Hi Gary,

I am ashamed to say, I was a Records Supervisor for Worldcom at those
timorous times.  

You probably will not find anything that directly tired Records
Management with the bankruptcy.  The Records Management Program Worldcom
had at the time, had no Records Liaisons, Records Committee or
Compliance oversight and was being managed by a records staff of only 4
people.  

In my opinion, Records Management was by-product of the countless SEC
violations.

Okay, I give up. I've been searching the list archives and Googling
articles and cannot find what I'm looking for. I'm preparing a
presentation and I just want to know what exactly the Worldcom
bankruptcy had to do with records management. I find countless articles
with oblique references to how the Worldcom scandal helped turn the
spotlight on records management practices, but in all those articles I
do not find a mention of what exactly was the records management mistake
they made.

I'm not asking anyone to do any searching for me (Peter), partly because
I have read enough articles arleady. But if anyone happens to know off
hand the records management mistake Worldcom made, I would appreciate
it.

Thanks,
Gary
