FACILITATOR BROOKMAN: Good
morning, everybody, and welcome. This is the
Regional Standards Enforcement and Disclosure
for Furnaces and Central Air Conditioners and
Heat Pumps.
Today is Friday, December 16,
2011, here at the Forrestal Building in
Washington, D.C.
Glad you could make it, get an
early start on the day. We are going to have
welcoming remarks from John Cymbalsky to start
us off.
MR. CYMBALSKY: Thank you, Doug.
I would like to welcome everybody to the Joint
Public Meeting by the Department of Energy and
the Federal Trade Commission. To my
knowledge, we have never done this before. So
certainly this will be an interesting meeting.
