Released information includes many meetings between government policy makers and utility executives from Duke Energy Corp., UtiliCorp United , Exelon Corp and others.

Another suit has been filed by Judicial Watch, the conservative government watchdog group, regarding additional task force documents.Several other government agencies released documents on Monday: the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of the Interior, the Agriculture Department, and the White House Office of Management and Budget. White House energy policy director Andrew Lundquist announced last week that he will resign from his post to pursue a position in industry.President Bush says he will fight to retain other documents that have been requested.
