The House Agriculture Committee report on H.R. 2399, also known as the Forest Ecosystems and Atmospheric Pollution Research Act of 1987, examines the relationship of air pollution and forest ecosystems and the need for expanded research programs on air pollutants as they affect forest productivity. The report reviews studies in West German forests and the Appalachian Mountains on the effects of acid rain, and notes that the new legislation would broaden the scope of this work. The bill would provide funding and require a schedule of reports. There is a section-by-section analysis of the bill and an overview of committee considerations. The administration does not support the bill.
