WHITE HOUSE & EXECUTIVE

The EPA transmitted to Congress a major final rule described as a partial repeal of carbon-pollution standards for fossil-fuel-fired power plants. The House referred it to the Energy and Commerce Committee under the Congressional Review Act process, without voting that day to approve or block it. In separate remarks, Rep. Katherine Clark criticized what she called the administration’s attacks on science and research.
