We, the undersigned, call on Congress to fully support and protect the integrity of the National Archives of the United States, ensuring that it continues to fulfill its critical role in preserving and providing access to our nation's history.

The National Archives and Records Administration safeguards our collective history, protects the public's right to know, and ensures transparency and accountability in government. It is a critical institution for researchers, educators, students, journalists, and all citizens who value the preservation of historical records and the principles of democracy.
