With a voice vote in the House
<http://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/1233/actions>
agreeing to Senate amendments, Congress has now passed, and is sending to
the President, H.R. 1233
<http://www.congress.gov/113/bills/hr1233/BILLS-113hr1233rs.pdf>, the
*Presidential
and Federal Records Act Amendments of 2014*, that finally, definitively
gives authority to the Archivist of the United States to make
determinations about what is, and is not, a "record" that are *binding* on
federal agencies.  I'll explain in a second why this section of the bill is
important, but here it is in all its glory - frame it and put it on the

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
