Monday morning, the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas, released about 800 pages of old White House records having to do with relations between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.

There are no plans to have the records up on the Web anytime soon, I'm told. However, the National Archives, which runs the library, does have an official archivists' description of the files. I've posted that below.

Archvists say one notable item is a letter from famous defense attorney F. Lee Bailey (since disbarred) on behalf of Mohammed al-Fassi (since deceased) a member of the Saudi royal family whose garish mansion stirred controversy in Los Angeles.

Random note: back in college, I did some reporting on the exploits of al-Fassi's brother-in-law, Prince Turki. That was during the Bush 41 administration. I wonder if anything on Turki's troubles at Harvard made it into the White House's files.
