Summary

The Committee must review how Congress’s records are managed and kept safe. It must report to and advise Congress and the Archivist of the United States about that management and preservation. By December 31, 1991, the Committee must study and report to Congress on two things: how moving National Archives and Records Administration records out of Washington, D.C. would affect how Congress’s records are managed and preserved, and a five-year plan for managing and preserving those records. By December 31, 1995, the Committee must update that five-year-plan report and send the update to Congress.
