MEMORANDUM FOR: CIA Records Management Officer
ATTENTION:
Room 609, 1016 - 16th St.
SUBJECT: Denazification Records, Kansas City Federal
Records Center
REFERENCE: Memo, GAO Asst Archivist to CIA Records Mgmt.
Officer, 10 October 1960
1. The Biographic Register has a vital interest in subject
records and is exploiting them on a continuing basis- trans-
mitting name check requests to the Federal Records Center at Kansas
City at the rate of approximately 100 names per month. At this
rate, however, it is obvious that the Denazification Records could
not be fully exploited within the foreseeable future. The only
practical and immediate full exploitation of the records would
require a physical review of the files, retention of those portions
which are of interest and the destruction of rejected portions.
This office would be willing to supply the personnel, on a TDY
basis, to undertake the operation.
2. Such an exploitation could be accomplished in two stages.
A team would be sent to the Center to make an initial selection
of those boxes containing the most usable material and mark them
for shipment to Washington. Thiscould eliminate approximately
two-thirds of the file. The second stage would be a fine screen-
ing of the material here at headquarters, during which time it
would be necessary to temporarily store approximately 1500
unclassified boxes. During a previous conversation with
he indicated it would be possible to store them at
3. If the Kansas City Federal Records Center is holding the
file until 1 January 1963 because of BR interest, and if storage
space would still be available for the selected file
portions specified in para 2 above, is office would be willing
to -undertake the TDY screening operation early in 1961. It is

emphasized, however, that current operational commitments and
space limitations in North Building preclude any large-scale
handling of material from We could, however, begin
screening the material immediately after transferring to the
