Pallone and DeGette Outline COVID-19 Oversight Agenda

Statement

Energy and Commerce Chairman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chair Diana DeGette (D-CO) today outlined the Subcommittee's COVID-19 oversight agenda for the coming months.

"The Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations continues to conduct robust oversight of the Administration's inconsistent and inadequate coronavirus response. This oversight is essential to not only holding the Administration accountable for its missteps, but also for developing solutions to dramatically improve the national response," Pallone and DeGette said. "The oversight agenda we're outlining today focuses on some of the key areas where the Administration has failed the American people, the states and marginalized communities. As we move forward with these investigations -- and hold hearings as necessary -- we expect the Administration to cooperate with our oversight requests, something that, to date, they have largely been unwilling to do."
