Jeffrey Young has another story about the NARA reclassification 
webposted on the Chronicle of Higher Education website today.  I no 
longer subscribe to the CHE and cannot link you all to it.  I read the 
story in Nexis today, however.  I notice that it mentions the SAA 
statement and adds that:

"Other prominent archivists, however, called for further steps to be 
taken to ensure transparency at the National Archives.  Richard J. Cox, 
a professor of library and information sciences at the University of 
Pittsburgh, said in a message to an e-mail list for archivists that an 
independent group should investigate the incidents.

"We need a much stronger, more independent National Archives," he said 
in an interview."

If anyone can post a link to today's CHE so the rest of you can read 
the whole article, I'd appreciate it.  Or, look for it in Nexis if you 
have access to it.
