Trump Admin Recalls Workers to Assist in Offshore Oil Projects
--------------------------------------------------------------

Elsewhere, the Interior Department has recalled dozens of federal
employees furloughed by the shutdown. The workers from the Bureau of
Offshore Energy Management will assist in Trump's efforts to expand
offshore oil and gas drilling in the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic
oceans. The bureau's offshore wind development program remains idled by
the shutdown.
