It is the only one in the United States wish such complete information. To close the doors to the citizens, in my opinion, would be to take away our constitutional rights.

Please don't close the library, move the archives, or do anything that would reduce the access to these records. Many of us can't travel, and would have great difficulty finding these again even if they were available from another site. These records and documents are very important to many thousands of people.
