SUBJECT Purge of Retired Office Records
1. The Executive Director-Comptroller has established the CIA Records
Management Board, chaired by the Agency Records Administration Officer
and comprised of senior Records Officers from each Directorate and the Office
25X1A of the Director. I have appointed as the DD/S Records Ad-
ministration Officer and the Support Directorate representative on the Records
Management Board. The Board is responsible to study records problems, seek
solutions, and coordinate proposed alternatives. The Board will develop modern
indexing, storage, and retrieval systems, and recommend improved techniques
to manage the creation, maintenance, and disposition of Agency records.
2. The Board will undertake as its first order of business a reduction in
the volume of retired office records at the Agency Records Center. To assist
in this purge each of you is requested to appoint responsible officers with
authority to review your Office's records stored at the Center in order to dis-
pose of all unnecessary materials as well as adopt procedural and technological
improvements to reduce the volume. Our objective is an overall reduction of
50%. I will expect a report by 10 September as to the initial actions taken and
plans being developed for your Office on this matter.
3. The responsibilities of the Board fall heavily on each Office. To assist
the Board and to carry out the records program responsibilities in each Office,
you are requested to designate at least one individual whose primary function
will be to serve as your Records Management Officer.
