SUBJECT: Schedule for the Preparation of the U.S. Climate
Action Plan
As was discussed at the meeting of lead authors last week,
we will be forced to move rapidly to complete the U.S. National
Action Plan in time for distribution at the 6th Session of the
INC in Geneva (December 7-10). In order to expedite this work,
it was agreed that we would utilize the resources of a
contractor to compile and edit the text. The State Department
will bear the costs of this contract work.
In consultations with the contractor, we are proposing a
tentative schedule for the completion of the work. We have
attempted to balance the need of all drafters to have adequate
time to prepare their original texts, and for all agencies to
have adequate time to review the text once drafting has been
finished. We have also attempted to avoid conflicts with the
IPCC session -- when many of the drafters/reviewers will be in
Harare, Zimbabwe, and with the Thanksgiving recess. Because of
these constraints, we do not have much flexibility in the
distribution. schedule if we hope to complete the text in time for December
One possible place in which the schedule might slip is in
the printing (in the current schedule, we have allotted one
week for the text to be printed). Instead of printing the
final document, we could xerox several hundred copies of the
Plan overnight prior to departure for Geneva (i.e., making
copies on Friday, December 4). By doing so, we could gain an
additional week for interagency review -- although at: the cost
of a less polished final presentation.
Please review the attached schedule, and let us know if you
will be able to meet its timetable. We will attempt to
incorporate your suggestions into the schedule if feasible.
Please inform Jonathan Pershing, tel 202/647-4069, if you have
any recommendations or suggestions for revisions. We will work
with this schedule and assume that all agencies can comply
unless we hear otherwise by COB, Friday, October 23,
