I rather expected that, but thought I'd try anyway. I get to D.C. several times each year and will be sure to be in touch in advance of the next time. Meanwhile, please extend to the Administrator my appreciation for the perspective he brings to the EPA.

Hi Cal--great to meet you via email. Unfortunately the Administrator will not be available to meet during those days. My apologies for the delay in letting you know. Is there a possibility that you might be back in the DC area in the next couple months?

Environmental Protection Agency
Office of the Administrator, 1101A
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20460
Dear Mr. Pruitt,
As the National Spokesman of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, I, among 130 scientists, economists, other scholars, and hundreds of other citizens, am delighted to congratulate you on becoming the new Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Each of us signed a letter of support that was entered into the Record of your confirmation hearing before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee by the Chair, Senator John Barrasso (R-WY).
The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation stands firmly for the pursuit of a strong, healthy environment by applying rigorous and transparent science, economics, and ethics to a regulatory process that respects hard-working Americans, entrepreneurs, and property owners. We believe that when regulatory agencies respect the Constitutional balance between federal and state governments and follow legislative intent, our citizens are best able to flourish and enjoy the benefits of liberty.
I will be in Washington March 22-24 for the 12th International Conference on Climate Change and would be grateful if I could meet with you or your designee very briefly on one of those days. The Cornwall Alliance seeks to educate our constituents on the progress you're making and the challenges you face. Thus, I would like to discuss ways in which the Cornwall Alliance, with its significant influence especially among American evangelicals and conservatives, can help you achieve our mutual goals.
I can be reached by phone at 954-547-5370 (cell) or email at Calvin@CornwallAlliance.org. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
E. Calvin Beisner, Ph.D. Founder and National Spokesman Attachment: CA letter to EPW January 17, 2017
January 17, 2017
Honorable Members of the Environment and Public Works Committee, United States Senate:
We write to you as evangelical and mainline Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Jewish scientists, economists, legal scholars, policy experts, and religious leaders in support of the nomination of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to the office of Administrator of the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
The EPA has the crucial task of writing and enforcing regulations that apply statutes passed by Congress and signed by the President to protect the life and health of Americans. Its work necessarily integrates science, economics, law, politics, and ethics, all of which are rooted in religious worldviews. A good Administrator must demonstrate expertise in at least some of these, and mature understanding of and receptivity to the insights of all. Scott Pruitt does.
As Oklahoma Attorney General, Mr. Pruitt has demonstrated his legal expertise in successful litigation to require corporations--including the energy corporations so prominent in his state's economy--to abide by environmental laws and regulations. He has publicly expressed his conviction that the EPA's role is not to create law through regulations that exceed the scope of enabling legislation but to implement the intent of that legislation and nothing more. That is, he recognizes that environmental policy
17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA
ED_001523B_00005137-00006
should be determined by the people's elected representatives, not by unelected, unaccountable members of the federal bureaucracy. He has also publicly opposed the abuse of the court system by use of "sue-and-settle" to reach sweetheart deals between the EPA and environmental advocacy groups. These are some of the obvious ways in which his legal expertise qualifies him for Administrator.
Mr. Pruitt has also demonstrated understanding of and open-mindedness toward scientific insights crucial to the formulation and implementation of environmental regulation. He is prepared to hear all sides in debates over the risks and benefits of various activities that come under the purview of the EPA.
Finally, as a committed evangelical Christian, Mr. Pruitt has an unbending commitment to human life and health, especially to the protection of the most vulnerable in society. We are pleased to note that a large group of religious leaders, including presidents of some of America's largest and most prestigious theological seminaries, has also written to you in his support for this reason, and we add our voices to theirs.
Some radical environmentalists and religious activists oppose Mr. Pruitt because he does not embrace their exaggerated fears of human-induced global warming--fears that go well beyond the empirical evidence crucial to genuine science--or their antipathy to the development of the abundant, reliable, affordable energy indispensable to lifting and keeping whole societies out of poverty and the disease and premature death that invariably accompany it. We urge you therefore to confirm Mr. Pruitt's nomination, and we commit ourselves to supporting him in the confirmation process. We welcome you to call on us to assist in any way we can.

