THIRTIETH QUARTERLY REPORT ON ACTIONS TAKEN 
BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY TO RETAIN 
IIM-RELATED DOCUMENTS NECESSARY FOR AN ACCOUNTING 
Cobell v. Kempthorne 
June 1, 2007 

This is the Thirtieth Quarterly Report filed by the Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) pursuant to the Court’s December 21, 1999 Order (“Order”) in the above-captioned case. It covers activities occurring over a three-month period from March 1, 2007 through May 31, 2007. The Order requires Treasury to report on the steps it has taken since the last quarterly report to preserve IIM-related documents. 
As reported in Treasury’s Twenty-Seventh Quarterly Report filed September 1, 2006, several boxes of FMS and BPD records were affected by a water sprinkler incident at the Washington National Records Center (WNRC) in July 2006, and NARA sent the boxes to a contractor to be freeze-dried. As of the date of this report, all of the boxes have been dried and returned to the WNRC. 
As also reported in Treasury’s Twenty-Seventh Quarterly Report, a portion of FMS’ working copy set of microfilm copies of negotiated Treasury checks was exposed to water when the basement of FMS’ Hyattsville, Maryland office flooded on June 25, 2006. The water exposure is believed to have affected the quality of the check images on at least portions of some of the water-exposed microfilm cartridges. FMS procured the services of a contractor to wash approximately 2,000 (roughly one-sixth) of the water-exposed cartridges, because those cartridges contain check copies for which original checks may not be available. Washing the microfilm should remediate any adhesions (film layers sticking together), thereby preventing further damage to the images on the microfilm and restoring the functioning of the microfilm (i.e., by enabling it to be fed through a microfilm reader). The microfilm washing services are expected to be completed by the end of June 2007. 
On March 1, 2007, Kenneth E. Carfine was appointed Treasury Fiscal Assistant Secretary, replacing Donald V. Hammond who resigned that position in January 2007. The Fiscal Assistant Secretary oversees the Financial Management Service and the Bureau of the Public Debt.
