ABSTRACT
Those issues which require decisions at a level of authority higher than that delegated to the records manager should be discussed by a senior level records management committee. The committee, which should be a formally established body chaired by the records manager and consisting of members including legal counsel, accounting or tax personnel, internal auditing manager, data processing manager, director of administra tion, and other key figures in the hierarchy as appropriate, should deal with overall policy issues and should provide input for decisions of critical import such as vital records determination and retention scheduling.
