Chief, Records Management Division
SUBJECT: GAO Requirements for Information re Systematic Review
for Declassification.
REFERENCE: CRD Memo 7 January 1980
In response to GAO's question concerning the status of the Agency's
records control schedules, they should be informed that the Agency does
have approved records control schedules that do identify permanent and
temporary records, but that at this time we are unable to provide a
percentage breakdown. As discussed with you, this information will be
available after the headquarters records have been reviewed and the records
control schedules updated. As of 30 September 1979, Agency records totaled
cubic feet, h at headquarters and at the Agency Archives
and Records Center. rchives and Records Center an identify 35,469
cubic feet as being permanent record deposits. This figure is subject
to revision as the records continue to be reviewed. The total amount of
permanent records held at headquarters is not known; however, a government-
wide rule of thumb currently used is that no more than 5% of records are
of permanent value. We feel this rule could be applied to the headquarters
holdings of the DCI area and DDA but a higher percentage would apply to
the DDO, DDS&T, and NFAC headquarters records. Attached is a breakdown
of total Agency records volume.
