Private Non-profit Group To Receive Giuliani's Records VOA News 15 Feb 2002 11:56 UTC 
Records from Rudy Giuliani's terms as mayor of New York City will be turned over to a private non-profit group.
City officials signed an agreement Thursday to hand over the materials to the Rudolph Giuliani Center for Urban Affairs.
Michael Cardozo, the city's corporation council, said his office will comb through the records to decide which are private, which are city property, and which should be withheld from the public. Critics had questioned an earlier plan that gave Mr. Giuliani authority to make that decision, saying that violated Freedom of Information laws.
Archivists will sort through the documents over a three-year period, flagging all records that may be private, and those that may relate to city security, law enforcement, or pending legislation.
Mr. Cardozo's office will have the power to grant access to records that are kept restricted.
