I am not complaining, but I would prefer to discuss in person.

Ed-I just want to make sure you are aware that we do have an official office policy on records retention (in the employee manual):

Section 5.11-Office Record Retention and Open Record Policy:

'Records Retention-Every record made or rec'd under the authority of, or coming into the custody, control or possession of the Governor's office personnel, in connection with the transaction of official business of state government, and having sufficient legal, fiscal, administrative, or historical value, shall be retained in accordance with Missouri law."

In the PD article today, they quote the governor saying that our office has no official policy on what should be saved and what should be deleted. I doubt it would be hard for someone to get a hold of our employee manual-they might even have it online. I think some would argue that the section above does specify what is to be retained and (implicitly) what is to be deleted.

Do you want me to have Pattie scan and send to you?
