I would not want to be the one who has to sift through 3 million pieces of governmental drivel<\/a>:<\/p>\n

During last week’s Democratic presidential debate, Hillary Clinton faced tough questions about why so many of her papers at her husband’s presidential library in Little Rock, Ark., are still secret-and her answers have only invited more questions. Clinton said during the debate that one chunk of records, from her days heading up her husband’s health-care task force, had been released. “Now, all of the records, as far as I know, about what we did with health care, those are already available,” she said. But National Archives documents obtained by NEWSWEEK and interviews with Archives officials indicate that the vast majority of the Clintons’ health-care task-force records are still under lock and key in Little Rock-and might stay that way for some time.
\nIn a letter last year responding to a Freedom of Information Act request by the conservative group Judicial Watch, Melissa Walker, supervisory archivist of the Clinton Presidential Library, wrote that archivists had identified 3,022,030 still-unreleased health-care documents, along with 2,884 e-mails and 1,021 photos covered by the group’s request. Archives officials at the Clinton library have yet to process the Judicial Watch request or release the several million pages of task-force documents, including many key internal memos written by Mrs. Clinton and her advisers about how to restructure the health-care industry. This prompted the group to file a new lawsuit last week demanding their immediate disclosure. “This doesn’t pass the giggle test,” said Christopher Farrell, the group’s research director, about Clinton’s statement that “all” of her health-care records had been released.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
