Speech #980241532

The law governing the Presidential papers of President Nixon requires the issuance of regulations to provide public access to the materials. The law permits either House of Congress to veto the regulations. Because the Supreme Court. in its decision entitled Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha [103 S.Ct. 2764 (1983)]. has declared the legislative veto to be unconstitutional. the veto provision in this statute is now invalid. The amendment preserves the right of Congress to review the regulations. even in the absence of a veto. by stipulating that the regulations could not take effect for 60 legislative days after they are submitted to the Congress.
