Announcement

With this issue The Record will at least temporarily suspend publication. The National Archives and Records Administration is reviewing all of its publications in light of how it can best and most affordably meet the needs of the public for information. We are grateful to Roger Bruns for his editorship of The Record and expect one way or another to continue to make publicly available the kinds of information published in it.
