APPLAUSE, CENSURE FOR AIR STANDARDS

摘要

On June 25, President Clinton approved strict new national ambient air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter. Within hours, the standards and the Administration were being attacked by industry, some members of Congress, and the nation's mayors. These opponents of the air standards have vowed to keep on fighting them. Supporters of the standards, including most environmental and public health groups, have done some muscle flexing of their own, promising to make sure the standards survive whatever legal and legislative assaults their opponents can muster.
