The Washington Post is reporting that the Defense Department has requested for President Bush’s payroll records from his service in the National Guard be sent to Washington from a Pentagon archive in Colorado. According to the Post the Pentagon plans to review the files to determine whether they can be released to news organizations and public interest groups that have formally requested them in recent days. No evidence has yet to emerge that President Bush reported for duty between May 1972 and May 1973. On Sunday Bush said he served his time and this can be proven because he was honorably discharged. Meanwhile the Boston Globe is reporting today that it has obtained two new documents that showed Bush received credit for attending Air National Guard drills in the fall of 1972 and spring of 1973 a period when his commanders have said he did not appear for duty at bases in Montgomery, Ala., and Houston. According to the Globe the documents seem unlikely to resolve questions about whether Bush shirked his duty because some of the dates on the service list fell during a period in the fall of 1972 when Bush was reassigned to a guard unit in Alabama. The commander of the Alabama unit has said Bush did not appear for duty at his assigned unit there.
