#NIH is still being stalled.

Quick update: @charles_gaba has completed uploading the archives of the full FDA site! Enjoy the easy of navigation.

Next up, we're converting the CDC archive to this more convenient drop-down menu format.

And after that, more archiving from more agencies.

List of CDC information that appears taken down so far:

1. CDC Atlas
2. CDC Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System
3. HRSA Target
4. Language removed for LGBT work
5. CDC Social Vulnerability Index
6. Environmental Justice
7. US Famine Early Warning System
