A hearing was held on reports from the Interior Department inspector general on misconduct involving oil and gas royalty collections. The reports alleged that employees helped to rig bids, accepted gifts from energy company officials, had sex with subordinates and industry contacts, and used illegal drugs, including marijuana and cocaine. Also at issue was a General Accountability Office report which found that because of decreased oversight and widespread inaccuracies in measurement, the Interior Department had not collected all the royalties owed by energy companies for the oil and natural gas they draw from federal property. close
