NARA publishes proposed rule - Nixon regulations



The National Archives and Records Administration has published a proposed rule modifying the regulations for obtaining copies of the Nixon White House tape recordings which are in NARA custody.  First, NARA is now allowing the public to obtain copies of all Nixon White House tape recordings after they are officially released to the public.  Previously, NARA only permitted the public to obtain selected tape recordings.  Second, the ban on self-service copying of these tapes is lifted.  These changes reflect modifications in the 1996 Nixon Tapes Settlement Agreement that became effective April 1, 2001.  These regulations apply to the public. 
 
The proposed rule is in the March 15, 2002 Federal Register at page 11632.  Comments are due on May 14, 2002.
