Federal agency record management programs. In addition, he will discuss two 
recently issued NARA Bulletins, one on Records Management Implications of Cloud

Finally, he will provide some background on how NARA is implementing the 
President’s Open Government Directive and highlight NARA’s emerging presence on 
social media.
