National Security Archive and White House Reach Agreement for Restoration of Missing Bush White House E-mails
The National Security Archive, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, the White House and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) today entered into an agreement setting forth general principles that will resolve the missing White House e-mail lawsuit filed first by the Archive in September 2007.
"We commend the Obama Administration for making a strong effort to clean up the electronic data mess left behind by the prior administration," commented Sheila Shadmand, counsel for the Archive.
"We now know that many poor choices were made during the Bush Administration and there was little concern about the availability of e-mail records despite the fact that they were contending with regular subpoenas for records and had a legal obligation to preserve their records for the nation's long term historical memory," explained Meredith Fuchs, the Archive's General Counsel.
"We have done our best in this case to maximize the number of e-mails that have been found or reconstructed from disaster recovery backup tapes," explained Kristen Lejnieks, counsel for the Archive. "The government can now can find and search over 22 million more e-mails than they could in late 2005. They also will restore 94 calendar days from backup tapes. We certainly hope that many major gaps in the record have been filled."
Commenting on the state of the current White House e-mail system, Ms. Fuchs stated: "We have been briefed on the system in use since the beginning of the Obama Administration and we believe that the system now in use fixes the significant problems with the prior system, including by capturing everything, properly categorizing the e-mails, and preventing unauthorized deletion."
The Archive's lawsuit impacted White House e-mail records in a number of ways:
* Increased the Number of Preserved Emails: As a result of the three phase e-mail restoration process pursued during this lawsuit, the Defendants found, sorted and properly categorized 22 million more emails than they could find in late 2005. In addition, during this process the Office of Administration identified "other repositories" of email, "which added approximately one million unique messages" to the email archive.
* Preservation of Records During the Transition: The lawsuit ensured the preservation of all media during the presidential transition that contained emails from March 2003 through October 2005. The backup tapes will continue to be preserved for 12 years after the settlement of this suit, ensuring that this crucial data remains available to the public.
* Disaster Recovery Backup System: The lawsuit drew attention to the poor backup system utilized by the White House Office of Administration for the Executive Office of the President and helped lead to implementation of more reliable practices.
* Better Searching: EOP/OA completely revamped its process for allocating messages to presidential and federal records components at the White House so that future records searches will be more accurate.
* Restored Missing Emails from Backup Tapes: At the completion of restoration efforts, this lawsuit will have resulted in the restoration of 94 days worth of emails from disaster recovery backup tapes--likely adding hundreds of thousands of unique messages to NARA's archive. These include 21 calendar days (containing 48 component days) that the White House identified as statistically low, 33 additional days that the plaintiffs identified, and 40 sample days.
* Going Forward System: This lawsuit paved the way for a new e-mail archiving system currently in use at the White House.

BBC and British Library join forces to broaden access to their archives
The BBC and British Library will today sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), in an innovative approach to make the content and assets of both organisations more widely available.
Managed by a joint steering committee, the MOU seeks to develop new ways of integrating access to nearly a million hours of BBC TV and radio content and over 150 million British Library items - significantly increasing access to research material across both national institutions for the benefit of researchers and the wider public.
Signed by BBC Director General Mark Thompson and CEO of the British Library Dame Lynne Brindley, the MOU also proposes that the BBC and British Library collaborate to develop viable approaches on important issues -such as rights management, distribution of archive content, digitisation and storage.
Mark Thompson, Director- General BBC said "The BBC and the British Library share many of the same purposes - to guarantee public access to content in an open realm, creating a space where people can debate and exchange ideas and experiences. Unlocking the wealth of content in the British Library and BBC archives is a great opportunity as well as an immense challenge. It is vital we partner, harnessing the power of digital technology to give the public the access they deserve."
CEO of the British Library, Dame Lynne Brindley said: "Providing increasing access to our collections using digital technologies is a primary goal of the British Library. This partnership not only demonstrates that we are keen to share content for the benefit of today's researchers and the knowledge economy, but also expresses our continued commitment to supporting the government's vision of building a Digital Britain."
Dame Lynne continues: "Through this MOU we aim to create a model of best practice which will allow the Library to develop similar opportunities with other public institutions. Providing unparalleled access to joint information services and world-class digital archival content will truly enable the business, academic, scientific, research and creative communities to flourish."
The agreement follows MOUs signed earlier this year between the BBC and the British Film Institute and the BBC and The National Archives.

