Senator Lieberman wrote to Chief of Staff Andrew Card expressing concern about communications between the White House and the Competitive Enterprise Institute regarding efforts to discredit official conclusions on climate change in a 2002 UN report. Lieberman referenced an email suggesting the White House sought CEI's help "cleaning up the mess" and questioned whether a subsequent CEI lawsuit was collusive. Lieberman requested the White House provide details on all contacts with CEI regarding global warming from May 2002 to present to clarify the situation.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Dear MA&
I write to express my conoern about coomMUnicalions tha have recently come to light
between high.-ranking White House staff anid the Competitive Enterprise bnstituzte (CEl), a
conservative think-tank, regarding a May 2002 report on global wanrning submitted to the United
Nations by the State Department. As you kniow, that report was at-odds with Bush
Administration efforts to reject mounting evidence of the serious effects of climate change. A
Tune 3, 2002 emnail from Myron Ebell, Director of Global Wanning and Bnvironmental Policy at
CEL to Phihp, Cooney, Chief of Staff for the White House's Counicil on Enviromnenrtal Quality
(CEQ), appeal to show efforts by Mr. Cooney to use GEI, an outside group, to discredit settlcd
and offcial scientific conclusions regarding climate change.
The U.S. Climate Action Report was issued in May 2002 by the Ulnited States pursuant to
its obligations under the United Nations F~ramework Convention on Climate Change in 1992.
The Climate Action Report relied to a signifoanX extent on the National Assessment of the
Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change, which was published in 2000 by the
Clinton Administration after a decade of study. Bothi these reports recognized that increasing
concentratioiis of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere were causing the Earth to warm. Both also
Warned that the winnig temperatures would have dire environmental consequences. These
alarnring fmxdings provide additional evidence that we must make evory effort to reduce our
nation's greenhouse gas emissions. Such a pumuit however, is contrary to the :Bush
Administration's short-.sighted goals of increasing the use and production of trad~itionaal fossil
fuels without regard to the long-texm effbct on the planet. Thus, when asked about the May 2002
Climate Action Report, President Bush dismissed it as having been "pVnt out by the bureaucracy,"
while reaffinningbhis ow nvironmentally hostile approach, (George Archibald and Carter
Dougherty, "'BushPans Kyoto as 1apan OKS Pact; EPA Diverges From President's Views,"
Washington Times, June 5, 2002-)
The June 3, 2002 CE.I-CEQ email, which was produced as a.result of a Freedom of
Information Act request by Attorneys General from Cornneotiout, Massachusetts and Maine, was
apparently written in response to a telephone call to Mr. Ebell of CB1 from Mr. Cooney of CEQ
requesting "help"in dealing with the poLitical fallout from the Climiate Action Report. In the
