CREW: Department of Commerce: Regarding Rogers-Related Non Profits

On March 7, 2011, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to several federal agencies seeking records related to non-profit organizations that have received millions of dollars in earmarks and grants from Rep. Harold Rogers (R-KY). As CREW explained in its requests, these records will shed light on whether Rep. Rogers played a role in helping the nonprofits secure federal funds.
