ExxonMobil State Department Meeting (7/25/01)

Randy Randol, Senior Environmental Policy Advisor for ExxonMobil requested this meeting at the suggestion of a former Exxon board member then being appointed as the Ambassador to Sweden by the Bush Administration. The State Department breifing states that the Ambassador "feels that we should hear form Exxon-Mobil scientists who have perspectives on the climate change debate that are not consistent with the science that has supported our climate policy until now," and that "Mr. Randol may suggest that these [scientific] uncertanties argue agaisnt precipitous action." The memo ends "We thank Exxon/Mobil for its views and active involvment in the issue."
