ShareThis March 29, 2010 9:59 a.m. EST Topics: politics, civil, lobbying, crime, law and justice, laws, United States Kris Alingod - AHN News Contributor Washington, DC, United States (AHN) - The Obama administration has released the largest set of White House visitor logs to date. The release is part of an agreement to settle four lawsuits filed by a watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). The administration released nearly 120,000 records created in December, putting the total number of logs it has released to 250,000. The records can be viewed in the disclosures section of the White House website. President Barack Obama last September reversed a policy of the Bush administration, making records of White House visitors available to the public on an ongoing basis. Logs from the previous 90 to 120 days are released online every month by the administration. Exempted from the disclosure is a small group of appointments that cannot be disclosed in the interests of national security or because their visits are confidential, such as a visit by a possible Supreme Court nominee, according to the White House. CREW had made Freedom of Information Act requests asking the Obama administration to release records of healthcare and coal executives to find out how much influence these officials had on the government. The requests were made last year as the Obama administration was pushing for Congress to pass healthcare reform and climate change legislation. The Obama administration initially refused to turn over records, according to the non-profit group. Before that, CREW filed a lawsuit seeking information from the Bush administration about how frequently nine conservative religious leaders, including James Dobson and Jerry Falwell, visited the White House. The group had filed a lawsuit questioning the validity of a 2006 memorandum of agreement between then-President George W. Bush and the Secret Service, which creates the logs, that visitors to the White House compound were not to be publicly disclosed. A week before Bush left office in 2009, a federal judge ruled in favor of CREW, rejecting arguments that invoked executive privilege, and that declared the logs exempt from the Freedom of Information Act. The ruling also said the Secret Service had destroyed visitor records before 2004 upon orders of the Bush administration, in violation of the Federal Records Act.
