The July 20 hearingis a co-production of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and the Subcommittee on Energy and Environment. Look for Reps. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) to really go after Salazar and the other witnesses (two former Interior Department chiefs) on the role the former Minerals Management Service played in approving offshore drilling projects in the Gulf.
