Roosevelt's 'day of infamy' speech enters sound archive

WASHINGTON -- An eclectic collection of 25 recordings deemed among the most culturally important to the US were selected on Tuesday for preservation in a special sound archive, the National Recording Registry. Among recordings are: president Franklin D Roosevelt's December 8 1941 address to Congress to obtain a declaration of war against Japan the day after the Pearl Harbor attack; the Rolling Stones' most famous songs -- (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction; and Paul Simon's Graceland. Each year the Librarian of Congress chooses from recordings nominated by the public and a panel of experts.
