Friends:
We thought it interesting that the Securities and Exchange Commission, charged by statute with ensuring investor protection and the efficient functioning of the Nation’s securities markets would be doing an interpretive release on global warming. We can’t think what the SEC’s statutory authority would be to regulate in this area. As far as we know, there are no climate scientists working at the SEC.
Ranking Member’s Barton and Walden thought they would ask the SEC Chairman for some context to this unusual foray into environmental science and energy policy by the SEC.
We thought you might like to see their questions.
Best, David L. Cavicke
Republican Chief of Staff, Committee on Energy and Commerce
