Some documents surfaced to answer charges of Bush's AWOL status. Not enough clarity yet. AP had to file an FOIA to get these. However...
The newly released records do not include any from five categories of documents Bush's commanders had been required to keep in response to the gaps in Bush's training in 1972 and 1973. For example, National Guard commanders were required to perform an investigation whenever any pilot skipped a medical exam and forward the results up the Air Force chain of command. No such documents have surfaced.
