A spokesman for Norm Coleman, chairman of the Senate's permanent subcommittee on investigations, said the senator 'would be pleased' to have Galloway appear at a May 17 hearing into the claims. 'There will be a witness chair and microphone available for Mr. Galloway's use,' said the spokesman, Tom Steward. Asked how Galloway had responded to the invitation, his spokesman said he was keen. 'Mr Galloway said: 'Book the flights, let's go, let's give them both barrels',' the spokesman said, adding 'That's guns. not oil.' 'Assuming we get visas and flights sorted, we are going there to confront the Joe McCarthy committee,' he added, referring to the 1950s senator who led anti-communist hearings. The US committee said earlier today it had 'detailed evidence' that under the Saddam-era UN oil-for-food program, Iraq gave 20 mln barrels of oil in allocations to Galloway. Galloway, who set up his own left-wing Respect Party after being expelled from the Labour Party of Prime Minister Tony Blair after criticising the government's involvement in the Iraq war, branded the accusation a 'big lie'. He also said he had sought to contact the committee about the allegations. pw/ds/cmr COPYRIGHT Copyright AFX News Limited 2005. All rights reserved.
