Posted Thu Apr 3 2008: from Anchorage Daily News:
Interior secretary dodges hearing on polar bear status http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1207259295
"Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne was a no-show Wednesday in front of a Senate committee seeking an explanation for why his agency has been slow to decide whether to list polar bears as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Kempthorne, summoned in front of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, refused to testify. Instead, he sent a letter and spoke personally to several of the committee members. He also pledged to testify once he had issued a decision, now three months late."
