Chuck Hagel: “We don't talk about the European bubble. More important, we don't talk…”

On the recordJuly 25, 1997

We don't talk about the European bubble. More important, we don't talk about European trading and joint implementation. If Senator Byrd wants to say that, he can. This Senator wants to make it clear that I am not in favor of any sort or form of emissions trading or joint implementation. Furthermore, any kind of implied United Nations bureaucracy with the power to come in and inspect and penalize and fine and shut down American companies, which obviously is the legitimate logical conclusion of this, I want to be on record right now in saying I oppose that. Obviously, Senator Byrd can speak for himself.
