Patti >From: "Fredrick Armstrong" > >Ms. McDonald: > I have been out at a meeting with other state archivist concerning >national records issues and so busy upon my return yesterday that I was >unable to confirm your message. While I have given the article only a >cursory read, it is true as to the general intent. The filming of these >records, once arranged and indexed has been our goal since the issue >appeared on my screen last year. But everything except accidents and crisis >development takes time and and persistence to resolve.
