Dupe URL: WH Document Dump: All-hands-on-deck as Solyndra collapse neared

The latest White House documents delivered to House Republicans on Friday again highlight the extent to which senior administration officials braced for the fallout as Solyndra a company President Obama had personally visited was about to go under. A White House memo that noted the danger of imminent bankruptcy at the end of August 2011 says, OMB, DPC and NEC have been working with press and OLA to be prepared for this news to break.

Acronym translation: OMB is the Office of Management and Budget, DPC is the Domestic Policy Council, NEC is the National Economic Council and OLA is the Office of Legal Affairs.

The document, an update on Solyndras $535 million Energy Department (DOE) loan guarantee, notes that $527 million had been disbursed and that DOE believed no more funds should be allotted. The White House document notes that the Treasury Department, OMB and other White House offices agreed that no more money should be provided because there was a near-zero chance" that the company could survive.
