The following article from ClimateScienceWatch.org was posted on Tuesday, October 10, 2006 and is available in its entirety at the following Web address: http://www.climatesciencewatch.org/index.php/csw/details/gordon-lautenbacher-letter/ Title: "House Science Committee ranking member seeks answers on Commerce Dept. cover-up of hurricane report" Introduction: House Science Committee ranking member Bart Gordon (D-TN) has initiated an inquiry relating to a “FAQ” fact sheet on “Atlantic Hurricanes and Climate” that was developed by NOAA scientists.  The science journal Nature reported on September 26 that the document “has been blocked by officials at the US Department of Commerce.” NOAA administrator Lautenbacher told Nature that it was simply an internal exercise designed to get researchers to respect each other’s points of view.  However, Rep. Gordon released an internal NOAA e-mail that directly contradicts that statement and has sent investigative correspondence to Lautenbacher that asks for a response this week.