Dear Mr. Pruitt,
As the National Spokesman of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, I, among 130 scientists, economists, other scholars, and hundreds of other citizens, am delighted to congratulate you on becoming the new Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Each of us signed a letter of support that was entered into the Record of your confirmation hearing before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee by the Chair, Senator John Barrasso (R-WY).
The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation stands firmly for the pursuit of a strong, healthy environment by applying rigorous and transparent science, economics, and ethics to a regulatory process that respects hard-working Americans, entrepreneurs, and property owners. We believe that when regulatory agencies respect the Constitutional balance between federal and state governments and follow legislative intent, our citizens are best able to flourish and enjoy the benefits of liberty.
I will be in Washington March 22-24 for the 12th International Conference on Climate Change and would be grateful if I could meet with you or your designee very briefly on one of those days. The Cornwall Alliance seeks to educate our constituents on the progress you're making and the challenges you face. Thus, I would like to discuss ways in which the Cornwall Alliance, with its significant influence especially among American evangelicals and conservatives, can help you achieve our mutual goals.
I can be reached by phone at 954-547-5370 (cell) or email at . I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
E. Calvin Beisner, Ph.D.

Attachment: CA letter to EPW January 17, 2017

January 17, 2017
Honorable Members of the Environment and Public Works Committee, United States Senate:
We write to you as evangelical and mainline Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Jewish scientists, economists, legal scholars, policy experts, and religious leaders in support of the nomination of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to the office of Administrator of the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
The EPA has the crucial task of writing and enforcing regulations that apply statutes passed by Congress and signed by the President to protect the life and health of Americans. Its work necessarily integrates science, economics, law, politics, and ethics, all of which are rooted in religious worldviews. A good Administrator must demonstrate expertise in at least some of these, and mature understanding of and receptivity to the insights of all. Scott Pruitt does.
As Oklahoma Attorney General, Mr. Pruitt has demonstrated his legal expertise in successful litigation to require corporations--including the energy corporations so prominent in his state's economy--to abide by environmental laws and regulations. He has publicly expressed his conviction that the EPA's role is not to create law through regulations that exceed the scope of enabling legislation but to implement the intent of that legislation and nothing more. That is, he recognizes that environmental policy should be determined by the people's elected representatives, not by unelected, unaccountable members of the federal bureaucracy. He has also publicly opposed the abuse of the court system by use of "sue-and-settle" to reach sweetheart deals between the EPA and environmental advocacy groups. These are some of the obvious ways in which his legal expertise qualifies him for Administrator.
Mr. Pruitt has also demonstrated understanding of and open-mindedness toward
17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA
ED_001523B_00005138-00005
scientific insights crucial to the formulation and implementation of environmental regulation. He is prepared to hear all sides in debates over the risks and benefits of various activities that come under the purview of the EPA.
Finally, as a committed evangelical Christian, Mr. Pruitt has an unbending commitment to human life and health, especially to the protection of the most vulnerable in society. We are pleased to note that a large group of religious leaders, including presidents of some of America's largest and most prestigious theological seminaries, has also written to you in his support for this reason, and we add our voices to theirs.
Some radical environmentalists and religious activists oppose Mr. Pruitt because he does not embrace their exaggerated fears of human-induced global warming--fears that go well beyond the empirical evidence crucial to genuine science--or their antipathy to the development of the abundant, reliable, affordable energy indispensable to lifting and keeping whole societies out of poverty and the disease and premature death that invariably accompany it. We urge you therefore to confirm Mr. Pruitt's nomination, and we commit ourselves to supporting him in the confirmation process. We welcome you to call on us to assist in any way we can.
