A Democratic congressman is demanding more information from drilling giant Transocean about the forms signed by Deepwater Horizon rig workers stating they were not hurt and were not witnesses of the explosion that brought down the rig April 20.
Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA) has fired off a letter to Transocean calling its response to his earlier request for information on the forms insufficient.

Transocean President Steven Newman
At a congressional hearing today, Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA) went after Transocean CEO Steven Newman over why forms were presented to rig workers right after the accident stating they were not injured.
As TPMmuckraker explained earlier, rescued rig workers were asked by Transocean officials to sign forms saying both that they were not hurt, and that they were "not a witness to the incident requiring the evacuation and have no first hand or personal knowledge regarding the incident."
