The Oversight Committee has been investigating whether White House officials violated
the Presidential Records Act by using e-mail accounts maintained by the Republican
National Committee and the Bush Cheney ‘04 campaign for official White House
communications. This interim staff report provides a summary of the evidence the
Committee has received to date, along with recommendations for next steps in the
investigation.

The information the Committee has received in the investigation reveals:

The number of White House officials given RNC e-mail accounts is
higher than previously disclosed.

White House officials made extensive use of their RNC e-mail accounts.

There has been extensive destruction of the e-mails of White House
officials by the RNC.

There is evidence that the Office of White House Counsel under Alberto
Gonzales may have known that White House officials were using RNC
e-mail accounts for official business, but took no action to preserve
these presidential records.
