Dear Mr. Sarago:

This letter documents the transfer of custody of the Administrative Office of the US

Courts’ (AOUSC) records related to the Civil Justice Reform Act (CJRA) from the AOUSC to

the Federal Judicial Center (FJC). The FJC was also involved in developing and administering

the CJRA Program and has a similar collection of records. Enclosed is a list summarizing the

contents of the 12 boxes to be transferred. A file folder list will be provided at the time of

transfer.

Congress mandated the CJRA Program in 1990. The requirements of the Act expired in

1997, with the exception of the creation of semi-annual statistical reports, which are produced by

the Statistics Division of the AOUSC. The AOUSC’s records of the CJRA Program are

currently in the custody of the Court Administration Policy Staff (CAPS). They document the

development, implementation and management of the program, and include annual reports and

plans produced by advisory committees in each Judicial District. Mr. Fred Russillo, on behalf of

CAPS, requested that the CJRA files in CAPS’ possession be transferred to the FJC to

consolidate the collection in one location, and facilitate access for research purposes.

A TRADITION OF SERVICE TO THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY
Mr. Matt Sarago

Please let me know when you are ready to receive this collection and I will make 

arrangements to have it delivered. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. If you
