The White House on Thursday again refused a Congressional request to turn over documents used in the formation of President Bush's national energy plan.

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) has sought the documents for months, always being rebuffed. With the disclosure of Enron's ties to the Bush administration, and that company executives met with Vice President Dick Cheney and his staff over the formation of the energy policy, pressure has increased to release information.

The General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, could sue Cheney to get the documents. GAO was nearing a suit before September 11's terrorist attacks.
