"House Republicans have snagged high-profile witnesses for a Sept. 18 hearing on the White House's new climate plan: Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy and Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz."
"The Energy and Commerce Committee last month asked 13 federal agencies to send their top official or a designee to testify. The EPA and the Energy Department both went with their leaders, a committee aide said Wednesday.
But Energy and Power subcommittee Chairman Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.) appears to have gotten an underwhelming response from other agencies. McCarthy and Moniz are the only witnesses confirmed to date, the aide said."
