Another classic case of an organization who has assigned itself the
responsibility for managing electronic content that can't even get their act
together with paper.  And another case of a defense contractor "Gone Wild"
and being funded to do things that are outside their primary scope of
expertise.

Should this have happened with the ERA model up and running?  Absolutely
not.  Why weren't the contents of this hard drive streamed onto a secure
server in the ERA and then the hard drive either secured in a media vault or
destroyed?

NARA itself issued regulations that clearly state any information that meets
the definition of a record should be transferred to an approved ERMS or
printed and retained as paper.  There shouldn't have BEEN any information on
a hard drive from a former President, seeing as records of Senior Officials
ALL have a Permanent retention.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming...
