Putting this in context, how is information defined as being “Top Secret”, “Secret”, “Classified” or other classifications? Is there a defined requirement of how they should be stored? And for how long?
It seems that only the nuclear industry has a truly defined method for protecting records and takes it seriously.
Years ago the government had special file cabinets with special locks that stored “Classified Records” and then above that the moved into different grades of safes and then vaults. Back in the Clinton Administration, they did away with a lot of that and the sale of these types of safes by Diebold and Mosler greatly diminished.
Classified documents and above seem to reside on government computers and hard drives and now we have the records floating wherever the reader of the document wants them to go.
Who controls the flow and classification?
Then after active use they flow to NARA but is that after they are declared less than Top Secret and Secret and are merely remaining as Classified. That remains until a FOIA request creates a ruling they are no longer classified.
It would seem that the lack of a truly openly defined records management program that it is hard to point at anyone and claim they are at fault in our current state of records management. Information Governance at the government level does not seem to exist.
Pollard will soon argue that he should be released from prison for selling Top Secret documents because he sold them to an ally. (Israel) So the lack of a defined records management at the highest level of our government leads to these breaches.
Is the records management and secrets designation codified somewhere that the Courts can use as a hard and fast letter of the law?
