["William Walsh" <libwdw@langate.gsu.edu>]

Rick,

The text of H.R. 3043 is available from THOMAS.  See section 217:

The Director of the National Institutes of Health shall require 
that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted 
for them to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central an 
electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon 
acceptance for publication, to be made publicly available no 
later than 12 months after the official date of publication: 
Provided, That the NIH shall implement the public access policy 
in a manner consistent with copyright law.
