Hodel gave away oil shale royalties to bidders in West
Congressional investigators say Interior Secretary Donald Hodel settled 82 000 acres of oil shale claims in 1986, giving up royalties potentially worth up to 210 billion and at least 34 billion. The action followed TOSCO v Hodel and thwarted appeals over long dormant claims dating to 1872 1920. The report cites legal strategy over government loss and notes many claims were fraudulent or abandoned.
