The Associated Press filed suit in federal court yesterday for full access to President Bush’s military service records. The White House says it released all records related to Bush’s service earlier this year. However, the administration has not responded to Freedom of Information Act requests for access to Bush’s microfilmed personnel file from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission in Austin. The records relate to Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard. The period is surrounded by controversy because he was working for an Arizona Senate candidate at the time and it is unclear whether he actually spent time in the Guard.
