Moreover, he reviewed some important information to activate and enhance record-keeping awareness among the employees of SASO, in addition to the mechanisms of dealing properly with archives and records.وأشار الهداب في محاضرته إلى أن الدولة حفظها الله أولت اهتماماً بالغاً بهذا المجال، وذلك يتمثل في صدور موافقة مجلس الوزراء في وقت سابق على الترتيبات التنظيمية لمراكز الوثائق والمحفوظات في الأجهزة الحكومية، التي تنص الفقرة الأولى منها على إنشاء مركز للوثائق والمحافظات في المقر الرئيس لكل جهاز حكومي.
