From “NYC librarian nominated to become US archivist” on FederalNewsRadio.com:

“President Barack Obama (has) announced the nomination of David Ferriero to the run the National Archives and Records Administration. The 63-year-old Ferriero is the director of research libraries at the New York Public Library. As the nation’s top librarian, Ferriero would also oversee the release of government documents and presidential papers. Ferriero would succeed Allen Weinstein, who resigned as archivist in December.

Much of the questions at Mr. Ferriero’s confirmation hearing centered around agency records, how the Archives will manage them, and how Mr. Ferriero will direct NARA to work with agencies.
