I don't have a direct quote, but Tom has been working with key people in the Flash scene to try and preserve everything they can! A few years back Newgrounds launched Swivel, which seamlessly converts Flash movies into formats that will be preserved. They have gone through almost every popular video on the site and converted it to offer both the old .swf format, and the newer format.
The larger issue is definitely the games though! I haven't heard any word on this lately, so I don't know the status. But the plan is come up with a solution to preserve these key pieces of internet history as well. If anyone is skilled at that sort of thing, or has any sort of contribution to make, definitely reach out to Tom!!
