While election year politics will keep this legislation from being enacted in this Congress, I hope it will serve as a foundation for passing legislation perhaps in the next Congress.
Thank you, Senator Bingaman, for your long standing commitment to tackling climate change, and for your commitment to New Mexico's environment.
The purpose of the hearing, the focus of it, is to talk about the impacts of climate change on the Intermountain West.
