DASCHLE: BUSH SHOULD RELEASE HARKEN FILES AT SEC, INTEGRITY QUESTIONED abcnews.go.com "Daschle also called on Bush to release SEC information regarding his sale of stock while a director of Texas-based Harken Energy Corp. . The SEC investigated Bush in 1991 for being up to 34 weeks late in reporting stock sales worth more than $1 million but concluded he did not engage in illegal insider trading. Bush's father was president at the time. "The president would do well to ask the SEC to release the file -- release it all. Let everyone see just what is there," Daschle said. "There have been some real questions I think about what happened." The White House blamed a "mix-up" by company lawyers for Bush's failure to comply with the stock sale disclosure rules more than a decade ago. The South Dakota Democrat said Bush's comparing what he had done to driving 60 mph in a 55 mph zone was "illustrative of this permissive environment and this attitude about business that is very destructive and very disconcerting to many of us." "That is the kind of thing that got us into the trouble in the first place, winking at regulation," he said.
