The document is an invitation email for a Congressional briefing on a new report by Dr. Willie Soon from the George C. Marshall Institute. The report challenges the claim that the 20th century was the warmest in the last 1000 years and that the 1990s was the warmest decade. The briefing will discuss the report's findings that the temperature record for the past 1000 years is too incomplete to support conclusions about specific time periods being the warmest. Lunch will be provided at the briefing on May 16, 2003 from noon to 1:30 pm in room G-50 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Reservations are required.
