Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Department of the Environment Act: Hearing Before the Committee on Government Affairs United States Senate One Hundred Third Congress U.S. Senate, Committee on Governmental Affairs, Washington, DC. The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:40 a.m., in room SD-342, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. John Glenn, Chairman of the Committee, presiding. Present: Senators Glenn, Levin, Lieberman, Akaka, Roth, Cochran and McCain. Opening Statement Of Senator Glenn Chairman Glenn. The hearing will be in order. Good morning and welcome to today´s hearing on making EPA a Cabinet-level department. Our bill to accomplish this, S. 171, was introduced on January 21st of this year and has been referred to this Committee, and it currently has 25 Senate cosponsors. S. 171 would elevate the Environmental Protection Agency to Cabinet-level status. In addition, it would establish a bureau of environmental statistics to compile, analyze and publish a comprehensive set of environmental quality statistics and prepare an annual report. I would add that one of the things we looked at was that whatever your bent is on things dealing with the environment, you can find some set of statistics from some group to back up whatever it is you want to do. I would just say that without any qualification, because we had examples of that when we had the Clean Air Act on the floor. What we would like to see this Bureau of Environmental Statistics evolve into over a period of time is a group to analyze all of these different statistics and come up with what we can better rely upon. It would be akin to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which was established to do the same thing, to make one set of figures that we all can play from. The bill also would also set up a Commission on Improving Environmental Protection to enhance and strengthen the management of existing programs within the department. Finally, the bill calls for the establishment of an international greenhouse gas monitoring program and an international energy conference on energy efficiency and renewable energy.
