Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, 
and disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
    Data is recorded on magnetic tapes and disks, computer printouts, 
computer output products (microform and reports); file folders, 
notebooks, binders, card filed, and bulk storage, and other documents.

Retrievability:
    Computerized, conventional indices, other identification numbers or 
system identifiers are required to retrieve individual records from the 
system. Normally, information is retrieved by individual's name and
