# [drf:208] Fwd: [SOAF] URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Tell your Senator to OPPOSE amendments that strike or change the NIH public access provision in the FY08 Labor/HHS appropriations bill

    DRFの皆様

    　金沢　内島です。（もう、ご存知の方々はご容赦下さい）

    　以前このリストでも紹介された、米国の国立衛生研究所（National Institute of Health=NIH)
    のオープンアクセスイニシャチブですが、明日上院の委員会で議決があるようです。しかし、オク
    ラホマの上院議員から修正案が２つ提出され、怪しい雲行きのようです。アメリカ時間で月曜日に
    投票が行なわれ、帰趨が決まるとのことです。おそらく背景には激しい出版者側のロビー活動があ
    ったことでしょう。PRISMという出版者側の反OAイニシャチブも開始され、出版者内部でも物議をか
    もしているところです。（複数の大学出版部などがPRISMに賛同できないと表明していた）

    　NIHは、同研究所の助成金による研究成果（ポストプリント）を全て１２ヶ月以内にPubMed Central
    にポストすることを義務化する提案を提出し、下院の予算委員会では通過していたところです。

    　http://www.openaccessjapan.com/2007/07/nih-11.html

    　NIHの提案が通れば、日本のライフサイエンス系の研究者にとってはなくてはならないPubMedに
    全文コンテンツが（かなり大規模に）付随することになり、その影響は大変大きいものだと思い
    ます。米国の最大のオープンアクセス運動がこのNIHの義務化法案でしょうか？

    URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Tell your Senator to
    OPPOSE amendments that strike or change the NIH
    public access provision in the FY08 Labor/HHS appropriations bill
    --------------------------------

    The Senate is currently considering the FY08
    Labor-HHS Bill, which includes a provision
    (already approved by the House of Representatives
    and the full Senate Appropriations Committee),
    that directs the NIH to change its Public Access
    Policy so that participation is required (rather
    than requested) for researchers, and ensures
    free, timely public access to articles resulting
    from NIH-funded research. On Friday, Senator
    Inhofe (R-OK), filed two amendments (#3416 and
    #3417), which call for the language to either be
    stricken from the bill, or modified in a way that
    would gravely limit the policy痴 effectiveness.

    Amendment #3416 would eliminate the provision
    altogether. Amendment #3417 is likely to be
    presented to your Senator as a compromise that
    澱alances・the needs of the public and of
    publishers. In reality, the current language in
    the NIH public access provision accomplishes that
    goal. Passage of either amendment would seriously
    undermine access to this important public
    resource, and damage the community痴 ability to
    advance scientific research and discovery.

    Please contact your Senators TODAY and urge them
    to vote 哲O・on amendments #3416 and #3417.
    (Contact must be made before close of business on
    Monday, October 22).
