According to Reps. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) and Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), there
is a “discouraging” lack of transparency and archiving on the part of the
federal government.

The congressman said at a Feb. 1 event that the recent presidential
transition proved there needs to be a more formal process for archiving the
federal government’s digital footprint, but neither went as far as to
propose what this process should look like.

“It was discouraging to learn that the federal government does not have a
formal process for archiving .gov sites during the change in
administrations,” Quigley said. Besides missing the chance to preserve
information related to the transfer of power, “this poses a particular
concern for vital scientific research and data that might be out of line
with different views,” he added.
