The DON CIO provides strategic direction and oversight of DON records management, which is the planning, controlling, directing, organizing, training, promoting and performing of other managerial activities related to the creation, maintenance and use, and disposition of records. Records management is meant to adequately and properly document Federal policies and transactions and to effectively and economically manage agency operations. Records should contain adequate and proper documentation of an agency's organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures and essential transactions. They are designed to furnish the information necessary to protect the legal and financial rights of the government and of those directly affected by agency activities.
