The Price of Loyalty The Bush Files
"These documents are drawn from a collection of
19,000 files of Paul H. O'Neill, the U.S. Treasury Secretary for the first two
years of the Presidency of George W. Bush. Like all Treasury Secretaries,
O'Neill was the top domestic appointment of the President and also a principal
of the National Security Council. The files, which range from memoranda to the
President to handwritten notes to "sensitive" internal reports, cover a
sweeping array of foreign and domestic issues. They also display the attending
political and personal matters that often determine policy. They were
collected as part of a Treasury Department archiving process in which every
item that crossed O'Neill's desk, from every department in government, was
copied into a TIF, or image, file. Documents cited in the "The Price of
Loyalty" are presented with explanations of context and little comment."
