EPA Endocrine Program Advocate May Chair Agency's House Funding Panel

摘要

Rep. James Moran (D-VA), a leading proponent of accelerating EPA's endocrine disruptor screening program (EDSP), is likely to take a just-created vacancy for the chairmanship of the House Appropriations Committee responsible for crafting the agency's appropriations law.rnThe vacancy for the chair of the appropriations panel's interior subcommittee comes after current chair Rep. Norman Dicks (D-WA) is set to take over the chairmanship of the appropriations committee's defense panel following the death of its chairman, Rep. John Murtha (D-PA). Moran is next in seniority on the interior and related agencies subcommittee behind Dicks.
