The Council of Republicans for Environmental Advocacy [3], a nonprofit organization founded by Interior Secretary Gale Norton [4] and Grover Norquist [5], has been subpoenaed by "an interagency criminal task force investigating former lobbyist Jack Abramoff [6]." Abramoff and associates are being investigated for "their dealings with Indian tribes." CREA received significant contributions from tribes represented by Abramoff, as a quid pro quo for help with "the tribes' lobbying of the Interior Department," according to anonymous sources. CREA is a "staunch supporter of the Bush administration's environmental policies," and has been called a "greenscam" by Republicans for Environmental Protection, for taking mining, logging, chemical and coal industry money [7].
