Emanuel Amendment Voted Down
The Emanuel amendment to the Financial Services/General Government appropriations bill, which would have defunded part of the Office of Vice President, failed by a vote of 209 to 217 (roll call). The amendment was an attempt to get the OVP to comply with a request for information regarding the US attorneys scandal (See this Think Progress post for more).
Correction: Vice President Cheney's claim was about classified material, which, under an executive order, a National Archives offices oversees (link).
