WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (UPI) -- A hearing before a House natural resources committee will provide firsthand accounts of last year's Gulf of Mexico oil spill, an official said.
An oversight hearing at the House Natural Resource Committee was postponed last week to Oct. 13. U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., chairman of the committee, said the delay was because U.S. President Barack Obama refused to let members of the investigative team from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement and U.S. Coast Guard testify.
