(U//ATUO) On 4 January 2001, Sharon Fawcett, Deputy Assistant Archivist for Presidential Libraries at the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) met with representatives from the OIM Declassification
Center (ODC) to discuss the possibility of ODC providing document conversion and declassification support
services at the presidential libraries. She asked if ODC could assist in scanning about 500,000 pages at the Carter
Library, 50,000 pages of pre-presidential material at the Reagan Library, and a small amount of Nixon
pre-presidential material at the Federal Records Center in San Miguel, California. In addition, she asked for CIA

(U//KFUO) ODC Volunteer To Help Move Clinton Presidential Materials to Classified Storage to Arkansas
(U//7‘rl'b‘Q§-The National Archives began the gargantuan task of moving 835 tons of presidential materials to the
Clinton presidential library in Arkansas and has asked ODC for a volunteer to help. Chief of ODC's
Declassification Review Division volunteered to be a security escort for the classified material, which will be
transported on an Air Force C-5A Galaxy transport aircraft on the 18 January flight from Andrews Air Force Base
to Little Rock, Arkansas. ‘
O Hardly a plush assignment, this task will require a very early departure from Andrews aboard a drafty
cargo plane that has no windows. Upon arrival, a convoy of semi-trucks will make the hour-long trek to
the SCIF in Little Rock and NARA has assured the escort that he too must help unload and shelve the boxes
in the SCIF before returning to Washington.
