"Following reports that
scientists at the United States Department of Agriculture are being
harassed and their research on bee-killing pesticides is being censored
or suppressed, a broad coalition of farmers, environmentalists,
fisheries and food-safety organizations urged an investigation in a May 5 letter sent to Phyllis K. Fong, USDA Inspector General.
“The possibility that the USDA is
prioritizing the interests of the chemical industry over those of the
American public is unacceptable,” states the letter, which was signed by
more than 25 citizens’ groups concerned that a forthcoming report by
the White House Task Force on Pollinator Health, which is co-chaired by
the USDA, will be compromised."
