<\/a>The Republican, Editorial<\/p>\n

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, President Bush was inside Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Fla., to promote his education reform when he learned that America was under attack.<\/p>\n

This was a day that changed the Bush presidency and the nation’s history.<\/p>\n

Scholars and archivists will one day travel to the Bush presidential library on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas to learn more about the nation’s leaders and the decisions they made on that day.<\/p>\n

The history textbooks and papers that they will write after visiting the Bush library might very well be incomplete.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 1, 2001, less than two months after the attacks, Bush issued an executive order that allows former presidents to keep some of their papers secret indefinitely.<\/p>\n

This executive order violates the Presidential Records Act of 1978, legislation that guarantees public access to papers 12 years after a president has left office.<\/p>\n
