Regulatory-reform cure: worse than the disease

The Carter Administration's proposed regulatory reform measures elicit a strong negative reaction from John Quarles, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency. His chief criticisms focus on the interagency review provisions which, he maintains, attempt to meet the deficiencies of a bureaucracy by building an additional bureaucracy. The Regulatory Reform Bill of 1979 would give substantial power to the head of the Office of Management and Budget. One of the chief spokesmen for the Bill, and for the whole executive effort in this area, is James T. McIntyre, head of OMB. Some conflicting views of McIntyre and Quarles are reported.
