Seems to me that Reagon and Clinton both drug their feet whenever turning over to congress and such documents. Seem to recall the the Clintons happened to stumble on some papers about 3 or 4 years after they where requested. I believe that the papers concerned the proposed universal insurance mandates that the Clinton's wanted to force down everyones throats. Reagon's little tiff with congress was over the Iran/Contra Scandel. Same story everytime, just a different president.
Seems to me you recall correctly, and I never denied this.
The issue isn't the trickiness of Bush Sr or Clinton, or the squall Reagan had, but that these preceding administrations had left Carter's Presidential Order in place. It was policy. It was a goal, a statement of purpose. Now, the administration has publically reversed policy. As I see it, it's like the difference between a somewhat rocky but workable marriage, and a declaration by one partner that they're going to separate and file for divorce.
