Admin Shuns Request to Disclose Health Exec Visits

HeadlineJul 22, 2009

The group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has asked the Secret Service to provide a list of eighteen industry executives who have visited the White House.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington says it plans to sue the administration for the records’ release.
