Washington, D.C. – Ahead of tomorrow’s House Administration Committee markup of H.R. 6028, the Legislative Branch Agencies Clarification Act, Re:Create is continuing to raise concerns over the bill.
“The proposed separation of the Library of Congress and the Copyright Office would mean the dissolution of a vital institutional partnership that has existed since the USCO’s inception,” said Executive Director Brandon Butler. “Like the restructuring of a multi-billion dollar corporation, the stakes in potentially pulling apart these massive, interdependent agencies are immense, except that here, the currency is not just capital, but the preservation of our nation’s culture, innovation, and history.”
