BOTH EXXON/MOBIL AND CHEVRON/TEXACO have received oil-for-food subpoenas:
The U.S. attorney in Manhattan is investigating the program.
A spokeswoman for Exxon Mobil, Prem Nair, said the subpoena covered only documents related to the program and did not accuse the oil giant of wrongdoing. “We are in receipt of the subpoena, and we are responding accordingly,” she said. “We follow all laws and regulations.” Exxon Mobil declined to comment further on the subpoena.
At ChevronTexaco, “we have received a request for information from the U.S. attorney,” said Jeff Moore, a spokesman for the San Ramon, Calif.-based company. “We are cooperating.”
Very interesting. Perhaps the Unscam scandal is getting some traction.
