MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief of Support Services Staff
SUBJECT : Federal Records Center, Suitland Maryland
1. Some time ago I requeste o document our plans for
the use of the Federal Records Center in Suit and, Maryland, as a storage
facility for NIS and certain other records. I also requested justification for
three additional positions which Lou felt would be required to man the new
facility. This was done in the two memoranda dated 25 May 1966 which are
attached.
2. We requested the three additional positions in the FY 1968 budget,
but these positions were eliminated in a subsequent Agenc review. I believe
the PPB representatives felt that a shift in personnel now[ to Suitland STAT
to handle the same records would, at least in part, meet this requirement.
They also felt that we might detail personnel to Suitland until exact require-
ments could be ascertained and justified.
3. In view of this, I believe we should present a new paper to DD/S
describing the current situation and suggesting alternative methods of handling
the NIS records. One alternative might be to delay use of the Suitland facility
and make another effort to obtain the required positions, this time in the
FY 1969 budget. In this regard, we should update estimates of available
STAT space or the next several years. This alternative might also raise
a question as to whether the space now reserved for us at Suitland would be
available to us at a later date.
4. The current Government-wide records management program may
have a bearing on this.
