    paragraph_quote: 2.1 INTRODUCTION Both the lender and the Agency have record retention
      responsibilities. Upon request, the lender must be able to provide the Agency
      with all mortgage loan files including all loan origination documents. When
      the lender uses imaging for storage of records, it must retain the capability
      to reproduce legible and exact duplicates of all original documents. The Agency
      must retain all files relating to its approval of a lender for participation
      in the Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program (SFHGLP).
