Bringing Nixon on Board

Allen Weinstein, Archivist of the United States, has a short letter to the editor over at the Washington Post. He says the new Nixon library will be a good thing. Now, the Nixon Library will be held to the same high standard and rules to which all other presidential libraries are required to conform.

“The presidential libraries are unique in their ability to bring together policymakers, journalists, historians and participants in forums that examine events and issues of the past century. The inclusion of the Nixon Library in this system gives us an uninterrupted timeline of presidential history for the past 75 years.”
