This Friends of the Earth (FOE) publication, prepared by FOE and 9 other environmental groups, documents hundreds of actions of the Reagan environmental record which, they feel, endangers the quality of life of all Americans. These actions by the Reagan administration that endanger the quality of life because of their radical approach to the environment adds up to their indictment that the President has broken a public trust. The laws remain intact, however, and public support for their enforcement increases. The report is divided into eight major sections: pollution control, federal public lands and natural resources, energy leasing, water resources, energy, regulatory reform, Council on Environmental Quality, and the international environment. Readers are urged to relate their concerns and support compliance with environmental laws. (DCK)
