I know I have seen it reported in various papers that Bush signed a form 180, though I think it was after the controversy in Feb/March, and it took until a month or two ago for all the records to be found. The BBC put scare quotes around "found", I remember that.

Here's some evidence for you - as various Dem spokesmen are calling for Bush's TANG service to be scrutinized (again), why aren't any of them calling for a full release of records, if there were any more to be had? I should think that settles the question that there are no more to be found.

<<I keep hearing conflicting things about Bush and the 180. The Dems say he didn't. I tried to find it online and came across a couple of blogger references to his signing it, but nothing firsthand. Is there any proof that he signed it?>>

I remember him signing it last Feb. and the releasing more records in June that were thought to have been burned. Like you, I have searched the net but have run into 2 problems.

1. In 1997 you could have run a Bush form 180 search and got 25 good articles, now you run the same and get 1,263,998 not worth a cow patty sites.

2. That was 6 months ago so the relevant articles have been archived. Yep, the papers want to charge you to search those archives.
