Tomorrow will mark the five-year point since the Senate voted unanimously to provide President Clinton and Vice President Gore with clear advice regarding the Kyoto Protocol. It is unfortunate that the Clinton Administration ignored the Senate's 95-0 vote on S.Res. 98, or the Byrd-Hagel Resolution, but the conditions outlined in that resolution remain the guideposts for U.S. international climate change policy.

I would also remind my colleagues, and this frequently gets forgotten in the discussion, perhaps even more significant than the 95-0 vote was that the Byrd-Hagel Resolution had 65 bipartisan cosponsors.


Thank you C2. That puts "Paid" to John's argument.

Good heavens, so that's what you guys meant. Those are standard negotiating qualifiers. I would not be surprised if the Clinton folk encouraged the passage of that.

It's not opposition to the Kyoto Treaty, per se; it's a series of arguments to take back to the negotiators.

Gotta watch the small print.
