Julian Bond: “The underlying amendment circumvents the science-based process at EPA which includes explicit and stringent protections…”

On the recordJuly 18, 2000
The underlying amendment circumvents the science-based process at EPA which includes explicit and stringent protections for children. Additionally, it places children at risk by prohibiting EPA-approved products that protect our children from diseases such as asthma, encephalitis, malaria, Lyme disease, brown recluse spiders, and others. EPA does not support this amendment, and the amendment is based on the shockingly false premise that EPA does not care enough about children to protect them as mandated by law.
