The Bureau established this clasification in 1938 to handle "research enforecement officers, and the media; speeches and press releases; and in Headuqarters, general public relations. Originally these matters were contained in 62. Many 62 files were moved into 94. In the field, this classification covers research matters in a more narrow sense while most public relations material is found in classification 80. In Headquarters, the files fall into a six broad categories some of which are also contained in 94 in the Field: correspondence; movie, TV, and radio scripts; mailing lists; parole matters; FBI training materials; and speeches, press relases and other public relatins matters. The first nine case files, and other case files consist of main files and subfiles. Some of the subfiles in turn contain additional subfiles. For the purposes of retention and disposal each main file and sub-file should be treated as a case file. In other words, 94-1-103, The Kentucky Peace Officers, is disposable, but 94-1-15294, Northwestern University, is permanent. There is no "0" files for this classification.
