Chairman Waxman Schedules Contempt Vote

From the Oversight Committee:

Chairman Waxman Schedules Contempt Vote

In letters to EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson and White House official Susan Dudley, Chairman Waxman announces that the Committee will consider holding them in contempt for their repeated refusal to provide subpoenaed documents to the Committee. The subpoenaed documents involve the White House role in EPA?s ozone standards and rejection of California?s motor vehicle emission standards.
