Just to be clear - when Stevan talks about 'implementing that mandate' we
should remember that there is not, as yet, any such mandate in either
country.  In both cases it is, at this stage, simply a recommendation to
which a formal response is requested - in the USA, Senate has to approve
the Appropriations COmmittee's recommendation before it becomes binding on
NIH to mandate self-archiving, and in the UK the Government has to respond
to the Science & Technology Committee's recommendation that funding
councils should mandate self-archiving
