congress should require the office of administration to report to congress in the archivist at least annually on eop's implementation of the record-keeping laws. this can serve as an early warning system to avoid learning record-keeping violation after an administration of left office and remediation may not be possible. the pra should impose a mandatory reporting requirement on the white house counsel to advise the archivist and the attorney general about the threat or actual destruction of a record or systemic problem and to charge the white house counsel with fixing those problems. congress required the white house counsel to share at the beginning of the new administration record-keeping guises for the executive office of the president to be posted on nara's website. and finally congress should conform the pra with the technical realities of the 21st century by prohibiting the use of any technology that does not enable the preservation of records created by that technology. i will refer to my written testimony for needed reforms to the federal records act. but let me close with t

so i talked to the city archivist who is my boss. she was very interested. one of the things that i wanted to get to the library was the avengers collection. this is definitely a valuable poster. because it is petty bone. it has that weird look because it was framed. it had something acid on it and something not acid framing it. we had to bring all of this stuff that had been piling up in my life here and make sure that the important parts of it got archived. it wasn't a big stretch for them to start collecting in the area of punk. we have a lot of great photos and flyers from that area and that. that i could donate myself. from they're, i decided, you know, why not pursue other people and other bands and get them to donate as well? the historic moments in san francisco, punk history, is the sex pistols concert which was at winterland.

i'm david ferio archivist of the united states as a pleasure to welcome you to today's conversation with kevin boyle and suzanne e smith about boyle's new book the shattering before we begin i'd like to tell you about two programs coming up soon on our youtube channel. on wednesday, january 26th at 1 pm. david mckean will tell us about his new book watching darkness fall which recounts the rise of the third reich in germany and the road to war from the perspective of four american ambassadors in key western european capitals, london berlin rome paris and moscow. and on tuesday, february 1st at 1pm. we'll hear from sarah pollock who will discuss her book fdr in american memory roosevelt and the making of an icon. she analyzes roosevelt as a cultural icon in american memory historical leader who carefully and intentionally built his public image. kevin boyle begins his look at the 1960s with the story of 8 cahill who in 1961 organized his neighbors to deck their houses with american flags for the 4th of july. boyle was inspired by a photograph of cahill and his neighbors that he had senior

second, he's an archivist and it's important because of our emphasis on archives. just when you think he appeals to the particular audience, you can see when he writes masters and commanders he has access to the unknown or unpublished diaries of the commanders of world war ii. if you think nobody can say another word about napoleon, he has the unprinted letters of napoleon. the same with the royal family, the king. so on. almost every major project he undertakes, it's imperative that he finds new information and tries to make that accessible. but in addition to that, i think, finally, there's something unique about andrew. he's an unapologetic traditionalist and conservative, but he's not an ideologue. he's neither predictably conservative, neither is he a contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. when you pick up "masters and commanders and the stories of george marshall, you would think that fdr would come off pretty badly." he doesn't. it's a very fair portrayal of fdr and some cases, churchill comes off less astute, especially about the mediterranean strateg
