While this bill introduced by Representative John Conyers (D-MI) in the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary would deter open access, we are hopeful that the introduction of S. 1373 and S. Res. 118 indicate that some access policies are headed in a more “open” direction.	cache/crln-8240.pdf	txt/crln-8240.txt
