INFORMATION OVERLOAD

The White House today complained that "overzealous" congressional staffers are trying to "intimidate" and "harass" the Administration with frequent, voluminous information requests. Presidential spokesman Mike McCurry singled out House demands for reams of information on theMexico bailout.TIME White House correspondent James Carneysays the charge may take some of the sting out of a letter that House Republicans were about to send complaining about the Administration's unresponsiveness. McCurry may also have been provoked by a House-Senate conference committee's threat to block loans to Mexico.
