GAO Denies Dropping Cheney Suit Due to Threats The New York Times February 25, 2003 nytimes.com By REUTERS The following is an excerpt: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - "The head of Congress' investigative arm denied on Tuesday that he had dropped a lawsuit against Vice President Dick Cheney because of Republican threats to cut his office's budget. But U.S. Comptroller General David Walker said there was one such ``thinly veiled threat'' last year by a lawmaker he wouldn't identify. In an interview with Reuters, Walker also criticized the federal judge in the case, saying U.S. District Judge John Bates had ``made up'' some facts in his December ruling that the General Accounting Office was not entitled to see documents from Cheney's 2001 task force on energy policy. Walker decided earlier this month not to appeal Bates' ruling, giving up a long battle between two branches of government and handing victory to the White House, which had argued that releasing the papers would harm its ability to get confidential advice."
