Part One covers Background: The National Archives, 1776-1949; Part Two covers The National Archives and Records Service, 1949-1968; and Part Three covers The Future of the National Archives and Records Service. There are 8 black and white illustrations following Page 138, as well as 6 tables in the text (covering the Organization Chart of the National Archives and Records Service; NARS Personnel and Operating Expenses, 1935-1968; Distribution of Work Time by Functions (Archival Work, Records Management, Record Centers, Federal Register, and Service Direction). These figures, when compared with the staff of 358 and appropriations of $1, 452, 000 in 1949, reveal a substantial increase during the past 18 years. The Increases, however, reflect largely the new or expanded responsibilities assumed since 1949--in records management, records centers, and presidential archives. The Author concludes that the creation of a new, strong, independent, and professionally administered National Archives and Records Authority--composed of the offices of the National Archives, Presidential Archives, Federal Register, Records Management, Federal Records Centers, and Archives of Machine-Readable Records, plus the National Historical Publications Commission--is the surest way of guaranteeing that the American story will be told and that it will be told accurately and objectively.
