Washington, DC— Today Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Henry A. Waxman and Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Ranking Member Diana DeGette sent a letter to Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chairman Cliff Stearns urging that he invite a representative from the Department of Energy (DOE) to testify at Friday’s hearing.  Given that a major purpose of the hearing appears to be an examination of whether DOE should have consulted with the Department of Justice when restructuring the government loan to Solyndra, the ranking members believe DOE should be represented at the hearing.
