining that OTR material occupies only 606 cubic feet of space at
the Records Center, we examined OTR records which identify the stored
records job number. Certain records holdings, consisting of multiple
copies raining course documents which have been stored at the Records
Center a convenience, are t'_ firgt to be earmarked for destruction.
We have .ready authorized des-.-action of 128 cubic feet of material and
have ide ified an additional 29 cubic feet of material for transfer to the
Ilistor I Collection. A few items have been recalled from the Records
Cente - or further examination. In summary, we have already reduced
OTR holdings by about 26%.
2. In the immediate future we plan to conduct a physical review of
the Records Center and of at least some of the material prior to affirm-
ing its retention or authorizing destruction. We shall also review each
of our Records Control Schedules with a particular emphasis on those
items which are now coded for indefinite retention. We feel confident
that these reviews will result in a further substantial reduction of our
holdings at the Records Center.
