Bill Burkett, a retired National Guard officer from Texas, has been
cited in reports in Newsweek and The New York Times as a source for CBS'
report.

Burkett, 55, told The Associated Press in February that he had overheard
a conversation in 1997 between then-Gov. Bush's chief of staff, Joe
Allbaugh, and then-Adjutant Gen. Daniel James of the Texas Air National
Guard in which the two men spoke about getting rid of any military
records that would "embarrass the governor."

Burkett said he saw documents from Bush's file discarded in a trash can
a few days later at Camp Mabry in Austin, Texas. Burkett described them
as performance and pay documents. He said the documents bore the
header: "Bush, George W. 1lt." - meaning first lieutenant.
