Suggested Introduction 1:
The National Cotton Council was joined by 137 other commodity and agricultural organizations in declaring support for Senator Lisa Murkowski’s introduction of a resolution opposing EPA’s current plan to regulate carbon dioxide and other green house gases.  Keith Menchey, manager of science and environmental issues for the National Cotton Council, says they urged Senate approval of the resolution.

Suggested Introduction 2:
Menchey says the groups’ letter also pointed out that the EPA rule itself claims to establish only a weak, indirect link between greenhouse gases and public health and welfare.

Suggested Introduction 3:
According to Menchey, the resolution Senator Murkowski is introducing would nullify these rules and restrict EPA from ever doing any role similar in the future.
