Years for Nixon tapes to become public despite ruling
Public access to Richard Nixon’s presidential tapes and papers remains years away. Supreme Court decisions upheld a 1974 law, but Congress must issue screening regulations, a process likely to last months and potentially years if challenged. With 42 million documents and 880 tapes, archivists face a lengthy sorting phase.

Repeal Effort Over $12,900 Congressional Pay Rise
Congress considers an amendment to reclaim the $12,900 pay raise granted in March while avoiding changes for about 20,000 top federal workers. The House may cut funds for next year’s raise, sending the bill to a conference committee. If enacted, the Senate could restore the money, delaying final action. House also voted to deny the current cost of living raise to those who received the March increase, in a 397 to 20 decision, with broader adjustments expected for October.
