Chief, Legislation Division, OGC
SUBJECT: S. 905, to Establish an Independent
National Archives and Records Administraiton
1. Attached for your information, review, and comment is a
copy of S. 905, the "National Archives and Records
Administration Act of 1983". This bill was introduced in the
97th Congress, but received no serious consideration. However,
this year the bill has been favorably reported out of the
Senate Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Civil Service, Post
Office, and General Services.
2. Subsection 2105(a) of the bill directs the Archivist to
prescribe whatever rules and procedures he feels are necessary
to carry out his functions, and the head of each federal agency
is directed to issue whatever orders and directives are
necessary to conform the agency's activities with the
Archivist's procedures. Please review this subsection closely
to determine whether this grant of authority could pose
problems for the Agency in the future. In addition, please
review carefully subsection 2105(f) concerning the furnishing
of information and data to the Archivist by federal agencies.
3. At the moment, the bill has not been set for
consideration by the full Governmental Affairs Committee.
However, if there are problems with the bill we should know as
soon as possible so that we can take the appropriate action.
Please relay your comments as soon as possible, in writing or
by telephone, to
Dis.pribution:
