learned. That strategy will be supported by an aid package potentially 
worth more than $7bn (£3.55bn), which is due to go before Congress for

Thursday, 17 April 2008 00:54

Citing "significant deficiencies" in the preservation of e-mail by the 
White House and federal agencies, House Democrats yesterday introduced 
legislation to strengthen and modernize electronic record-keeping 
requirements. But a private watchdog group called the bill inadequate 
and issued a report describing federal record-keeping as antiquated and 
chaotic.

The group chided the government for following a "print-and-save policy" 
in which even e-mail is routinely printed out on paper and filed away to 
comply with federal record-keeping rules. It said the government needs 
to be pushed to adopt technology and practices common in the private sector.

Citing growing financial demands, George H. Miller, director of Lawrence 
Livermore National Laboratory, said that "science is being squeezed out" 
during a meeting yesterday with Washington Post editors and reporters. 
He said the labs in total had experienced a shortfall of several hundred 
million dollars in needed funds.
