Transcript of Press Conference Announcing Settlement in United States Et Al vs. American Electric Power
Date:10/9/2007

tion of over a dozen national, state and local environmental groups, organizations such as the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Sierra Club and the National Wildlife Federation. And I want to thank these partners on behalf of EPA.

Finally, I would like to also specifically express my gratitude to the hard working and dedicated EPA employees and our colleagues at the Department of Justice.
