S<strong>in</strong>ger thanked McIntyre for<br />
earlier send<strong>in</strong>g data<br />
TT+CO, but who?<br />
Barton later claimed<br />
WSJ article noticed,<br />
led to letters. Really?<br />
He and Inhofe are<br />
long allies, oil $$$.<br />
Unlike earlier meet<strong>in</strong>gs, this only<br />
names a few people, does not<br />
name question askers. Some of<br />
<strong>the</strong> questions are technical (likely<br />
S<strong>in</strong>ger), but <strong>the</strong>se meet<strong>in</strong>gs also<br />
usually have CO attendee(s).<br />
