Sound science, regulatory review, top list as new Congress convenes

Article Abstract:

Republican congressional leaders, as the 105th Congress convenes, promise to take a more bipartisan approach to the reform of environmental laws. The Republicans, who insisted on wide-scale changes to the government's environmental program, intend to review more closely the regulatory decisions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They will make full use of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act to review and veto major environmental regulations.
