Modernizing the NEPA Process in the Context of the Gulf Disaster

摘要

Jim McElfish: We at ELI are particularly fond of NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act].1 Our Articles of Incorporation were coincidentally filed on the day that NEPA passed the U.S. Senate in December 1969, so our history as an organization is coextensive with our initial environmental policy. It's an association that we think continues to be important. I'm pleased to have a really excellent panel with us today. Ted Boling is a senior counsel for environmental policy and public information at the Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ).
