CLINTON WAIVES CONFIDENTIALITY

Former President Clinton has waived his right to withhold Presidential records reflecting confidential advice, the Associated Press reported, in a move that should expedite public access to such records.

"I believe that the more information we can make available to scholars, historians and the general public, the better informed people will be about the formulation of public policy and the decision-making process at the White House," Clinton said in response to written questions.

See "Ex-President Clinton to Reveal Advice Info" by Brian Skoloff, Associated Press, January 31:

Under Executive Order 13233 of November 1, 2001, however, President Bush asserted a right to block the release of records from prior Administrations even if a past President authorized their disclosure.

So, Bush may continue to block release of Clinton era info... just as he has also blocked release of all Presidential info from the administrations of his father and Reagan.

Apparently, the public doesn't have a right to know....
