Christopher Horner, ATI’s director of litigation, explained that public employees may not personally gain from their office.

“Under federal statutes and NASA rules, employees may not privately benefit from their public office,” he said in a statement. “Outside income must be disclosed, certain activities avoided, and permission must be applied for before engaging in permissible outside employment or activities. ATI’s request seeks official documents which, if they exist, would inform the public about NASA’s and Dr. Hansen’s adherence to these ethics rules. Considering the records already obtained and the public record, compliance by NASA and Dr. Hansen is in doubt.”
