#ad1 #bjai,mr4 ,rouda submitted the     
following concurrent resolution2 which  
was referred to the ,committee on       
,oversight and ,reform  ,,concurrent    
,,resolution  ,recognizing the necessity
 of preserving official and unofficial  
records of meetings between the         
,president of the ,united ,states and   
foreign leaders1 for the purposes of    
promoting transparency and the national 
security of the ,united ,states of      
,america4  ,whereas chapter #bb of title
 #dd1 ,united ,states ,code 7commonly   
known as the ,presidential ,records ,act
 of #aigh71 states that the records of  
the ,president and the ,president's     
staff belong to the ,american people1   
not the ,president2 ,whereas the        
,presidential ,records ,act of #aigh    
requires the ,president to document     
official activities and preserve all    
documentary materials produced or       

received by the ,president1 the         
,president's staff1 or units or         
individuals in the ,executive ,office of
 the ,president2 ,whereas the ,act      
defines the term documentary material as
 all books1 correspondence1 memoranda1  
documents1 papers1 pamphlets1 works of  
art1 models1 pictures1 photographs1     
plats1 maps1 films1 and motion pictures1
 including1 but not limited to1 audio   
and visual records1 or other electronic 
or mechanical recordations1 whether in  
analog1 digital1 or any other form2     
,whereas the ,act was passed in response
 to ,president ,nixon's claim that he   
owned the tape recordings in his office1
 an assertion rejected by the ,supreme  
,court2 the ,act consequently states    
that all files of the ,president must be
 preserved2 ,whereas1 according to      
numerous reports1 ,president ,trump has 
torn up or otherwise destroyed records2 
,whereas ,president ,trump reportedly   
seized the notes of an interpreter      
following a #bjag meeting with          

,president ,vladimir ,putin of ,russia2 
and ,whereas1 consequently1 senior      
,administration officials and ,congress 
do not have knowledge of what ,president
 ,trump told ,mr4 ,putin3 ,now1         
therefore1 be it  ,that it is the sense 
of ,congress that-- 7#a7 the ,president 
must preserve all records relating to   
the foreign meetings of the ,president  
in order to ensure that the advisors of 
the ,president1 ,congress1 and the      
,american people may have access to     
information regarding what transpired in
 those meetings1 especially in meetings 
with adversaries of the ,united ,states2
