Pelosi Statement on Senate Committee Passage of Kerry-Boxer Bill

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi released
the following statement on passage of clean energy jobs legislation authored
by Senators John Kerry and Barbara Boxer by the Senate Environment and Public
Works Committee:

"Today's passage of comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation in the
Senate Environment and Public Works Committee brings us one step closer to
transforming our economy and creating good-paying clean energy jobs while
protecting our environment for future generations.

"Because there is much common ground between this legislation and the American
Clean Energy and Security Act that passed the House earlier this year, we have
a strong foundation for progress. I look forward to working with the Senate to
send historic and transformative clean energy legislation to President Obama
for his signature into law."
