REPORT BY THE U.S.



General Accounting Office


       Improvements Are Needed In

       The Management Of The National

       Archives Preservation And

       Trust Fund Activities


       The National Archives and Records Service has made little
       headway in preserving its 3 billion textual records because of
fo     the high costs of repair. Microfilming these records may be a
       viable alternative. Funds for preserving archival records have
       not been used effectively and must be deobligated. In add-
       ition, Archives facilities do not meet its environmental stand-
       ards for storing historical records.


Legislation governing the National Archives Trust Fund is
broad, and Archives has applied the broadest interpreta-
tions. As a result, business-type activities are included in
the trust fund. The cost accounting system for the trust
fund is not adequate for the types of activitie  erformed.
Further, Archives has irprperly used the       rust Fund
Board's direct-hire authority and interchanged employees
an                     opriated activities without the
required approval of the Office of Personnel Management.
