Dear all:
I agree with Alison and feel that we at ARLIS/NA should join our
colleagues at AMIA and SAA to strongly oppose this executive order.
I see this order as yet another assault by the Bush Administration on the
public's access to information. Our civil liberties should not be
threatened and our need to protect these liberties is now more urgent
than ever.

Hi All,
This is an article about an executive order that Bush signed over
the
weekend allowing the White House or former presidents to veto the release
of
their papers.
The archival community is quite concerned about this and is now figuring
out
what to do and how to proceed.
I urge everyone to read the article and for ARLIS/NA to take a stand
with
AMIA and the SAA.
