Per the president's memo:

"Improving records management will improve performance and promote openness
and accountability by better documenting agency actions and decisions.
Records transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA) provide the prism through which future generations will understand
and learn from our actions and decisions.  Modernized records management
will also help executive departments and agencies (agencies) minimize costs
and operate more efficiently.  Improved records management thus builds on
Executive Order 13589 of November 9, 2011 (Promoting Efficient Spending),
which directed agencies to reduce spending and focus on mission critical
functions."

A classic definition of records management, and not one mention of risk
reduction.
