Mr. R. L. Bannerman
Deputy Director for Support
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D.C. 20505
Thank you for your letter of December 16 asking about the status of the
research program to determine the causes of microfilm blemishes.
Since our last progress report, the National Bureau of Standards has
completed its research and prepared a preliminary report of findings
and recommendations. On the basis of this report, the United States
of America Standards Institute has drafted proposed standards for
processing and storing archival microfilm so as to prevent the
blemishes. We anticipate that USASI will publish the standards in
about a year.
To enable agencies to undertake new microfilming programs, we are
developing GSA standards for archival microfilm which will permit the
disposal of permanent records. Unless legal or technical difficulties
arise, the Federal Property Management Regulations concerning standards
for archival microfilm should be available by March 1969.
If you need more information please contact Mr. Herbert E. Angel, Deputy
Archivist of the United States, telephone code 13, extension 33435.
Sincerely,
:JAMES B. RIiOADS
Archivist of the United States
