Science Hearing on Disarray at Hurricane Center
July 19th, 2007 by Jesse Lee

As noted on Friday, five Committee and Subcommittee Chairmen wrote to Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and NOAA, seeking answers surrounding reports of disarray at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Chairman Bart Stupak of the Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations said at the time, “The initial refusal by NOAA General Counsel to allow our staff to interview Mr. Proenza’s immediate supervisors raises suspicions that someone in the Administration does not want us to find out the true reasons for this management debacle. Our preliminary work seems to indicate that Mr. Proenza is another victim of retaliation by the Administration for speaking out on issues that Congress and the American people need to hear.” The Science Committee’s Subcommittees on Energy and Environment and Investigations and Oversight will be holding a joint hearing on the matter at 10 a.m.

1. they're lucky we're having a quiet season (despite predictions to the contrary)

or else HAARP and other weather control programs are finally making ground.

2. It's pretty early; Aug-Oct. can be vicious. Here's hoping it's not. nt
