Abstract
- Climate change policy has been a key congressional concern recently, focusing especially on the Kyoto Protocol, which the United States and 37 other countries agreed to in principle in December 1997. Under the protocol, the United States agreed to substantially reduce its greenhouse gas emissions during the five-year period beginning in 2008. This testimony discusses activities relating to climate change programs and congressional requests for information on (1) the administration's April 20, 1999, report on federal expenditures for climate change activities and (2) a limitation that was designed to prevent the agency from taking specified regulatory actions to implement the Kyoto Protocol on climate change.
