Destroy Order Reportedly Sent in Texas

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Texas Department of Public Safety captains were ordered to destroy all records gathered in the search for Democratic legislators who fled the state in a successful effort to prevent a redistricting bill from passing, according to a published report.
The one-paragraph order, sent by e-mail, was obtained Tuesday by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram under the Texas Open Records Act.

Also Tuesday, officials were asked to disclose how federal resources were used at state troopers' request to help track the plane of former state House Speaker Pete Laney when he and other Democrats didn't show up for the Texas House session May 12.
Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said he would review the decision to withhold information about his agency's involvement. He said there is an internal investigation into the matter.
The DPS directive sent May 14 was apparently carried out, said Tom Vinger, an agency spokesman. It came one day before Democrats ended their boycott and returned to Texas.
The order, addressed to ``Captains,'' stated: ``Any notes, correspondence, photos, etc. that were obtained pursuant to the absconded House of Representative members shall be destroyed immediately. No copies are to be kept.''
It was signed by the commander of the DPS Special Crimes Service, L.C. Marshall, the newspaper reported Wednesday.
``That's unbelievable,'' state Rep. Kevin Bailey, chairman of the House General Investigating Committee, which is looking into law enforcement's role in the search. He was one of the 51 Democrats who fled to Ardmore, Okla., during the walkout.
``I'm appalled. It would appear as though there is something to hide,'' Bailey told the newspaper. ``The question is who was driving them so hard.''
Vinger disagreed that the order to destroy records was inappropriate. He said he could not say who, if anyone, gave Marshall the order to destroy records.
``The investigation was complete. Since this was not a criminal investigation, we feel it would be inappropriate to keep any files,'' Vinger told the newspaper. Asked if all the records were indeed destroyed, Vinger said, ``To the best of my knowledge, yeah.''
feel better about yourself now?
I felt pretty okay about myself before, thanks.
