President Obama pushed for expanded domestic energy while Interior Secretary Salazar outlined risk assessment and environmental review before any new sites, with no lease sales planned before 2012. Senators Menendez and Lautenberg urged caution about offshore drilling dangers.

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee had urged an inquiry into possible leaks and coordination with political groups. An SEC spokesman denied any improper coordination and said cooperation with the investigation is expected.
