Problem:SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Background Security Records Act of
1996''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The procedures used by the White House and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation to protect the privacy and security of
records containing sensitive background security information
have been inadequate to provide that protection.
(2) Under chapter 22 of title 44, United States Code,
popularly known as the ''Presidential Records Act of 1978'',
upon the conclusion of a President's term of office the
Archivist of the United States assumes responsibility for all
Presidential records, including records that were provided by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation and that contain sensitive
background security information on individuals having access to
the White House.
(3) The Archivist is required to deposit all such
Presidential records in a Presidential archival depository or
other archival facility. Thereafter, the records are not
readily available to an incoming President for use to review
the security of individuals who have a continuing need for
access to the White House, including permanent employees of the
White House.
(4) After deposit in a Presidential archival depository or
other archival facility, such records and the sensitive
background information they contain are eventually available to
researchers, cannot be restricted from the public for more than
12 years, and therefore are not afforded the level of privacy
and security which are appropriate for these sensitive records.
(5) To request such files from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation or to otherwise review the security of
individuals who have a continuing need for access to the White
House, the White House needs accurate lists of all individuals
employed by, detailed to, or otherwise having a continuing need
for access to the White House.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to ensure that Federal
Bureau of Investigation records containing sensitive background
security information that are provided to the White House are properly
protected for privacy and security.
