On the recordJune 26, 2000
I would urge the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Knollenberg), this is not a sleight-of-hand. This is not a maneuver to allow this President to implement anything in Kyoto. This is a provision that the entire executive branch, whether it is EPA, the Department of Energy, the Department of Justice, the State Department, or the Department of Commerce, will understand that the Kyoto Protocol has not been ratified by the Senate, it is not going to be implemented with this particular amendment. It only allows what I think all of us do on this floor, what all of us want this Government to do and that is simply to exchange information, to have some sense of understanding about human activity, its impact on climate change and what we can do to share with our constituents what is coming down the road. So I would urge the Members to vote for the Olver amendment. It is good, common, intelligent sense.
