[Bessig] Data Rescue and the shutdown

[Jeff de La Beaujardiere]

My understanding is that those "data rescue" operations were focused on
limited, small, summary-level results published on government web pages,
rather than on multi-petabyte archival holdings (which are already well
protected against accidental or deliberate loss).

Regards,
Jeff DLB
