White House told to provide email info

<A HREF="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080108/ap_on_go_pr_wh/white_house_e_mail">A federal magistrate ordered the White House</A> to reveal whether copies of possibly millions of missing emails are stored on computer backup tapes. The order by U.S. Magistrate Judge John Facciola comes amid an effort by the White House to scuttle two lawsuits that could force the Executive Office of the President to recover any email that has disappeared from computer servers where electronic documents are automatically archived.

Facciola gave the White House five business days to report whether computer backup tapes contain emails written between 2003 and 2005. Two federal laws require the White House to preserve all records including email.
