I saw a very similar quote on a news web site (MSNBC, I think) that omitted any reference to "the administrative branch." I don't know how reliable the Yahoo site is from which the quote is taken, but it may not be an accurate quote.

This, from the President's remarks today, http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030930/dctu064_1.html, gives credence to the recently derided notion of the "Fourth Branch": "[T]here's too much leaking in Washington. That's just the way it is. And we've had leaks out of the administrative branch, had leaks out of the legislative branch, and out of the executive branch and the legislative branch, and I've spoken out consistently against them and I want to know who the leakers are."
