After CEQ Bucks Congressional Oversight, Westerman Passes Amendment Reducing CEQ Funding

Press Release

"CEQ has long been an example of the ways unchecked government spending can result in agencies being run by bureaucrats with no accountability to the taxpayer. Already this year, CEQ has refused to testify at the Committee on Natural Resources three times, and they have failed to answer questions that fall under the umbrella of routine oversight. While they wage war on American energy producers, they actively pay our adversaries for resources we could produce here at home cleaner, safer and with American workers. I've been deeply concerned by their apparent inability to even answer a letter, and if you can't answer to the taxpayer then you won't continue to receive funding. Today we voted to reduce their ballooning budget and send a clear message to the Biden administration that disregard for congressional oversight and the American people is unacceptable."
