i don't know if there are a whole lot of archival institutions, including the national archives in d.c., where you can sit down and say these are the records i would like to look at and ten minutes later someone brings you a cart of boxes. but the resources at the bush library are shrinking. i was director 18 years and over my time, if you lose an archivist, they go somewhere else, then they are promoted and you ask them to backfill the position and then your supervisor is your deputy director you promote within, then you lose two positions -- the guy that became your assistant director and the person who became your supervisor. so it is a funny issue. i do think we do really good work. across from us is the bush school. the biggest component is the scowcroft institute. they have a lot of records. there is a push to get those records declassified. then professors at smu can use them. prof. naftali: classified presidential and vice presidential documents are getting a lot of attention these days, and so is the issue of over-classification. what doesn't get nearly as much attention and d

for national archives. we spend more money on military bands and we don't national archives. so we've got to do something about this problem. but the lassie i will say is a used to think those terrible people in congress, why will they get more money to national archives? i talk to somebody from the national archives and they said all those years that the budget was getting cut and cut and cut they said actually congress give gives us whatever money to present answer. this is on obama, right, to say national archives system to start in this way. we got to stop it and we got to restore this american tradition. >> thank you. thank you very much okay. question for each member in turn? on prioritization, so we've heard in the the federal go, there's actually a very small number of senior reviewers who can do classified document declassification. and the sexy documents take more of the reviewers times, like the president's daily brief in, more sensitive document but what the american public wants. so we have mil

i don't know that there's a lot of archival institutions including the national archives in dc where you sit at a table and say these are the records i would like to look at and ten minutes later someone brings you up cardboard box. the resources at the bush library are shrinking. i was director for 8 years. you lose an archivist, they go somewhere else, they get promoted and then you try to back fill that position and couldn't, your supervisor became deputy director and you want to promote the archivist and you lose two pose editions, the assistant director and the person who became your supervisor, came from your high. so it is a funding issue. i do think we do really good work. across the plasma from us is the bush school, one of the biggest component is the so croft institute. general so craft was under the closest advisers to president bush. so we have a lot of scowcroft records. we try to get those declassified so professors like -- someone mentioned josh, professions like that can use them. >> classified presidential, advice president or documents, are getting a lot of attenti

the national archives. i went to the library of congress and i said, you know, you've just got these papers. and i have training. i work for you for free and help the current library. and so processing these papers and i spent my entire. of like 1978 working in those papers. so i got to see all those nanny helen burroughs in the archives, even before they actually got to be public. that was a wonderful experience, i must tell you. it just transformed my life. it transformed how i wrote it. transform the themes that i was writing about. so that's my happiest archive moment. well i don't really have a real happy archive. of. i just remember particularly go into the archive and you're looking enslaved women, you're looking through plantation records and you know, i now that there is a vocabulary area that there is a theory that that we've theorized african-american women's history. i was i was there and looking for ever and also i did work at a time when i didn't have anybody to help me. my my, my dissertation

in the archives notified the justice department about their finding and we worked with the president's personal attorney's through this process and white house counsel's office. the white house counsel is not present today to answer that question and we've been following the justice department's lead in coordinating these searches with them. if you want to ask granular questions about the decision-making decision-making about the search or the timing or anything like that i would refer you to the justice department. >> has the fbi conducted any searches of any other locations associated with the president that you are the white house are aware of? >> i think we are providing information as this goes on in answering questions about what's been happening. i'd want to think too much into the ongoing investigation. we have corporate fully with the president's personal attorney send have provided information to be a j. and the searches at the wilmington and rohoboth residents released by the presence personal attorney. no classified documents were found at rohoboth. we rohoboth. we will con

guest: it is not usually how we think of archives. think a lot of your viewers have visited archives if they have ever gone to constitution avenue on the mall, you see the original building of the national archives is where they house the declaration of independence, the constitution, the bill of rights and may be some of your viewers have gone to local libraries and archives or presidential libraries. we think of these places as places that welcome visitors, and they are happy to open their doors to the public. when you go to an archive, you are only seeing a fraction of what lies in store. because archives are given information that are not yet public. this 26 pages are held in centers scattered across the country, they are not open to the public at all. what is in those papers? those of the papers that different departments and agencies decided might be important enough that they had to preserve them permanently, and historically the national archives estimated they only preserve 1% to 3% of the original document or record. the res

