On the recordFebruary 26, 2003
If I understand correctly, you are reading that the internal work documents of a career attorney of the Solicitor General's Office in making recommendations on how to handle cases would not be something this Senate should try to investigate or to cause to be disclosed? In each of the cases you have discussed, either it was specific charges of misconduct about which very narrow documents were disclosed or general comments on politics such as the case of Justice Bork. And if you are agreeing with that, perhaps there is some progress we can make. It is my understanding the demand for disclosure is far broader than what you have just described.
