Monday morning, the George W. Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas released about 800 pages of former White House records morning 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.

2. "...whose garish mansion stirred controversy in Los Angeles."

OMFG, that just so hard to imagine now.

Today it would have to be built of baby seal pelts, over whale bone, by starving Sudanese kids to raise an eyebrow.
