TIMES WIRE REPORTS

The Obama administration must be given copies of documents the Bush White House has been withholding from Congress on the firings of nine U.S. attorneys, U.S. District Judge John Bates ruled.

The House Judiciary Committee has sought the documents as part of an investigation that led to the resignation of Atty. Gen. Alberto Gonzales.

The Bush administration contended that it was required to give the documents to the National Archives. The House panel wanted them left at the White House.
