House OKs Act To Preserve Important U.S. Recordings
The House of Representatives yesterday passed the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000, landmark legislation that would establish the first nationwide effort to preserve American sound recordings. The legislation, H.R. 4846, would create the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress
to identify and preserve culturally, aesthetically, or historically important recordings, and would authorize appropriations to the Library of up to $250,000 annually to carry out the program and create a private sector foundation to encourage and administer gifts from the public.
Additionally, the legislation calls for the establishment of the National Recording Preservation Board, consisting of NARAS officials, artists, members of Congress, experts in audio preservation, and other representatives of the music industry, to assist the Librarian of Congress in choosing the recordings.
Insiders say House passage should help approval of the Senate companion bill this fall.
