Civil Rights Commission Website Purges Bush-Unfriendly Reports

The homepage of the US Commission on Civil Rights website now contains this disclaimer in tiny type:

On January 7th, 2005, the Commission adopted a new policy on the public release and posting of reports and Commission documents. To comply with that new policy, the website has been updated and several draft reports that failed to receive a majority of Commissioners' votes have been removed. Those reports are available upon request.

I requested one of these reports yesterday, and so far I haven't heard back.So exactly which reports are gone? The site lists them here, and they all deal with topics probably not appreciated by the Republican Commissioners, who form a majority (including the Chairman).
