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.
