Statement by Carol M. Browner Administrator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

FOR RELEASE: MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1999

Statement
by
Carol M. Browner
Administrator
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency



The Republican budget resolution could roll back the basic protections to public health and the environment that Americans want and deserve. These cuts, if enacted, could affect EPA’s ability to set public health standards that protect our communities. They could severely limit the enforcement of national laws that ensure safer food and safe drinking water. These cuts could limit our special efforts aimed specifically at protecting the health of children and communities. They could mean that cleanups of toxic waste sites will be delayed in communities across the nation. And they could mean that states will lose millions in resources for providing their citizens with healthier air and cleaner water.
