The House Ways and Means Committee will hold an important hearing on Thursday to discuss policy options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  Witnesses in prior hearings have testified that the United States “must enact and implement a comprehensive national mandatory market-based program to progressively and significantly reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in a manner that contributes to sustained economic growth.” Although action on climate change is unlikely before the end of the current session, this hearing will help set the agenda for January’s new session.

The meeting will be held at 10:30am on Thursday, September 18, in the main committee hearing room, 1100 Longworth House Office Building.  No witnesses have been announced.
