摘要

Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joseph Lieberman (I/D-Conn.) will release their climate change bill the week of May 10 after having nailed down virtually all of its details, with the exception of offshore drilling provisions now under fire following the BP oil spill, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I/D-Conn.) told reporters May 6.rnThe two senators will release the legislation "hopefully next week" and "probably without" the bill's only Republican supporter, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C), who withdrew his support to protest Democrats' plans to move on immigration before the climate bill.
