Joe Barton issued a press release giving a summary of the report's findings, with quotations from the report. The report primarily focused on the statistical analysis used in the MBH paper, but also considered the personal and professional relationships between Mann et al. and other members of the paleoclimate community. It became known as the "Wegman Report", and its findings were discussed at hearings of the Energy Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations under its chairman U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield.
