I'm sending this as part of the text and as an attachment. Note that the Bingamnan-NCEP amendment toregulate greenhouse gas emissions was withdrawn and not offered. We have been told by friends on theHill that this was because a vote count indicated that it would be defeated even with Senator Domenici's5support. Thus the Sense of the Senate resolution offered instead.

The viro pressure groups are trumpeting the vote on the resolution as a commitment by 53 Senators topass mandatory regulation of emissions by the end of the year. They ignore two things: first, "Sense ofthe Senate" resolutions are non-binding and are essentially hot air; and second, the intent is qualified bythe proviso that the plan not harm the economy. Here is the text: "It is the sense of the Senate thatCongress should enact a comprehensive and effective national program of mandatory, market-basedlimits and incentives on emissions of greenhouse gases that slow, stop, and reverse the growth of suchemissions at a rate and in a manner that--(I) will not significantly harm the United States economy;and (2) will encourage comparable action by other nations that are major trading partners and keycontributors to global emissions." The Bingaman-NCEP proposal would significantly harm the U. S.economy, so Senators could vote for this resolution and still vote against what Senators Bingaman andDomenici are cooking up. Chairman Domenici has scheduled a hearing on the Bingaman-NCEPproposal for 13th July.

The viro pressure groups can spin this as much as they want and take out as many full-pageadvertisements as they can afford. The fact is that the big vote against McLiebermian and the withdrawalof the Bingamnan-NCEP amendment are tremendous defeats for the forces of darkness.
