HANDLING OF CHRONO FILES
1. CRD has now had the opportunity to review a representative
assortment of Chrono files, and based on this experience certain simi-
larities are evident:
a. They are the chronological record of the operation of an
office and are therefore an integrated file.
b. Much of the material, although important to this type of
file, is of temporary nature.
c. That which is permanent is also found in subject files.
d. The small amount that is declassifiable would be meaningless
if released to the public.
2. Chrono files will, therefore, be treated as integrated collections
and reviewed on a folder-by-folder basis. Reviewers will, of course, have
to review the entire folder to decide on the appropriate overall classifi-
cation, but only one form 4023A will be filled out using 12" as the-type
of document and "Chrono file 1 Jan 52-31 Mar 52, Chief ORR" as the title.
The reviewer stamp and the appropriate classification will be placed on
the folder. The creation date will be the date of the most recent material
in the folder. The attached statement will be included in each folder.
Each document in the file will be stamped as follows:
THIS DOCUMENT IS PART OF AN INTEGRATED
FILE. IF SEPARATED FROM THE FILE IT MUST
BE SUBJECTED TO INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.
3. CRP 79-31, although rescinded with this issuance, remains part of
CRD's record to indicate how the first body of Ochrono files wasSTATSPEC
handled.
4. Records other than chrono files may also be handled under the
folder or case file concept specified herein when approved by the branch
chief concerned and Chief/CRD. STATINTL
