EPA administrator likely to be found in contempt of Congress

Today, the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming will hold a hearing examining the Bush administration's energy policy. The sole witness is Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman. The hearing will focus on the administration's strategic petroleum reserve policies, as well as its support for tax credits for oil and gas companies.

However, the real fireworks will likely precede the hearing. The committee will, immediately before considering Mr. Bodman's testimony, vote on a resolution "recommending that EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson be found in contempt of Congress for his refusal to comply with a subpoena."
As I wrote in a previous post, the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming voted, 12-0, to issue a subpoena for EPA documents showing the agency's "progress in making the 'endangerment' finding and proposing national emissions standards."

Thus far, the EPA has failed to comply with the subpoena.

If the committee passes the resolution finding Stephen Johnson in contempt, it will next be voted on by the entire House. If it passes there, a contempt citation will be issued, the matter referred to the U.S Attorney for the District of Columbia, and a grand jury impaneled.
