Subpoenas Issued to Interior Department For Gulf of Mexico Moratorium Documents

摘要

The U.S. House. Natural Resources Committee authorized in March its chairman, Rep. Doc Hastings (R-Wash.), to issue subpoenas to the Department of the Interior for oversight investigations regarding a department report implying the endorsement of peer reviewers from the National Academy of Engineers for an offshore oil and gas drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico. The committee requested the documents more than a year ago, and the Interior Department had not complied.
