From an April 8 White House press release:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/04/20040408-2.html

"The President intends to nominate Allen Weinstein, of Maryland, to be
Archivist of the United States. Dr. Weinstein currently works at the
International Foundation for Elections Systems as Senior Advisor for
Democratic Institutions and Director of its Center for Democratic
Initiatives. He previously served as President of The Center for Democracy
in Washington, D.C. Earlier in his career, Dr. Weinstein was a Professor at
Boston University, Georgetown University and Smith College. He earned his
bachelor's degree from Columbia College and his master's and Ph.D. from
Yale University."

There has been some discussion of this on the Archivists and Archives list

The National Coalition for History sent out Carlin's announcement to the
staff and some biographical information about Weinstein (the url may break
