Issues
In the report filed for 1991, two related issues arose. First, it is difficult and yet paramount to know at its creation how much enduring value a document will have. An obvious solution to this problem would be to implement a system where all paper was permanent paper. Here we meet the second issue: permanent paper, in 1991, cost 30% more than acidic paper, thus making such a system not feasible. A recommendation was made to use a cheap but still alkaline paper for all publishing and permanent paper for the publishing of materials with known enduring value.

Famous quotes containing the word issues:
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“I can never bring you to realize the importance of sleeves, the suggestiveness of thumb-nails, or the great issues that may hang from a boot-lace.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“Cynicism formulates issues clearly, but only to dismiss them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
