We have reason to wonder whether the hold was Ensign's doing all along.  Similarly, Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) now has an objection to moving forward with HR 1255, the <A href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-1255">Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2007</A>.  The bill would overturn <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13233">an outrageous Executive Order</A> that would keep presidential records hidden from public view indefinitely.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sunlightfoundation.com/presidential_records_in_the_dark">The EO turns on its head the purpose and principles of the Presidential Records Act, which was enacted in 1978 to ensure that presidential records are the property of the federal government.  In a nutshell, the PRA says that once the president leaves office, the National Archives has control of his papers.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sunlightfoundation.com/presidential_records_in_the_dark">The <A href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-1255">Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2007</A> would lift this shroud of secrecy from presidential records.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/53B3E67F-4131-473A-9C84-72C6DE749279/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
