White House Denies Editing CDC Testimony

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House significantly edited
testimony prepared for a Senate hearing on the impact of
climate change on health, deleting key portions citing
diseases that could flourish in a warmer climate, documents
obtained by The Associated Press showed Wednesday.

The White House on Wednesday denied that it had “watered
down” the congressional testimony that Dr. Julie Gerberding,
director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, had
given the day before to the Senate Environment and Public
Works Committee.

But a draft of the testimony submitted for White House
review shows that six pages of details about specific
disease and other health problems that might flourish if
the Earth warms were not delivered at the hearing.

Gerberding on Wednesday downplayed the significance of
the changes made in her prepared text saying she never
felt she was being censored and that she was free to go
beyond her text - and did when testifying. “I was absolutely
happy with my testimony in Congress. We finally had a
chance to go and say what we though was important,” she
said at a luncheon appearance in Atlanta.
