Summary: Dems Critical of Cut Testimony

Friday October 26, 2007 10:31 PM

By The Associated Press

DEMS CHALLENGE: Several Democrats on Thursday
challenged White House officials' claim that they
removed large parts of proposed congressional
testimony on global warming because the material
conflicted with findings from a U.N. scientific panel.

A BREAKDOWN: Sen. Barbara Boxer released a paragraph-
by-paragraph comparison of the phrases that the White
House removed and the U.N. panel's report this year.

STRIKING SIMILARITIES: Both raised virtually identical
concerns, such as the heat stress on vulnerable
populations and the spread of waterborne infectious
diseases.
