 GD> Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978

 GD> such provision states "Establishes in law that any incumbent
 GD> Presidential records (whether textual or electronic) held on courtesy
 GD> storage by the Archivist  remain in the exclusive legal custody of the

Of course, we can expect that you will either cherry pick or only read
until you find something that you think supports your position.  Notice
the word "incumbent" in what you quoted.

The very next bullet point next to the one you quoted says:
"Establishes that Presidential records automatically transfer into the
legal custody of the Archivist as soon as the President leaves office".
