White House memo sealed visitor logs

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The White House and the Secret Service quietly signed an agreement in the spring in the midst of the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal declaring that records identifying visitors to the White House are not open to the public. The Bush administration didn't reveal the existence of the memorandum of understanding until fall. The White House is using it to deal with a ruling by a federal judge ordering the disclosure of Secret Service logs identifying visitors to the office of Vice President Dick Cheney.