Kennedy Considered Supporting Coup in South Vietnam, August 1963
Newly Declassified Audio Tapes Reveal JFK Saw Only Negative Choices
At a critical moment in August 1963, President John F. Kennedy saw only negative choices on Vietnam, according to new audio recordings and documentation posted today by the National Security Archive. Recently declassified tapes of secret White House meetings on the possibility of U.S. support for a military coup against President Ngo Dinh Diem show that Kennedy believed that if Diem's brother Ngo Dinh Nhu remained a major influence, the war might not succeed. Recognizing that Congress might get "mad" at him for supporting coup-minded Vietnamese generals, Kennedy said that it will "be madder if Vietnam goes down the drain." Thus, Kennedy did not disagree when Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara said that the U.S. needed to "plan how we make this thing work." The tapes also show that McNamara, long held to have opposed the Diem coup, failed to express such a strong view at the moment of this decision.
The newly declassified tapes are authoritative evidence on U.S.policy toward the Vietnamese coup, and they shed fresh light on one of the most controversial episodes of the American war in Vietnam. In continuation of our previous coverage of this aspect of U.S. policy during the Vietnam war, the National Security Archive is posting the Kennedy tapes and memoranda containing the written accounts of the same National Security Council (NSC) meetings, together with related documents concerning this affair. The episode is covered in considerable detail in 'William Colby and the CIA: The Secret Wars of a Controversial Spymaster,' by National Security Archive fellow John Prados.
The new evidence shows that:
* President Kennedy repeatedly pressed for better information regarding the balance of South Vietnamese forces for and against a coup. While Kennedy expressed reluctance to proceed with a coup that had no chance for success, he agreed with other senior U.S. officials that under the existing Saigon leadership there was no chance of success in the Vietnam war. On the tapes, Kennedy can be heard moderating NSC deliberations that aimed at forging a policy specifically aimed at the Saigon coup.
* Kennedy and other top U.S. officials agreed that, at a minimum, Saigon leader Diem had to be made to eject his brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, and Nhu's wife, Madame Nhu, from the South Vietnamese government. Whether this could be done by diplomatic approaches or required resort to a coup became the focus of much of these NSC deliberations. Even officials opposed to a coup agreed on the necessity to eject Nhu. Defense secretary Robert S. McNamara, who, like President Kennedy, voiced support only for a coup that could succeed, also concurred on the Nhu problem. The range of consensus included U.S. officials who subsequently gained credit for opposing expansion of the Vietnam war, most prominently Undersecretary of State George W. Ball.
* Kennedy and his advisers saw proposals to halt U.S. aid to South Vietnam as measures to weaken the Diem government in the face of the South Vietnamese generals or to direct the aid to the Vietnamese military rather than Diem.
* Proposals to evacuate Americans from South Vietnam were explicitly linked to the military coup. The tapes reveal that plans for an American withdrawal were created in the context of NSC deliberations on the coup; they became a feature of diplomatic maneuvers to induce Diem to oust Nhu.
* The specific U.S. policy choice that Kennedy made--to send Secretary McNamara and General Maxwell D. Taylor on a diplomatic mission to Saigon in September 1963--was prefigured in these NSC discussions. The tapes show that their mission, designed to pressure Diem to get rid of Nhu, originated as a maneuver to achieve the U.S. goal by diplomacy while the South Vietnamese generals recruited more supporters for a coup move.
All these points bear on important aspects of our understanding of the Vietnam war. For example, the tapes' discussion of the purposes for planning an American withdrawal from South Vietnam weakens claims by some that President Kennedy all along intended to get out of the conflict. Though JFK expresses doubts--in the Oval Office on August 29 Kennedy tells his inner circle, "We're up to our hips in mud out there"--the president never forthrightly rejects the Vietnam commitment. In fact Kennedy tells the same group shortly afterwards that while Congress might get "mad" at the U.S. sidling up to the Vietnamese generals, "they'll be madder if Vietnam goes down the drain." President Kennedy's emphasis indicates his determination to fight the war, not abandon it.

