Mr. Chair, climate change is a global threat that the United States cannot tackle alone, and the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change convenes multilateral partners working together to mitigate damage to our globe. The United States has been a party to the UNFCCC since 1992, thanks in large part to the leadership of the George H.W. Bush administration. As chairwoman of the Appropriations Committee, I will not support efforts that will jeopardize our treaty-based obligations. Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. Mr. Chair, I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Rouda).
