Wednesday, August 27, 2003Report finds EPA lacked data to support its claims for relaxing air pollution rules

Sen. James Jeffords, I-Vt., the No. 2 senator on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said the report was another indication that the Bush administration's weakening of the Clean Air Act was unwarranted.
"This report should be the final nail in the coffin of environmental credibility for this administration," he said.
