Department in the federal government so I am confident that he is responsible for the political editing of this report. Rove also routinely gives political seminars, including polling data to supervisors at different agencies to instruct them on how they can alter the results of their work to benefit Bush and the republican party.

Though Mr. Rove's clout within the administration often is celebrated, this episode offers a rare window into how he works behind the scenes to get things done. One of them is with periodic visits to cabinet departments. Over the past two years Mr. Rove or his top aide, Kenneth Mehlman -- now manager of Mr. Bush's re-election campaign -- have visited nearly every agency to outline White House campaign priorities, review polling data and, on occasion, call attention to tight House, Senate and gubernatorial races that could be affected by regulatory action.
