Subject: actien update an Senate climate title

1. Heme at us had a useful meeting this afterneen with Bryan Hannegan and
Jehn Feaehke ef the majerity staff ef the Senate Energy and Natural
?eseurces Cemmittee te discuss the climate title. he made eur views
knewn. particularly eur view that the three ehnexieus previaiene in the
climate title sheuld he remeved hefere cemmittee mark?up. We had a geed
discussien ef the pres and eens ef varieus strategies.

2- Heat impertantly. Bryan Hannegan clarified a misunderstanding. He
teld us that he had tried te make the climate title as censistent with
Bush Administratien pelicy as pesaihle. hut that the climate title was
written witheut input free the Bush Administratien and was net supperted
by the Bush Administratien. That sheuld settle that particular
centreversy.

3. Speaking just fer CEI. we infermed them that we theught the negatives
in the climate title eutweighed the pesitivee in the energy bill as a
whele and that we weuld therefere assemble a ceneervatiee cealitien te
eppese the Senate energy bill if it included a climate title with the
three ehnexieus erevisiens.

a. The schedule remains the same: cemments are being accepted threugh
Friday; the cemmittee staff will then prepare the chairman's mark fer
release Tuesday an that it can he marked up in cemmittee en Thursday the
l?th. Se we must make eur eppesitien hnewn te Chairman Demenici as
quickly as Feasible.
