Washington, D.C. - Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, sent another oversight letter to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson asking EPA to explain why the agency has $2.26 billion in its Superfund Trust Fund that remains uncommitted. In a May 2011 letter, Senator Inhofe asked Administrator Jackson a series of questions addressing these unobligated funds, but Administrator Jackson's reply left two of the most important questions Senator Inhofe posed unanswered. In today's letter, Senator Inhofe asked Administrator Jackson again to answer these specific two questions that she failed to answer in her previous letter.
