Cheney must preserve records of time in office, U.S. judge rules

Had sought to exclude VP's office from reach of Presidential Records Act

A U.S. federal judge on Saturday ordered Vice-President Dick Cheney to preserve a wide range of records from his time in office.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly is a setback for the Bush administration, which has been pushing for a narrow definition of materials that must be safeguarded under the Presidential Records Act.

The judge said the administration's legal position "heightens the court's concern" that some records may not be preserved.
