[R-390] NASA R-390A

[rbethman]

  Yes sir!

All of these forms went into files.  Those files were kept for a 
designated period, on-site, until either destroyed or archived.

The Army files "were" archived in St. Louis.  IIRC, they had a fire in 
the records holding "area" in the '60s or "maybe" 70s.

It would be one heck of a task to locate them, *IF* we could even get in 
to look.
