Ranking Members Lofgren and Foushee Letter to CEQ Chair Mallory

Additional Information

On Thursday, December 14, Ranking Member Lofgren and Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight Ranking Member Valerie Foushee sent a letter to Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Chair Brenda Mallory regarding a document production received by the Committee. Ranking Members Lofgren and Foushee requested a review of an apparent conflict of interest regarding an official’s communications with a nonprofit organization, CDP, while CEQ was engaging in interagency deliberations on a Federal Acquisition Regulation Council proposed rule.

In their letter, they wrote, “It is imperative that CEQ complete this review expeditiously and communicate its findings to the Committee. Even the appearance of inappropriate influence by outside entities risks compromising CEQ’s ability to support the Biden Administration’s ambitious climate agenda.”
