"Today's NIH repository and the data access provisions of NSF grants were established by acts of Congress in the late 1990s.

Worse, far from strengthening open access to publications and data, some in Congress want to reverse them. The current effort owes much to lobbying by academic publishers, and large campaign donations from officers and employees of those publishers to key Congressmen."
