HANDLING OF DOCUMENTS STAPLED TOGETHER
1. Documents stapled together are being encountered with
increasing frequency, and there is some confusion as to whether they
are to be treated as one document or several.
2. If the material is an agenda with listed attachments for
discussion at a meeting, correspondence with listed or specifically
noted attachments or enclosures, or a report transmitting a bulkier
document, the material constitutes one document. In fact, any of
the above without the attachments is an incomplete document. (See
CRP 79-11.) In addition, entire folders or boxes in certain record
groups may be designated as single documents, such as the ase STAT
files. (See CRP 79-9.) El

. In all other cases, documents stapled together, even though
they concern the same subject, should be treated as separate documents,
and a data input form should be made out for each one. Documents
stapled together by the RMO for whatever reason should not be separated,
however. Transmittal forms or routing slips scattered throughout such
material are not permanent documents and should be removed unless they
contain substantive information, in which case they become part of the
documents to which they are attached.
