The archivist job has become something of a lightning rod for controversy, particularly as various agencies and administrations press for keeping their records secret for decades despite strong pressures from historians and the public to declassify as much information as soon as possible.
The news comes two days before a scheduled House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the National Archives and the lack of a permanent archivist. The panel intends to question acting Archive officials about the disappearance of computer disks with information from the Clinton administration, including Social Security numbers of several White House staffers and one of Al Gore's daughters.
