The Truman Library is run by NARA, a federal agency, and quoth Wikipedia: "Most of the documents in the care of NARA are in the public domain, as works of the federal government are excluded from copyright protection." Jpatokal 16:56, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Agreed -- this article is plagiarized.

I came here to add the same comment. This is definitely a direct plagiarism of the Truman library site. Someone should work on reworking it, for sure. AaronL 16:52, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

When an administrator gets the chance, the earlier verion(s) needs to be expunged. Perspicacite 04:28, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PAge

Does this really need a wikipedia page? All it says is that the phrase was popularized by Truman... Not enough to deserve a page...DarkAvenger280 05:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree - I came to this page thinking I'd get some explanation for what the phrase means, exactly.--Pittsburghmuggle 11:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

Since they are both stubs and are closely related, The buck stops here could easily be merged into Buck Passing. Thoughts? munboy 02:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
