re: #37 Charles Johnson

Oh, come on! You don’t write a letter like that just to say “Howdy neighbor!” He was urging them to approve the requests for stimulus money, and I guarantee you that the DOE officials understood it that way too. There’s no other reason to write that kind of letter.

Well of course he was asking them to approve it. That’s what he was getting paid to do. My point is, that he did not ask for the money himself. The companies that submitted the paperwork for the grants did. All he did was ask that DOE consider their applications consistent with the law/currents regs and if they met the requirements, approve the grant.
