Sen. Boxer Calls For Hearings on Censorship of Gov’t Scientists

Follow-up to January 29, 2006 posting, Gov’t Climate Change Expert Contends Censorship of Data – today Sen. Barbara Boxer issued a press release that included the text of her letters to ranking members of two Senate committees stating, “It has come to my attention that the director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Dr. James E. Hansen, has had his public papers and statements on critical scientific matters severely restricted by Bush Administration officials. Considering the gravity of these allegations, I strongly urge you to hold a hearing to investigate these charges.”
