Subject: NARA seeks comment on draft Strategic Plan


NARA is updating our Strategic Plan, Ready Access to Essential Evidence:
The Strategic Plan of the National Archives and Records
Administration, 1997-2007 in compliance with the Government
Performance and Results Act. We are also updating it to assess new
conditions facing NARA today and to build on what we have learned through
implementing our current plan. We are asking customers and other
stakeholders to assess the changed Plan so that we can be sure the final
version reflects real concerns and meets real needs.

The draft plan is available on our web site at
http://www.nara.gov/vision/PlanUpdate.html.  Please send your comments on
the draft revised NARA Strategic Plan to
Vision@nara.gov by July 21, 2000.

We have updated our Strategic Plan to:

-   acknowledge new developments, such as our funding increases from the
Congress and the Administration, our focus on Targeted Assistance to
increase our records management help to Federal agencies, and our research
success in demonstrating the feasibility of an Electronic Records Archives

-   acknowledge those things that now are achievements rather than
objectives, such as designing re-encasements for the Charters of Freedom,
getting Federal Register publications online, and launching our reimbursable
records-center program

-   identify the current status of activities in which progress is underway,
such as meeting our space needs, improving service to veterans, and creating
an Internet-accessible catalog of all our holdings nationwide

-   remove references no longer relevant and substitute current information
for dated examples, statistics, and activities, such as the (increased)
volume of use of our web site offerings, and the (increased) volume and
kinds of electronic records with which we must deal

-   remove objectives that have proven infeasible or unnecessary, such as
the consolidation of our holdings in just a few facilities; and to add
objectives, such as providing archival quality space for military service
records that we recently determined should be kept permanently.

We look forward to your comments.
