Committee on the Records of Government

Overview
The Committee on the Records of Government was a privately sponsored and privately funded committee organized to identify and propose means by which governments at all levels might rid themselves of needless and wasteful records while ensuring the preservation of that fraction of the documents deserving to be kept. The committee concentrated on problems and solutions within the federal government, but the principles underlying the conclusions and recommendations could be adopted by individual states and localities. It produced a Report in March 1985.
