Nixon archives move funded in Bush budget

The AP President Bush’s budget plan would keep the Nixon Library on track as it converts from a private to a public facility that will house the ex-president’s records.

Bush is asking for $10.6 million in 2007 for the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace in Yorba Linda, Calif., 30 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The money will help the National Archives and Records Administration build an addition to house Nixon’s records – including, eventually, the Watergate tapes – and pay for staff and operations.
