ExxonMobil achieved an even greater success in directing Bush administration climate change diplomacy. Urged on by the company, the White House hired Harlan Watson (no relation to Robert) as its chief climate negotiator. In May 2002, Watson announced that the U.S. would not participate in the Kyoto process for at least 10 years, saying that the White House "wanted no part" of a 2005 international review of greenhouse gas reductions. "The next time we take stock on climate change," he said, "has been set by the president at 2012."
I believe I read somewhere yesterday that comments on the document were to be sent to Harlan Watson. Sorry, I can't remember where I read that.
