This document is an email from Samuel Thernstrom forwarding a draft letter to the editor of the New York Times regarding a recent article about the 2002 U.S. Climate Action Report. The letter argues that the Report is consistent with previous statements from the Bush Administration about the science of climate change being uncertain and that the Administration is responsibly addressing the issue through emissions reduction programs and climate science research funding. The letter is from James Connaughton, Chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
