Friday, September 19th, 2008 周五, 08年9月19日 By Marisa Taylor | The Interior Department’s watchdog criticized the Justice Department on Thursday for declining to prosecute the managers of an oil- and gas-royalty program that’s been tainted by allegations of illicit sex, drug use and taking favors worth thousands of dollars.泰勒的马里萨|内政部部的监督批评司法部周四下降起诉管理者的石油和天然气版税计划,一直受指控的非法性行为,吸毒和主张值得考虑几千美元。 The Justice Department prosecuted two employees from the Minerals Management Service, but Inspector General Earl Devaney said he didn’t know why the department’s lawyers didn’t act on his recommendation to prosecute two high-ranking officials who’ve since retired.美国司法部起诉两名雇员从矿产资源管理服务,但监察长厄尔德瓦尼说,他不知道为什么该署的律师没有采取行动,他建议将起诉两名高层官员,因为谁已经退休了。 “I would have liked a more aggressive approach, and I would have liked to have seen some other people prosecuted here,” he said during a hearing before the House of Representatives’ Natural Resources Committee. “我本来希望更积极的态度,我当然也希望能看到一些其他人起诉, ”他说,在听证会之前,国会众议院自然资源委员会。 Last week, in three reports, Devaney implicated a dozen current and former employees of the Minerals Management Service in inappropriate or unethical relationships with industry officials.上周,在三份报告,德瓦尼牵连的十几个现任和前任雇员的矿产资源管理服务局的不适当的或不道德的关系,与工业界官员。 He described “a culture of substance abuse and promiscuity” in the Royalty in Kind program, in which the government forgoes royalties and takes a share of the oil and gas for resale instead.他说, “文化的物质滥用和乱”的版税中类节目,其中政府放弃使用费,并采取份额的石油和天然气的零售代替。 From 2002 to 2006, nearly a third of the RIK staff socialized with and received gifts and gratuities from oil and gas companies.从2002年到2006年,近三分之一的工作人员社会里克和收到的礼品和酬金由石油和天然气公司。 “Simply stated, the MMS employees named in these reports had a callous disregard for the ethical rules by which the rest of us are required to play,” he told committee members. “简单地说,彩信员工命名在这些报告中有麻木不仁的道德规则,其余的我们都需要发挥, ”他告诉委员会成员。 After cutting deals with prosecutors, former MMS employees Jimmy Mayberry and Milton Dial pleaded guilty to creating a lucrative MMS contract to benefit them both upon retirement.经过切割处理的检察官,前彩信员工吉米梅伯里和米尔顿拨号认罪,创造一个利润丰厚的彩信合同双方受益退休时。 Devaney also recommended that the Justice Department prosecute RIK’s former Denver office director, Gregory Smith, and the former associate director of the Minerals Revenue Management office, Lucy Dennet.德瓦尼还建议,美国司法部起诉里克前丹佛办公室主任,格雷戈里史密斯,前副主任矿产收入管理办公室,露西•丹尼特。 The reports accuse Smith of having sex with two subordinates and improperly accepting $30,000 from a private company for marketing its services to oil and gas companies.报告指责史密斯发生性关系,有两个下属不当接受$ 30000从一家私营公司为推销其服务,以石油和天然气公司。 Dennet is accused of helping Mayberry create the contract he was awarded after his retirement. •丹尼特被指控帮助建立梅伯里合同,他被授予后退休。 The Justice Department hasn’t explained why it declined to prosecute them.美国司法部并没有解释为什么它拒绝对他们提出起诉。 “I’ve been doing this for a long time, and this isn’t the first time I’ve been disappointed by decisions made over there,” Devaney said of the Justice Department. “我已经这样做了很长一段时间,这不是我第一次感到失望作出的决定在那儿, ”德瓦尼说,司法部。 “It probably won’t be the last.” “这大概也不会是最后一次。 ” Department spokeswoman Laura Sweeney said department lawyers made prosecutorial decisions “based on the facts and the law.”国务院女发言人劳拉斯威尼说律师部门提出起诉的决定“ ,根据事实和法律。 ” “That policy was followed in this instance,” she said, declining to elaborate. “这项政策后在这个例子中, ”她说,拒绝透露详细情况。 Although his investigation is closed, Devaney said he felt that it wasn’t complete, partly because Chevron had hired lawyers for six employees implicated in the scandal who later refused to be interviewed by the inspector general.尽管他的调查已结束,德瓦尼说,他认为这是不完整的,部分是因为雪佛龙公司已聘请律师为6名雇员中有牵连的丑闻谁后拒绝接受采访的督察长。 A former Shell employee also declined to cooperate.前壳牌公司员工也拒绝合作。 Devaney charged that Chevron, Shell, Gary-Williams Energy Corp. and Hess Corp. gave gifts to RIK staffers.德瓦尼指控说,雪佛龙,壳牌,加里威廉姆斯能源公司和赫斯公司赠送了里克的员工。 Don Campbell, a Chevron spokesman, denied that his company was uncooperative, saying that it had provided 13,000 pages of documents.不要坎贝尔,雪佛龙公司发言人,否认他的公司不合作,认为这提供了1.3万页的文件。 Campbell acknowledged that all six employees remain with the company.坎贝尔承认,所有六名员工留在公司。 “The report does not say, because it cannot say, that Chevron failed to follow any of the Royalty in Kind program rules and regulations,” he said. “该报告没有说,因为它不能说,这雪佛龙公司没有遵守任何版税的一种程序规则和条例, ”他说。 Rep. George Miller, a Democrat from California, said he was disturbed that Chevron continued to do business “as if nothing happened.”众议员乔治米勒,一个来自加州的民主党说,他不安的是,雪佛龙公司继续做生意“ ,仿佛什么事情都没有发生。 ” “The same people are on the front lines holding on to the same relationships,” he said. “同样的人在前线持有相同的关系, ”他说。 Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, who wasn’t leading the department at the time, told lawmakers that he planned to hire an ethics official to monitor the program and was considering firing some employees.内政部长德克肯普索恩,谁不是领导部门的时候,告诉国会议员,他计划聘请道德官方监测计划,并正在考虑发射的一些雇员。 Republicans on the House committee downplayed the scandal as an isolated problem involving few employees.共和党在众议院情报委员会的丑闻淡化作为一个孤立的问题,涉及雇员很少。 It isn’t the first time that the Interior Department has been criticized for its handling of royalty collections.这是不是第一次内政部也被批评其处理专利集合。 During the Clinton administration, Interior officials failed to catch a loophole in leases that allowed oil companies to escape paying billions of dollars in royalties.在克林顿政府执政期间,内政部的官员未能赶上漏洞租赁,允许石油企业逃避缴纳数十亿美元的版税。 The Bush administration didn’t close that loophole for several years.布什政府没有关闭这一漏洞了好几年。 Last week, McClatchy reported that senior Justice Department officials had blocked the US attorney in Colorado from supporting a whistleblower’s suit last year, jeopardizing the government’s prospects for recovering as much as $40 million from a major oil company for alleged underpayments of royalties.上周,麦克拉奇报告说,司法部的高级官员已封锁了美国在科罗拉多州的律师从支持举报人的诉讼去年,危及政府的前景恢复了4000万美元从一个主要的石油公司涉嫌不足的版税。 Have Your Say: Why weren’t managers charged in oil-sex scandal? 你说:为什么不经理被控在石油性丑闻?
