House Dems seek to formalize former presidents' ability to withhold records - The Hill's Floor Action More than a dozen House Democrats last week proposed legislation that would establish a formal process former presidents could use to shield their presidential records from public scrutiny. Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) and 16 other Democrats proposed *H.R. 3071*<http://thehill.com/images/stories/blogs/flooraction/Jan2011/hr3071.pdf>, which would amend the Presidential Records Act to allow former presidents to assert a "constitutionally based privilege" against disclosing presidential records. Under the bill, this would start a process requiring the current president to judge that assertion. http://bit.ly/nRFIQn Source: http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/185039-house-dems-seek-to-formalize-presidents-ability-to-withhold-records-from-public See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/nRFIQn+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
