The CIA have agreed to provide documents regarding the destruction of the interrogation tapes. They'll be subpoenaed if they don't. Seems a bit pointless.
The Administration want a delay because they want to finish their investigation first. If there's any more evidence, they want to make sure they find it before anyone else.
