What the h.ll is going on. These libraries are the total resource for all data regarding environment data collected since Nixon's time. They are used by scientist, researchers, lawyers, activists and the public. The records have not been converted to disk and the librarians are an essential part of the access.
Who is going after the administration....I am contacting my elected reps and the media....This is huge!!!
