"President Nixon created an Environmental Protection Agency in 1970, saying that we must preserve 'the earth as a place both habitable by and hospitable to man.'"

"EPA has played a critical role in cleaning up our environment over the last number of decades."

"Does anyone disagree that providing safe drinking water to everyone is an essential service that we must provide to every American?"
