OSTI ID:5491136

Part 2 of the hearing record covers the testimony of Lee Thomas, Acting Deputy Administrator, and others from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Although the focus was on implementation of the Superfund, the committee also sought information on the implementation of environmental laws concerning toxic substances, insecticides, etc.; the status of environmental research and development programs; and efforts to ease the burden of environmental regulations on polluting industries. Of concern to the committee was the Agency's loss of effectiveness because of poor leadership and poor judgment in the area of toxic wastes. (DCK)
