At a Congressional hearing today the General Accounting Office released a report on some of Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary's extensive world travel. The report says the department has very sloppy accounting and cannot account for $250-thousand in spending. NPR's John Nielsen reports defenders say the report is full of holes while other supporters worry that overseas business will be lost if the secretary is forced to curtail her travel. The controversy regarding Secretary O'Leary's management is nowhere near over.
