House panel to vote on subpoena powers for Grijalva - Roll Call

Ahead of the vote, Interior, in a statement on Twitter, downplayed any notion it was not responding to oversight requests: “2nd delivery for @NRDems and Chairman @RepRaulGrijalva in less than a week! @Interior continues to produce an unprecedented # of documents. This year alone producing 4,115 documents –– totaling 42,714 pages.” 

Grijalva has signaled his interest in subpoenaing records about the Fish and Wildlife Service’s intervention in a draft scientific report the Commerce Department’s National Marine Fisheries Service wrote that said maximizing the water supplied to farmers in central California would imperil the survival of multiple endangered salmon, steelhead trout and a killer whale that relies on the fish for food. 

After FWS intervened, the report’s findings changed to say the government could supply the farmers more water and still conserve the endangered species. 

Turning up congressional scrutiny of the Commerce decision could place two Democratic members on the committee, Reps. Jim Costa and TJ Cox, in a bind since they represent parts of central California that will likely benefit from more water. 

If Grijalva compels documents or testimony demonstrating undue political influence over the report, a court could overturn its conclusions.