Thirtieth Anniversary of NATO's Dual-Track Decision The Road to the Euromissiles Crisis and the End of the Cold War
Thirty years ago, on 12 December 1979, NATO defense and foreign ministers made a landmark decision designed to unify the alliance, but which also contributed to the collapse of détente and helped provide an agenda for the end of the Cold War. On the anniversary of the NATO "dual-track" decision that linked U.S. deployments of long-range theater nuclear forces (LRTNF) to proposals for negotiations with Moscow over those and Soviet forces, the National Security Archive publishes for the first time a selection of declassified U.S. documents that record some of the key developments in the U.S. and NATO decision-making processes.
NATO leaders saw the "dual-track" decision as a response to Soviet long-range forces targeting Europe and as a way ultimately to roll them back, yet the Soviet leadership saw the NATO plan as a threatening escalation of the nuclear arms race. The NATO decision to deploy 572 ground-launched cruise missiles (GLCM) and Pershing II missiles in Western Europe contributed to the deterioration of East-West relations and triggered the "Euromissiles crisis," involving anti-nuclear campaigns and mass demonstrations in Western Europe.
The Carter administration played a central role supporting the NATO decisions, but it did not quickly agree to support the GLCM and Pershing II deployments, ultimately concluding that political and diplomatic imperatives made them necessary. Thus, Washington helped shape a consensus in NATO for a policy that integrating deployments and arms control strategies. While many important U.S. and NATO documents on these developments remain secret, U.S. government declassification decisions make it possible to get a better sense of the "dual-track" process, including the very important alliance consultations.
In this anniversary year of the "dual-track" decisions, several international conferences have already taken place (and more are planned). The most recent event, "The Euromissiles Crisis and the End of the Cold War, 1977-1987," -- http://wwellicenter.net/dualtrackinrome/w.machiav -- co-sponsored by the Machiavelli Center for Cold War Studies -- www.machiavellicenter.net/ -- the National Security Archive, and the Cold War International History Project, among other organizations, is taking place this week, 10-12 December, in Rome, Italy, on the anniversary of the NATO decision. The conference has a wide-ranging agenda, with the participants looking closely at diplomatic issues, military policy developments, anti-nuclear movements, and the broader implications of the dual-track decisions for both the collapse of détente and the end of the Cold War.

British Diplomatic Oral History Programme
Citaat
The Diplomatic Oral History Programme (BDOHP) established with the approval and co-operation of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) creates a valuable new body of research material for the study of British diplomatic history.
A indexed catalogue to transcripts of the BDOHP interviews is available on the Janus webserver (which contains catalogues of archives and manuscripts held in Cambridge), while the transcripts themselves are available below.
This material, which is being preserved and conserved at the Churchill Archives Centre in Cambridge, offers unparalleled insights into how British diplomats function and what really happened at crucial moments in their careers. It affords a unique account of important, and often unrecorded, events in international relations. It is increasingly recognised as a source of raw material by scholars, writers, journalists and researchers.
The BDOHP interviews former diplomats or other officials who have played a significant role in events bearing on international relations. The tendency towards greater openness in government has strengthened in recent years. Interviewees are encouraged by their interviewers to be candid and not to allow their instinctive respect for confidentiality to inhibit a frank description of what it is they have contributed to British diplomacy. They are however assured that what they say will not be published or put into the public domain without their permission or prior FCO clearance.(bron: BDOHP )

Klapschaats claimen
Het Amerikaans patent voor de klapschaats kunt u hier: uitvinders volgens dit document zijn Peter Edauw uit Italië en Stephane Logger uit Delft. Volgens Wikipedia en de Volkskrant is Prof. dr. Gerrit Jan van Ingen Schenau van de VU de uitvinder.
@jRRT stuurt n.a.v. dit bericht de volgende Twitter:
En volgens dat patent is het ene Karel Hannes. Wie het weet mag het zeggen. Het claimen begint op de uitvinding van de boekdrukkunst te lijken: Mainzer Johannes Gutenberg <> Laurens Janszoon Coster <>Dirk Martens. Terwijl Chinezen het zeker weten dat zij het eerste boeken konden drukken.
Verder heb ik er geen verstand van. Kwam dat Amerikaans patent toevallig tegen bij een andere speurtocht.

