“Second, the records being kept in many different forms help to reinforce their accuracy and authenticity.
“Third, this detailed record, even though some will argue is the biased view of active participants in the matters being recorded, will nevertheless provide very useful source materials for researchers and historians in the future whether they are for or against our administration.
