I think it was Reagan that first started the practice of sealing presidential records. He did this by E.O. 12667. Presidents carried on the practice and one of the first EO's by the new president is sealing records and at the same time canceling the previous president's EO. Conservatives have used this sealed records gambit to create distrust of Obama. It's another version of the birth certificate thing.
