A Letter from the White House

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

May 11, 2001

Dr. Bruce Alberts
National Academy of Sciences
2101 Constitution Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20418


Dear Dr. Alberts:

The Administration is conducting a review of U.S. policy on climate change. We seek the Academy's assistance in identifying the areas in the science of climate change where there are the greatest certainties and uncertainties.

We would also like your views on whether there are any substantive differences between the IPCC Reports and the IPCC summaries.

We would appreciate a response as soon as possible.

Sincerely yours,
