MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary of the Management
Committee
SUBJECT: Status Report of Information Control
Activities. July 1972 through January 1973
1. Your letter of 26 May 1972 to the Deputy Directors directed
high level management attention to the problems of information
processing in forms other than EDP media. It established the position
of Special Assistant for Information Control, who serves simultaneously
as Agency Records Management Officer and Agency Archivist. The
stated intent of this reorganization was to provide much needed vitality
to the Agency records management program while retaining the de-
centralized nature which has been characteristic of much of the Agency' s
management style. A Records Management Board was defined and
directed to establish an Agency-wide records management system.
The Special Assistant was designated Chairman of the Records Manage-
ment Board.
2. It was also the stated intent of the 26 May letter to establish
an archival program for the Agency. A historical program was in-
cluded in the letter but is administered by the Chief of the Historical
Staff who operates on a collateral basis with the Special Assistant.
The Special Assistant was named as the working level focal point for
the implementation of Executive Order 11652.
3. It seems appropriate to report on the activities in each of these
areas now that six months' performance has been completed. Attached
is a summary report.
