1. Any organizational element that creates, receives and maintains
records in the process of carrying out its assigned functions and
responsibilities normally becomes the office of record for documenting
such activities. It is an office that maintains official records for a
specified mission. Within our Agency, offices of record range from the
immediate Office of the Director and his Deputies down through those of
heads of offices and, in some cases, Chiefs of Divisions, Staffs and
even Branches.
2. The functions and responsibilities of organizational elements
are defined In broad terms by Agency regulations and more specifically
in internal issuances. Records Control Schedules prepared for these
organizational elements should describe certain files that document the
substantive functions assigned by these issuances.
3.. In order to identify and formally designate offices of record
within our Agency, I need the information called for in the attachment.
Your cooperation will be appreciated in this effort to improve our record
keeping practices. Please call on me for any assistance in this matter.
