"So, why can't the National Archives hang on to its computer hard drives? That's the question that the House Information Policy, Census and National Archives Subcommittee wants answered.
"Several months ago, Archives officials were in this same hearing room reporting to the panel on a hard drive containing archived electronic data representing thousands of e-mail messages containing data from the Clinton Administration.
"In some cases, those messages contained personal information about White House staff of that era. That hard drive, one of several acting as a transition tool for the conversion of the data into a new database format, went missing from Archives offices in College Park, Maryland earlier this year."
We played highlights from this hearing, including testimony from the Archives, the Archives IG, the GAO, and a private-sector expert on data recovery and destruction.
