MEMORANDUM FOR: CIA Records Administration Officer
SUBJECT Information for Report to Colonel White
1. The following is in confirmation of information
given to you orally early last week, in response to your
request for information concerning:
a. Printouts of computer-prepared reports
originating in the DDI.
b. Computer Output Microfilm (COM) prepared in
lieu of printouts.
c. An account of DDI activity leading to the
establishment of "office of record" responsibility.
2. I ran a survey of each DDI component which revealed
a. CRS produces only one COM report every six
months, the AEGIS Index to Finished Intelligence.
This report is sent to Vital Records, where it is
kept for 18 months then deposited in Archives. The
Vital Record volume for this item is 2 cu. ft. and
remains constant. 25X1A
b. IRS has 6 cubic feet of IBM listings at
and is adding to the collection at the rate of 1 to 2
cubic feet every 2 years. The listings pertain to
the Joint Reconnaissance Committee Program for which
IRS is directly responsible to the DCI and the DDI.
These records are held with an "indefinite" disposition
instruction, in order to allow some time to determine
their useful operational life. There are no plans to
convert this small volume to COM.
c. No other DDI component has either print-outs
or COM on deposit at - and no such deposits are
comtemplated.

3. A meeting of all DDI Records Management Officers
was held on 24 September 1971, at which time the formu-
lation of a Permanent Retention Plan for the Intelligence
Directorate was discussed, and guidance in how to begin
work on such a plan was provided. The RMO's were asked
to submit first working drafts on their component plans
by 15 December 1971. I am not able to predict when the
Retention Plan for the DDI will be completed.
