Steve,
The NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Office initiated
a thorough search of our records on Oecembar 3, 2003, portaining to records being sought in
leslie Kean's FOIA request, HQ FOIA 03·181 , KSC's search Included tho KSC library archives; tile
Centor Directors Office; the NASAIKSC Records Manager's Office ; the KSC Protective Services &
Safeguards Office; the KSC FOIA Office, and the Workforce and Diversity Management Office. As
a result of our search, KSC was unable to located any responsive records. Further, due the age
of these files and NASA records retention schedules/procedures and guidelines (NPG 1441 ,1C) , if
these records were required to be kept by NASA, they would have long ago been sent by the
Program Offices to the National Archives for storage , Therefore, the KSC Records Manager,
Marilee Tewksbury, was tasked to conduct a search of the KSC archive logs dating back to this
timeframe . She was unable to find any KSC records of the files requested by Ms. Kean that were
transferred to the NASA archives for permanent storage.
KSC conducted its search of the offices noted above as recommended by the action received
from the NASA HQs. FOIA Office dated December 3, 2003.
