A hearing was held on reports from the Interior Department inspector general on misconduct involving oil and gas royalty collections. The reports alleged that employees helped to rig bids, accepted gifts from energy company officials, had sex with subordinates and industry contacts, and used illegal drugs, including marijuana and cocaine.
