How the White House Public Relations Campaign on the Oil Spill is Harming the Actual Clean-Up

House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
Abstract
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform investigated the Deepwater Horizon explosion and the resulting oil leak. The committee conducted a series of interviews with local officials. The report finds that the Gulf oil spill response effort is being hindered by the White House, as they present misinformation to the public, focus upon bad press, have delayed finding a visible leak and have local officials questioning the federal government's control and the President's call for a drilling moratorium.
