The IRS's stunning and shameful record-keeping hypocrisy - The Week The IRS claim raised eyebrows <http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2014/06/16/Did-IRS-Violate-Law-Lerner-s-Email> at the National Archives and Records Administration, which is tasked with preserving important federal records, calling itself "concerned" that a hard drive failure would wipe out two years' worth of what should be permanent records. The IRS's own manual <http://www.irs.gov/irm/part1/irm_01-015-006.html#d0e438> made it clear that the storage of email was important enough to have permanent backups of their data. "IRS offices will not store the official recordkeeping copy of email messages that are federal records ONLY on the electronic mail system," and even went so far as to require hard copies "for record-keeping purposes." http://bit.ly/1lEEU5y Source: http://theweek.com/article/index/263304/the-irss-stunning-and-shameful-record-keeping-hypocrisy#axzz355W52huk See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1lEEU5y+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: https://bitly.com/pages/sidebar List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
