Founded in the early 1970s, ACCF's motto is "economic growth through sound tax, regulatory and environmental policies."

ACCF brags it is "a well connected spokesman for American business in Washington," a "key player" in policy circles and "one of the most influenctial organizations operating behind the scenes" in the Washington policy making arena (from web site "about ACCF" March 2004). According to Senate records, ACCF officers Mark Bloomfield, Margo Thorning, and Mari Lee Dunn were registered as lobbyists for ACCF on Climate Change Policy and the Kyoto Protocol for the years 1998, 1999, and 2001-2003. They argued that Kyoto would have a severe negative economic impact on the US economy.In August 2002, ACCF established its International affiliate, the International Council for Capitol Formation. Based in Brussels, it focuses on "reducing tax, regulatory, anti-trust, and trade barriers" primarily in Europe (www.iccfglobal.org, March 2004).

[edit] March 2004

"Given the severe macroeconomic impacts the Kyoto Protocol would impose on the United States, including reducing U.S. GDP by 1-4 percent, slowing wage growth significantly, worsening the distribution of income, and reducing growth in living standards, Dr. Thorning called for a new approach. Voluntary measures to reduce CO2 emissions should include modifications to U.S. tax policy that reduce the cost of capital for energy-efficient investments." Source:ACCF website 3/04
