Records bill clears hurdle in the Senate

From the Kansas City Star:

A Senate committee on Wednesday approved a bill to override President Bush’s executive order granting presidents and former presidents more power to block the release of White House records. The White House has promised to veto the bill, but the House approved it in March by a veto-proof 333-93 margin, and similar overwhelming approval is expected in the Senate.
