James M. Jeffords: “I agree with the Senator's statement and call upon Senators to be here so we can get this work done.”

As you may know, International Paper is seeking a permit to burn tires at its facility in upstate New York.

I have introduced legislation to require EPA to establish uniform standards and controls for such facilities.

I regard the RFS as the first step, and one that only produces a transition fuel on our way to a more climate-friendly future.

What will be the effect of the RFS if EPA does not receive these funds?
