This makes no sense at all. The sonofusion work has no hope of being
practical and the issue of reproducibility is trivial. Why would
Congress get involved? If the oil industry were worried about cold
fusion, many methods much closer to a practical device than this one are
being investigated. Why are they not being targeted.

Congress seeks documents in Purdue cold-fusion probe
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS – Purdue University has become the target of a
congressional inquiry nearly two months after a university panel cleared
allegations of research misconduct against a scientist who claimed to
have produced nuclear fusion in tabletop experiments.
A congressional subcommittee has given Purdue until Thursday to turn
over copies of its findings into the allegations raised last year
against Rusi Taleyarkhan, a professor of nuclear engineering.
Purdue announced Feb. 7 that an “internal inquiry” found no evidence
supporting those allegations and “that no further investigation of the
allegations is warranted.”
School officials, citing a Purdue confidentiality policy, have declined
to discuss what the inquiry found.
