On August 12, the GPO and National Archives agreed on a plan to provide permanent online public access to more than 250,000 government documents. Quoting the U.S. Public Printer Bruce James: "GPO is committed to providing permanent public access to the online versions of the most important Government publications. That is why we are honored that NARA has recognized our commitment to making this information available today and to preserving it for future generations by making us an archival affiliate."

free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