Bizar! Village will commemorate the family it allowed to starve to death
The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has persuaded a village to commemorate a family starved to death on its green in 1769, ending a 240-year silence.
Following an approach by the RSC, the village of Datchworth in Hertfordshire, 20 miles north of London, has agreed to raise a plaque recalling the lives, and the terrible deaths, of the Eaves family.
Tonight the Parochial Church Council of the village near Welwyn Garden City is expected to agree to create a monument after hearing a case made by its vicar, the Reverend Coralie McCluskey.
The bodies of James Eaves and his wife, one of their two sons and an infant daughter were discovered naked and skeletal on straw in a filthy parochial Poor House, a hovel bereft of roof and window panes.
Crawling amongst their corpses was found their surviving 11-year-old son, who descended into insanity from which he was not to recover.
The macabre episode is recalled only vaguely in the village by a ghost story there about a cart transporting their bodies up local lanes.
The RSC met the vicar last week proposing a memorial after it had located in the British Library a grim personal description and a drawing of the death scene, accompanied by a damning indictment of the officers whose neglect had led to the tragedy.
The vicar said this week: "We should have a memorial plaque in place in a few months hence, in our garden of remembrance. We will record the family names and the date of their deaths. I will also probably preach on the story one Sunday. I think that by doing this the village will be showing its respect and will also be able to lay a ghost."
She added: "In fact there is a story told here that a ghost cart containing the bodies makes its way up the lanes. Some people do believe it to be true."
The RSC took up the remarkable issue of the Eaves family when it came across the little-known story while researching the relationship between chemistry and food, its theme for 2009.

Operation Mexico: Secret Argentine Rendition Program Illuminated by Declassified Documents
As the case of "Operation Mexico"--death squad murders, disappearances and rendition efforts by the Argentine secret police--is presented to a court in Rosario, Argentina, the National Security Archive today posted a selection of records that corroborate the testimony of the only surviving witness, Jaime Dri. The documents were provided to a tribunal of five judges yesterday by Archive analyst Carlos Osorio who testified that "the records reveal how the Argentine dictatorship conducted its campaign of transnational terror in the 1970's."
"Operation Mexico" was the codename for a clandestine Argentine rendition program aimed at kidnapping and disappearing leaders of the Montoneros living in exile in Mexico City in the late 1970s. In 1978, members of that militant group who had already been taken prisoner and were being held in a clandestine prison in Rosario were forced to travel with intelligence agents to Mexico to identify their colleagues. The operation was intercepted and disrupted by Mexican authorities. To cover up the failed mission, the Argentine secret police executed 14 of the 15 prisoners who were aware of Operation Mexico.
The documents include a secret Argentine report that confirmed that Jaime Dri was the lone survivor of the prisoners who knew about the secret Mexico rendition mission. According to the document, "DRI JAIME 'Pelado'" was present when "the commission that accompanies 'TUCHO'" Valenzuela--one of the prisoners forced to accompany the intelligence operatives to Mexico City to identify his colleagues--"returned from Mexico."
The secret report was discovered by Osorio, who directs the Southern Cone Documentation Project at the National Security Archive, among papers at the Archivo del Terror in Paraguay. Osorio testified yesterday before Judge Otmar Paulucci, who heads the Federal criminal tribunal No. 1 in Rosario. The tribunal is currently hearing the "Guerrieri case," named for one of the members of the paramilitary unit "121" who is being prosecuted for executing 14 members of the Montoneros in a secret prison in Rosario.
In January 2008, the National Security Archive exposed "Operation Mexico," publishing declassified documents found in Mexican national archives from the Federal Directorate of Security. Those documents showed that Mexican security officers had arrested and interrogated two of the Argentine intelligence agents in January 1978 before deporting them and their two Montonero prisoners they had brought with them back to Argentina. The two were among those fourteen subsequently executed. Dri's account of "Operation Mexico" was described in the book Recuerdo de la Muerte, written by Argentine investigator Miguel Bonasso in 1994.
"These new documents complete the international triangulation of evidence from Mexico, Argentina and Paraguay," according to Osorio, "and confirm Argentina's bloody pursuit of cross border repression."

