1. If the records were scheduled correctly, there would be no need to
keep them (hence no "benefit") after their retention period has passed.

2. As long as the records exist, there are risks to keeping them no
matter where they reside or who "owns" them.

Part of the thinking was that records would be maintained according to
the retention schedule and in full compliance with all laws. Once the
retention schedule has been met the records are disposed of to a third
party. This third party would be outside the jurisdiction of the US. It
would be able to do work based on the records that it would now own. No
records would need to be destroyed and would not be subject to the laws
of the United States. The organization could then have the benefit of
the records continued existence without the risks associated with
keeping them.
