Subj: FW: NARA seeks comment on draft Strategic Plan Date: 6/30/00 9:50:46 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: [email protected] (Deborah Gaudier) FYI. Deborah ++++++ 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 [email protected] 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. Lori Lisowski Director, Policy and Planning Staff NARA "What one accepts, one teaches."
