My issue with this bill is that it ignores the crucial function of NTIS as a library. That is, an official source of these documents with a responsibility to maintain, categorize, and retain them. Various other public sites have no such responsibility.
- dragonwriter 13y ago> My issue with this bill is that it ignores the crucial function of NTIS as a library. Insofar as that is a critical function, the bill allows the Secretary of Commerce to declare it as such and, provided the Comptroller-General finds that the function isn't duplicated elsewhere in the federal government, transfer the function to another office within the Department of Commerce. See Section 3(b) of the bill.
- craftsman 13y agoI agree, but why not use, say, a library? The Library of Congress comes to mind. Perhaps the National Archives would be appropriate as well.
