15 May 2009 // Washington, D.C. - Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Secret Service, seeking records of visits by 16 executives of the nation's top coal companies to the White House since President Obama took office. As CREW explained in its request, these records will shed light on the influence these companies have had or attempted to have on the president and his administration in formulating the nation's energy policy, particularly as it relates to coal.
