DemocracyNow AWOL-Gate: Records Scrubbed 1997

[seemslikeadream]

As scrutiny increases over President Bush's National Guard record, we talk with longtime Texan journalist James Moore, author of the forthcomming Bush's Was For Re-election. The book reports that a Lt. Col. Bill Burkett overheard Bush aides ask the head of the Texan National Guard to throw out portions of his military record.

The Memphis Flyer reports that Alabama guardsmen knew a prominent Texan had requested a transfer to their unit and were eager to meet him, but he never showed up.

4. There is a hard copy file

it's called a military personel records jacket and when you are discharged and when it is committeed to microfise and then one is sent to Air Resevere in Denver and the other to St. Louis. I have a statement from Charles Peligreny that these have not been altered in any way and by the way it is a federal offense to change. If we could get that to the general public we would get to the heart of the matter.
