BUSH `GREENHOUSE' CALL PLEASES CONFERENCE

President Bush, responding to criticism of his global warming policy, told an international conference Wednesday he has "never considered research a substitute for action."

His remarks at the close of the 18-nation White House conference were warmly received by many of the same delegates who a day earlier criticized the administration for failing to deal directly with global warming.

"We came here to find common ground and we've found common ground - that research and action are inseparable," Padraig Flynn, environment minister from Ireland and an official of the European Community, told reporters.
