oral papers but by week's end it appeared that an agreement had been reached=

<BR>
<BR>However one story did surface that was even more shocking and that was t=
he report out of Philadephia that a NARA archivist was accused of stealing d=
ocuments from the National Archives and selling them on e-Bay. If not for th=
e sharp eye of a National Park Service employee who knows when the thefts wo=

pers carried it as a major story, the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Los Ange=
