visitor-records/

What do you do when there are public records showing the details of  
visits by a corrupt lobbyist and his associates? If you're the Bush  
White House, you do what you do best: make them disappear!

 From the AP:

The White House and the Secret Service quietly signed an agreement  
last spring in the midst of the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal  
declaring that records identifying visitors to the White House  
complex are not subject to public disclosure….

The five-page document dated May 17 declares that all entry and exit  
data on White House visitors belongs to the White House as  
presidential records rather than to the Secret Service as agency  
records. Therefore, the agreement states, the material is not subject  
to public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
