The Society of American Archivists (SAA) notes with concern the practice of
many elected and appointed government officials of using unofficial,
non-government email accounts for the conduct of public business.

Recent press coverage of Hillary Rodham Clinton's use of a personal email
account while serving as U.S. Secretary of State has again raised concerns
among members of SAA.  Archivists are the professionals who are entrusted
to identify the essential evidence of our society and ensure its
availability for use by students, teachers, policy makers, organizational
leaders, historians, genealogists, and a wide range of individuals with
information needs.  Our work supports accountability, legal and fiscal
needs, and the accessibility of the American record.

"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.
