On the recordApril 25, 2002
we want to make sure in this compromise amendment that the perfect not be the enemy of the good. This is not everything anyone would want, but we have struck a compromise with voluntary reporting requirements and database buildup and recognition of actions by industry to control CO2. We will look at it in 5 years. If the threshold is not met, mandatory requirements will come into play. This is an outstanding compromise where people worked very hard on a complex issue to get to a bipartisan middle ground. I hope we will all support it.
