                    CHAPTER VII--LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
 
PART 703--AVAILABILITY OF LIBRARY OF CONGRESS RECORDS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 703.1  Policy.

    (a) Subject to limitations set out in this part, Library of Congress 
records shall be available as hereinafter provided and shall be 
furnished as promptly as possible within the Library to any member of 
the public at appropriate places and times and for an appropriate fee, 
if any.
    (b) The Library shall not provide records from its files that 
originate in another federal agency or non-federal organization to 
persons who may not be entitled to obtain the records from the 
originator. In such instances, the Library shall refer requesters to the

agency or organization that originated the records.
    (c) In order to avoid disruption of work in progress, and in the 
interests of fairness to those who might be adversely affected by the 
release of information which has not been fully reviewed to assure its 
accuracy and completeness, it is the policy of the Library not to 
provide records which are part of on-going reviews or other current 
projects. In response to such requests, the Library will inform the 
requester of the estimated completion date of the review or project so 
that the requester may then ask for the records. At that time, the 
Library may release the records unless the same are exempt from 
disclosure as identified in Sec. 703.4.
