"President Bush's energy task force moved to include a chapter on environmental matters only late in last year's deliberations, despite administration officials' assertions that the panel weighed conservation and production equally as it assembled a national energy policy.The new information, indicating that the task force added a section on the environment only after an outcry from environmentalists excluded from deliberations, came from Monday night's court-ordered release of documents by the Energy Department and other government agencies."
