Reply #25: "The agreement also grants the Giuliani Center..

Center a role in determining the public nature and availability of documents. If the Giuliani Center determines that material is not a “public document,” the Center and the City can agree to destroy it."

Is that what visitors to Giuliani’s archives at "the fortress" were doing? Destroying documents, including the world trade center files?

"The Fortress, which has other storage facilities in Boston and Miami, calls itself "the leading Museum Quality Storage and Service Company in the world." The Queens facility, at 49-20 Fifth St., is believed to house portions of several valuable art collections, including treasures from the Museum of Modern Art.

While Giuliani spokesmen insist that the former mayor is footing the bill for storing the archives, Allen Hansen, manager of the LIC Fortress said he wasn’t sure who is paying his company.

"You know, that’s a good question," Hansen told Courier reporters who visited the warehouse last week. Hansen said that Giuliani’s archives are taking up about 1,500 square feet of space at a cost of $3.50 per square foot, or $5,250 per month. He refused to grant a tour of the warehouse citing the security of clients. And when asked whether representatives of the former mayor have made frequent visits to his lockers, the manager said only, "Normally we don’t see any kind of activity at all."
