Government Appeals to Top Court on Cheney Task Force

Oct. 1 (Bloomberg) -- The Bush administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to shield the government from giving advocacy groups documents they seek in a suit claiming Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force was influenced by corporations.

A trial judge's order requiring the government to turn over the records would ``open the way for judicial supervision of internal executive branch deliberations,'' U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson said in an appeal to the Supreme Court.

Two advocacy groups, the Sierra Club and Judicial Watch, are seeking the documents in a suit that claims former Enron Corp. Chairman Kenneth Lay and other company executives improperly tried to influence administration energy policy. A federal appeals court in April refused to block the document disclosure.
