 Below are statements on behalf of CAAC from:
"Pfizer is proud to have helped pioneer the concept of cost-effective and
operationally-superior use of emissions reduction credits before it had the
credibility bestowed by specific regulations. Clean Air Action is to be
commended for having made this first trade happen... it took both inspiration
AND perspiration... Clean Air Action was the catalyst for the change, being
aggressive and at the same time, credible and professional."
William Huhn, Director, Environment, Health & Safety, Legal Group - Pfizer

"I have been very pleased with Clean Air Action's support with our emission
trading program. The Mohegan Tribe of Indians of Connecticut has been purchasing
emission credits from Clean Air Action. During that process compliance required
modeling of emissions, review of mitigation options, and conformance with state
transportation planning. The conceptual development of the program required
innovative modeling approaches, many technical meetings with state staff, and a
detailed understanding of the fate and effects of mobile source chemical
emissions. Throughout the process Andre Lesperance of Clean Air Action provided
timely technical assistance, guidance, and creative approaches to analysis and
mitigation. It has been a pleasure working with Clean Air Action on this complex
and innovative program."

"Late in 1997 Michigan's Air Emission Trading Program was in imminent danger of
being disapproved by the US EPA. Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality
was having trouble even scheduling a meeting with representatives of the EPA to
review their concerns. Fearing that an excellent rule would be killed without so
much as a hearing in its defense, we, along with other companies with operations
in the state of Michigan, formed the Coalition to Advance Emission Trading and
hired Clean Air Action to provide advice on strategy, on discussing issues with
EPA Headquarters, and to conduct personal meetings with senior EPA and DEQ
staff. Thanks to your efforts, we were able to get EPA to the table with the DEQ
to talk through their concerns, to educate EPA about the many environmental
safeguards in the rule, and finally, to convince EPA that the rule merited a
conditional approval."

"On behalf of General Motors Corporation, I would like to thank Clean Air Action
for the work you have done in advancing the concepts and practice of open market
emission trading in the United States. Over the years, Clean Air Action has been
very active in the emission trading debate, providing assistance since 1994 to
the state of Michigan in developing its air trading rules, supporting the
Coalition to Advance Emission Trading, and remaining active and engaged in the
on-going work to get emission trading recognized at the national level. This
contribution is much appreciated."

"Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority saved approximately $7 million in
capital expenditures, achieved full compliance with the NOx RACT standard on
time, and, in fact, over the past eighteen months has surpassed the regulatory
requirements and prevented an additional 220 tons of NOx from begin emitted into
the air, thereby creating approximately 200 Emission Reduction Credits for
marketing to other facilities. All of this was only possible because Clean Air
Action provided a "no risk" opportunity to CRRA and invested time and money into
making a workable, practical and cost effective program that provided all the
right incentives for us to move forward with emission reductions and credit
trades. In retrospect, it really was an impossible task you tackled, and we and
the environment are better off for it."
