[OR_Archaeology] FW: Seattle Archives Closing

[FRENCH Jamie * OPRD]

Forwarded – Information about the Seattle Archives closure<https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/terrible-and-disgusting-decision-to-close-national-archives-at-seattle-a-blow-to-tribes-historians-in-4-states/>.

Here are two letters by me and Ben.  Please do send a letter either to Russel Vought at OMB (the ultimate decision maker) and the US archivist at NARA-DC (they support the closing of NARA-Seattle).  The PBRB members at GSA identified sites and made recommendation to close 12 federal facilities in the country.  Seattle is on top of the list for its huge promising financial returns.  They have made no efforts in consulting the public of the NW region.  Instead their public hearings were held between June and December 2019 in LA, Denver, and DC.

Thanks.
