I believe that I am correct in stating that many of these records are already at the National Archives.  I recall finding some information there close to 30 years ago when I visited in person, when records were still on microfilm.  If I am wrong, I hope someone will correct me. 

Regardless, the fee increases are outrageous.  I appreciate Renee for bringing them to everyone's attention.  This is the issue, not how SIGs are operated.
