BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Program To Improve Federal

Records Management Practices

Should Be Funded By Direct

Appropriations






The National Archives and Records Service's
technical assistance program to help agencies
improve records management practices is funded
through reimbursements from agencies, not
through NARS appropriations. Because NARS
must obtain enough money to cover its staff
salaries, it places emphasis on obtaining agency
agreements to finance technical assistance proj-
ects. This limits its ability to establish priorities
and use its staff more effectively.

Providing direct appropriations for NARS staff
would allow the agency the flexibility it needs
to better fulfill its responsibilities for improv-
ing records management practices in the Fed-
eral Government and provide greater account-
ability to the Congress. NARS must also de-
velop realistic plans and priorities to achieve
this goal.
