ADVANCE FOR SUNDAY, JUNE 15 AND THEREAFTER - This photo taken June 9, 2014 shows a horse named Primo grazing in front of the home of local resident Joann Aramillo, with an oil and gas rig on a well pad visible a few hundred yards away, top right, in New Castle, a small farming and ranching settlement on the Western Slope of the Rockies, in Colo. Four in 10 new oil and gas wells near national forests and fragile watersheds or otherwise identified as higher pollution risks escape federal inspection, unchecked by an agency struggling to keep pace with America's drilling boom, according to an Associated Press review that shows wide state-by-state disparities in safety checks.

FILE - This May 15, 2014 file photo shows Veterans Affairs acting Inspector General Richard Griffin testifying on Capitol Hill in Washington. A private watchdog organization investigating problems in the Veterans Affairs Department defied a federal subpoena Friday to turn over to the Obama administration materials it received from federal whistleblowers. The directive ordered the Washington-based Project on Government Oversight to surrender copies of all records and identifying information from federal employees or others who submitted complaints about the VA, which they believed would remain anonymous. POGO said the material was digitally encrypted when it was submitted. (AP Photo/Cliff Owen, File)
