18 Jun 2007 // “We are gratified that the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform responded to CREW’s March 15th request for an investigation of the White House's use of outside Republican National Committee (RNC) email accounts for possible violations of the Presidential Records Act (PRA). CREW had sent a letter to Chairman Waxman explaining that White House officials’ use of RNC emails likely violated the PRA. We are not surprised to learn that the use of RNC email accounts was far more widespread than the White House has previously admitted.

We hope the Committee will continue its inquiry not only into the violations of the PRA, but also will investigate the even more serious issue of the over five million emails missing from the White House's own internal email system.”