the white house staff to work with the archive.decide to come up with bling for organizing the materials. that should be a requirement. that's not the case right now. number two, as bob mentioned there should be a requirement that within your three, regards to whether the president wants to run for office reelection, there should be an exit plan for the materials and i should be a requirement. and congress should be told about that. so congress which monitors, there are to make agents, one house, one senate committee that has oversight responsibilities, they should be given a report in your three about the planning for the exit, or the removal of the materials, and the materials should start moving out before him. three, when you tighten the definitions of what's records. we live it up, there's a real gray area, bob was mentioning one thing, that's never been tested and another thing that's ever been tested is what is political material? because in the pra it is political material not related to what is it, the discharge of constit

trump in the recent political biased at the national archives. president, the former president to the d.o.j. for a criminal investigation but silent what was going on with president biden. >> i think the first thing that needs to happen any and all communication, there is really nothing going on than they should have any problem turning over any and all e-mails and other communications between mrl archives in the former director in current director. show was there was nothing going on, that is an easy thing for them to do. >> there's a david rubenstein gallery at the national archives was completed at a cost of 13 and a half million dollars. he's a major donor to biden, your final word. >> i think of this needs to be investigated in the white house in the archives need to come clean about this and they can do that very easily. there's nothing preventing them from doing it. >> thank you so much, good to see you. we'll be right back stay rightah there. ole new way of manufacturing. you could disrupt buying habits before they disrupt your business.

they national archive. it's the responsible entity. for those who think about imbalance within the system, bear in mind that these same records preservation requirements don't actually apply it to the united states congress. congress is only -- for example, the mitch mcconnell papers are not subject to any similar requirements. >> foia is also not? >> another is for you. for example, during the controversy impeachments, whatever, there is a significant difference between the access of the development of the historical record and access to the historical record between the two institutions. the goal of the white house is to summarize is education on the part of those who work in the white house about the importance of the presidential records act how it operates and preserving documents and then an attempt towards the end of the administration to make sure those warnings are refreshed and the records are appropriately -- at that point they go to the national archives -- are appropriately assembled and delivered as they shift to the nati

just to be clear they can follow up with that. >> did anyone at the only point tell the national archives they could not release about a classified documents spent the reporting fromed the house oversight committee that says in his conversation with the national conversations on —- the national archive they were told they cannot release about the discovery of the classifiedt documents. >> i don't know about that it's probably better to ask the archives and to ask what he meant. >> it is just or know what is the fbi quick. >> i gave an answer to the question. >> [inaudible] the justice department is engaged in an ongoing investigation that i should add the president has been fully cooperated giving access to his home in wilmington every single home in his room and also the information that we need to a move quickly to get them the information i would be careful note to characterize with the justice department is doing in their investigation was probably more appropriate for a question like that to be asked with the justice department. >> . >> the house oversight committee has asked to see

the archivist at the archives was at the state archives was so kind. and he let me hold the document. and for a second he let me touch her initials and just for a second. but i could. how how she had scratched with a quill pen into the document. and as you it her letters were labored and it was hard for her to move the pen. and i just thought she's working so to make herself visible. and there she is. i finally found her. she there was her name, sarah kidd. and i thought, i need to know more about. her. well, thank you very much. and i think you are dreaming and thinking virginia woolf, for a wonderful. we have books for sale in the lobby for those of and might not be able purchase a through bookshop.org bookshop.org. thank you very much.

and i want to help a friend from the digitize, the entire archive. and of course, the 1st stage as doing anything like digitization is to try to understand what you actually have this option. do you dream wilson crippler, gazoomba culture, zamiah's muff mug either or the sliding doors in a park or a month for an idle with ah, the viewers can stand outside afghan and sun is so monolithic. and i think the earlier afghanistan's that exist dead, the afghan intellectual, as them laughed on modernism, african left ism, all of these other histories are actually present in this archive. and to see them acted out on film, it really changes the way that people think about afghanistan. we've been seeing, especially in the past few years, these incidents have really extreme violence. and it's important to be reminded that there were decades when after allison was not a place where violet was normal, it ashima on me. they've got the key brought in a lot of that to go with her speaking with her. megan stewart, reco metabolic day shadow, mazata sheriff homeland now

unfortunately , we do not have very good access to archives.informal and to that's why the only way we had to be in that place to find people who witnessed these events closely was to inquire and find people in the most basic way possible for any job. let's find a good thing. look, there were a number of people other than the officials at that time, for example, the person in charge of the bomb minimization unit in the report on the size or the person in charge of the investigation unit of the committee or the computer members were working on the issues of access to it, it was not difficult to find the people who he finding the moment to be present in that place do you think it will be difficult? thank god, we were able to find the insta password in every fifth of them. they were present and we validated it. the next step in this research project is that we met journalists and photographers who had photographed well there and were present. immediately after this incident and by putting their statements together, i was able to say that, for exam
