CNSNews.com - Vitter, Inhofe Ask NASA Inspector General to Probe Possible Obstruction of FOIA Requests Seeking Climate Change Records: "(CNSNews.com) – Two ranking Republicans are calling on the inspector general of NASA to investigate the agency’s “apparent obstruction of Freedom of Information Act requests.”

Republicans on the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works had written to NASA’s inspector general requesting “all documents and records related to the communications or other interactions with the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU).”

Afterwards, they became aware of “three separate FOIA requests made to NASA and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). The requests specifically ask for NASA’s “temperature record and agency emails concerning changes agency researchers made to the temperature record in 2007.”"
