I doubt the media will report this section. Thanks for posting these sections for folks like me who aren't too intersted in reading a bunch of jargon in a huge report like this. If the media does start a smear campaign, let's fax these sections to the media and see if they will bother to do something called balanced reporting. It IS their responsibility.

H.Con.Res. 83

The Senate Budget Resolution, passed in the nature of a substitute for language in H.Con.Res.83, included S.Amdt. 249, sponsored by Senator John Kerry, to restore funding for programs related to global climate change to the funding level of $4.5 billion over 10 years, primarily for existing programs. Among the purposes identified by the amendment were “addressing global climate change concerns...promoting domestic energy security....to provide increased funding to ensure adequate U.S. participation in negotiations...pursuant to the Senate-ratified U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change...” and other purposes.

Passed by the Senate April 6, 2001. See Congressional Record p. S3641. From this PDF file
