"House Panel Eyes BP Decisions In Gulf Blowout"  "Lawmakers are
taking direct aim at BP's decision-making process --
specifically, how the company weighed profits against safety
concerns -- ahead of an upcoming congressional hearing on the
Gulf oil disaster.  Rep. Henry Waxman of California and Rep.
Bart Stupak of Michigan, the ranking Democrats on the House
Energy and Commerce Committee, made public a letter to BP CEO
Tony Hayward Monday that accuses BP of taking 'risky procedures'
to save time and money ahead of the Deepwater Horizon blowout.
Hayward is scheduled to testify before the committee Thursday.
The lawmakers say the committee's investigation has so far
focused on five decisions made by BP with regard to the Macondo
well, which they say was 'significantly behind schedule,'
creating 'pressure to take shortcuts to speed finishing the
well.'"  NPR had the story June 14, 2010.  Source: NPR,
