Federal Email Management Report

From the Washington Post: "Federal officials inconsistently preserve government e-mail, creating gaps in the public record and making it difficult for the public to understand the activities of the government, according to a report released by the Government Accountability Office yesterday."

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, "Federal Records: National Archives and Selected Agencies Need to Strengthen E-Mail Management," is now online.
