Waxman, Markey agree to additional climate change hearing
WASHINGTON, DC, Apr. 29 — Democratic leaders of the US House Energy and Commerce Committee agreed to hold another hearing on climate change legislation on May 1, but said their record in working with the minority is better than their Republican predecessors.
“Our extensive hearings and the many accommodations we have provided to the minority far surpass the process you provided Democrats when you and your Republican predecessors controlled the committee,” Chairman Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.) and Energy and Environment Subcommittee Chairman Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) said on Apr. 27.
