RIchard Hess linked to a report from this site on July 14th.  I couldn't get 
that link to work.  But there is an alternate link provided on an associated 
page.

It looks as if my assumption was correct, the Apollo moon landing tapes were 
sent to NARA's Federal Records Center in 1970, then called back by NASA some 
time beween 1975-1979, when NASA pulled back almost all of a large series of 
records.  The moon tapes should have gone back to the FRC and eventually been 
accessioned into NARA as "Permanent," but this never happened.

See 
http://www.honeysucklecreek.net.nyud.net:8080/Apollo_11/tapes/
for a site which has a flyer, a report, and the actual NARA SF 135 records 
transmittal form.  The form is at

I'm still downloading it now; it's a large file and I only have dial-up.  If 
I have any further observations, I'll send 'em along.

It would have been much safer for the tapes to have remained at the FRC, you 
can see they have good item control over such materials when they are held in 
NARA facilities.
