5. Based upon the data in paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, the
estimated Agency Archives and Records Center film accessions
are projected as 11,087 cubic feet by the year 1980. These
estimates result from community established collection
programs which in turn show an intensity of activity peaking
in 1973-1974. A decrease in programming is projected for
1975 resulting in a lower but constant level of film pro-
duction. It is also pointed out, the film to be retired
to the Agency Archives and Records Center within the
above time frames consists of original negatives opera-
tional in content with extraneous and non-intelligence
material having been removed. These estimates also
include a 3-year retention period in NPIC before retirement
to the Agency Archives and Records Center.
