Graham noted that, for example, the Internet Archive is currently the only place the public can find a copy of an interactive timeline detailing the events of Jan. 6. The timeline is a product of the congressional committee that investigated the Capitol attack, and has since been taken down from their website. Graham said it's in the public's interest to save such records.

"How much money did our tax dollars pay to make it?" he said, referring to the timeline and committee proceedings. "It was a non-trivial exercise and it's part of our history--and for that reason alone, worthy of preservation and worthy of exploration, of understanding."
