Signaling the need for urgent action so that we can combat the s we face inrisk this country. President obama has long recognized the urgency of this challenge. , in a speech at Georgetown University on a sweltering hot day, the president launched his Climate Action land. Cutting Carbon Pollution in, preparing our communities for changes in climate that are already ongoing and leading International Efforts to address the challenge. One year later, a lot has happened in executing on the commitments made in the Climate Action plan.

Priority of American Foreign policy. Among elites, its 29 . That is a huge divide. Its the largest divide, by the way, in this poll. The only one thats even close is Climate Change, which the league thinks is a more important issue than americans. The odd element is if you look at American Foreign policy, particularly in the last 12 years or so, there is very little focus in our Foreign Policy on jobs and the economy.

To list all the concerns raised by this proposal, you know that i believe there are many. The issues are complex, and the impacts are far reaching. While i appreciate the 120day Comment Period that was granted for Public Comment on this rule, the challenge presented to the states and other stakeholders to analyze and assess the enormous range of issues that are posed is beyond expectations. The level of complexity of the proposal, the volume of technical documents that are released, the amount of coordination required and the magnitude of Energy Impacts of the rule, i believe, warrant a 60day extension of that public Comment Period. I hope to visit with you about that. Im pleased were spending time today examining some of the concerns raised by the proposal. This is an important discussion. This is an important debate. And i look forward to todays dialogue. Thank you. Thank you, senator fisher. Senator cardon. Thank you, madam chair. First, let me think Administrator Gina Mccarthy for
