The [Washington POST] fronts a report carried inside elsewhere that [U.S.] EPA administrator Christine Todd Whitman told reporters yesterday that the Kyoto protocol for emission reduction--signed by the U.S. but not ratified--is (in the paper's words) "dead as far as the administration was concerned." The Post has the extra dimension of an "administration source" saying that the White House recently sought advice from the State Department about how the U.S. can legally withdraw its signature from the agreement. The paper foresees a stunned reaction from European Union officials.
