Approaching Midnight: Oversight of the Bush Administration's Last-Minute Rulemakings - Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming - 2008-12-11 - From global warming to water quality to endangered species to clean air, the Bush administration is pushing harder than ever to advance its anti-environmental agenda by rescinding, changing, or issuing rules, with negative consequences for our natural resources, environment, and America's energy policy.

Markey (D-Mass.) and the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. WITNESS LIST: Mr. Robert F.
