Is that what lawyers do all day? Look up definitions of words on Google to argue absurdities such as "keeping photocopies or digital records doesn't count as 'preserving records', it means original documents only"?
Don't need a law degree to understand what is written. I posted the definition of preserve so as to demonstrate that taking photo copies, isn't the same thing. Furthermore, from the link Peet posted, the description of preservation is reaffirmed.
QUOTE Under the Presidential Records Act, the White House must preserve all memos, letters, emails and papers that the president touches,
sending them to the National Archives for safekeeping as historical records.[/quote]
Doesn't take a law degree to understand what preserving means and what the duties of the National Archives are in that regard.
