ExxonMobil lobbyist Philip Cooney yesterday admitted making 181 editing changes to climate change reports while serving as chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality. In sworn testimony before the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, Cooney said he relied on a 2001 report prepared by the National Academy of Sciences. "I had the authority and responsibility to make recommendations to the documents in question, under an established interagency review process," Cooney said. Cooney spent 15 years working as a lobbyist for the American Petroleum Institute before assuming his role at the White House.
