I'd refer you to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. This came from their press release, not an original
by us.

Thanks.

          Dear Mr. Holbrook,
          Maybe it was just a slip of the pen, but I am troubled by the following statement:
          "As part of the partnership, Entergy will retain the right to report carbon
          sequestration credits that will result from their reforestation efforts."

          Entergy has been lobbying for years to transform the 1605(b) emissions reporting program into
          a pre-regulatory credit for early reductions program. As you may know, the Competitive
          Enterprise Institute and several other free market groups have long made the case that the
          federal government has no authority under current law to award 002 reduction or
          sequestration credits, and that Congress should not provide such authority because an early                  r
          credit program would function as the political and legal setup for future Kyoto-stye cap-and-
          trade schemes.
          DOE's general counsel agrees with our reading of 1605(b), as do a number of groups on the
          other side of the Kyoto debate, including Natural Resources Defense Council, Pew Center on
          Global Climate Change, and the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management.
           Please make sure that future communications do not give the misleading impression that the
           U.S. Government isinthe business of awarding "credits" for C02 reductions or sequestration.
           Infact, it would be a good idea to issue a correction.
           Sincerely,
           Mario Lewis

Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 11:09 AM TO: Mario Lewis Subject: RE: CEQ E-Notes: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 piece written I'd refer you to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. This came from their press release, not an original by us. Thanks. ----Original Message --- From: Mario Lewis [mailto:mlewis~cei.org] Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 11:00 AM To: Holbrook, William F. Cc: Global Warming Subject: RE: CEQ E-Notes: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 Dear Mr. Holbrook, Maybe it was just a slip of the pen, but I am troubled by the following statement: "As part of the partnership, Entergy will retain the right to report carbon sequestration credits that will result from their reforestation efforts." Entergy has been lobbying for years to transform the 1605(b) emissions reporting program into a pre-regulatory credit for early reductions program. As you may know, the Competitive Enterprise Institute and several other free market groups have long made the case that the federal government has no authority under current law to award 002 reduction or sequestration credits, and that Congress should not provide such authority because an early r credit program would function as the political and legal setup for future Kyoto-stye cap-and- trade schemes. DOE's general counsel agrees with our reading of 1605(b), as do a number of groups on the other side of the Kyoto debate, including Natural Resources Defense Council, Pew Center on Global Climate Change, and the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management. Please make sure that future communications do not give the misleading impression that the U.S. Government isinthe business of awarding "credits" for C02 reductions or sequestration. Infact, it would be a good idea to issue a correction. Sincerely, Mario Lewis Senior Fellow Competitive Enterprise Institute ---- Original Message --- 10/7/2005
