Over, On
http://www.nytimes.com/1987/06/13/world/democrats-seeks-abrams-s-ouster.html
"More than 125 House Democrats called today for the resignation of Elliott Abrams as Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs, saying he had deceived Congress over his involvement in aid to the Nicaraguan rebels."
Would "on" or "concerning" be better than "over" ?

Hi,
It's a more formal and also emphatic way of saying 'about' or 'concerning'.
