The Archivist of the United States.  Upon learning of the Kissinger
transcripts, then Archivist James Rhoads sent this Jan. 4, 1977 letter
<http://www.dcoxfiles.com/010477Rhoads.pdf> to Kissinger stating that he
believed statutory duties under the Federal Records Act "*require* that I
conduct an inspection" of the transcripts to "verify the conclusions made
[by the State Department] and actions taken concerning them" (emphasis
added).  Rhoads attempted to "enlist" Kissinger's "cooperation in
permitting qualified archivists from my staff to be given the opportunity
to examine the telephonic transcriptions" in order to "determine whether
such materials are, indeed, personal property or whether some portions of
them may be Federal records."  The Archivist also guaranteed "the
protection of any confidential information which these archivists may
encounter during their inspection."

"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.
