Cuts in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) budget were softened only slightly by the legislature, but representatives of both parties now warn that the $60 million cut in energy-related research could affect the agency's operation and will undermine the information base necessary for environmental policy decisions. Total manpower reductions will be only two percent, with the largest cut in the public information and awareness program. Agency personnel fault Donald E. Crabbill, who feels the agency is too large, for most of the cuts. The new administrator, Ann M. Gorsuch, is expected to allow the agency to become third rate. 2 tables. (DCK)
