steve as i read the entire as not been changed only that a decision
was made to keep the paper records for 90 days, since the electronic
format is the official record. Management as I interpreted decided
that they did  not need to retain paper the same length of time as the
electronic.

Now if they had said that the overall retention was 90 days ie
applying to both electronic and digital then you would be correct
