Officials Again Cite Executive Privilege

By Spencer S. Hsu and Carrie Johnson
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, June 21, 2008; Page A04

The Bush administration yesterday invoked executive privilege and refused to turn over key documents sought by a House investigative committee, escalating a fight over the White House role in U.S. policy on greenhouse-gas emissions and ozone air quality standards.

Rep. Henry L. Waxman (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, called off a threatened contempt of Congress vote against Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen L. Johnson and a White House budget official while congressional Democrats decide how to respond.

1. Its a long shot, but I heard the Dem leadership
might issue a formal Sense of Disappointment. They're talking about it being in the official record. DAYUM!

2. That's terrible. We can't even know information about the air that
we breath.
