On June 21, 2010 Joe Barton was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
Rep. Joe Barton [R, TX-6], the Ranking Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, is facing heat over his remarks to BP CEO Tony Hayward that the $20 billion escrow fund requested by President Obama is a "a "$20 billion shakedown." Barton also offered Hayward an apology. GOP leaders are threatening to remove Barton from his leadership position depending on what they hear from their constituents on his apology when they go back home to their districts.
