President Joe Biden plans to take action on land protections, clemency and artificial intelligence in the final weeks of his administration, according to a memo to allies, as he looks to codify his legacy before Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The steps are the latest as Biden races to tie off key files before a transfer of power that could reverse many of them. The memo, drafted by White House communications director Ben LaBolt, lays out a defense of the Biden record and says that some of the efforts are years away from full bloom.