One hundred boxes of unnamed materials and documents found in the attic, crawl spaces and closets of the Washington County Courthouse needed to be preserved.
Five years later, a team of volunteers, using grants and small county appropriations, have inventoried, flattened, placed in numbered acid-free file folders, photographed and compiled on CD some 150,000 documents, including transactions and data from as far back as 1791.

Andalusian Parliament: documental search engine based on AI
Researchers of the University of Granada have developed an intelligent engine searcher to catalogue the documentary collections of theAndalusian Parliament. This prototype, so called SEDA, is an information recovery system for structured documents, based on artificial intelligence techniques, to search and recover documents belonging to the Parliamentary Report and the Official Gazette of the Andalusian Parliament.
This prototype has been developed under the auspices of the excellence project of the Andalusian Council, under the title "Intelligent System for the access to the Documentary Collections of the Andalusian Parliament", and has been led by doctor Luis Miguel de Campos Ibáñez, professor of the Department of Computer Sciences and Artificial Intelligence of the University of Granada. This project has had the participation of researchers of the UGR, as well as the University of Almeria, and staff fro the personal Official Publications Service and the Computing Service of the Andalusian Parliament.
The most relevant parts
The objective of the project was to develop a search engine for the official documents edited by the Parliament, with capacity to recover complete documents and to determine which parts are the most important when it comes to satisfy a search posed by a user. Instead of recovering a complete parliamentary report, it recovers the most relevant parts (for example, interventions of a parliament member specifically), avoiding a waste of time for the user looking for the relevant parts of a specific document.
To that end, the search system designed at the UGR uses artificial intelligence techniques, specifically based on Probabilistic Graphic Models.
Another interesting feature is that, besides the documentary pieces, the search engine can recover videos connected with the relevant parts, providing the user with two search resources (text and video) and turning it into a multimedia system.
With this software, the autonomous chamber becomes a pioneer institution in its field, from the viewpoint of search technologies, as it is the only one among the nineteen autonomous parliaments and the two national chambers, equipped with such system. In addition, the institution is also a pioneer in this field in Europe.
The researchers in charge of this project have presented it recently to the members of the Documentation Service of the European Parliament, to whom they have explained the details of this new system.

Jacobo Timerman Destabilized Argentine Dictatorship
30 years after the release of Jacobo Timerman, the former newspaper editor and Argentina's most famous political prisoner during the military dictatorship, the National Security Archive today posted declassified documents that confirm that his case almost resulted in the fracture of the military regime. One September 1979 document states, "President Videla, the civilian Minister of Justice, and the entire Supreme Court threatened to resign" if the military high command refused to release Jacobo Timerman. U.S. Ambassador Raúl Castro requested that Videla directly call President Jimmy Carter if Timerman was released "so the American President would be the first to know the fate of [a situation] of his high interest."
"The Timerman case reflects the struggle over human rights and freedom of the press in Argentina," said Carlos Osorio, director of the Southern Cone project at the National Security Archive. "For that reason it is imperative that all relevant documents in the U.S. and in Argentina be declassified and made available for public scrutiny."
A selection of 18 U.S. documents illustrates how the military used multiple legal pretexts to break up his newspaper, La Opinión, expropriate his other properties, strip him of his citizenship, and expel him from the country. After he was finally released and expelled from Argentina on September 25, 1979, Timerman recounted his experience in a best-selling book, Prisoner Without a Name, Cell Without a Number, which called international attention to the repression in Argentina.
As part of this collaborative project with the National Security Archive, the Provincial Commission for Memory in Argentina today is publishing a selection of secret documents on the Timerman case from the files of the Directorate of Buenos Aires Police Intelligence. In addition, the College of William and Mary is publishing a chronology of abuses committed against Jacobo Timerman.
