Leahy and Conyers Want To Enforce Subpoenas Bush Has Blocked

The next day, the committee chairmen sent the White House an angry letter asking for a full explanation of its claim of executive privilege, along with documentation. The letter set Monday as the deadline for its request.

Leahy and Conyers said in their June 29 letter that whether or not the White House met the deadline, "we will take the necessary steps to rule on your privilege claims and appropriately enforce our subpoenas backed by the full force of law."
