The Utah state archivist has decided that certain documents from former Gov. Mike Leavitt's administration will remain public.

The documents describe meetings at which Leavitt and others talked about Mormon principles in advance of his 1997 inaugural address.

Leavitt asked the state archivist to review their release after they were seen by The Salt Lake Tribune. A former Leavitt staffer, Natalie Gochnour, says the archives director has told the former governor that the records are public.

They were temporarily pulled after Leavitt's request for a review.

Leavitt now is head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the Bush administration.
