On the recordAugust 2, 2001
Reduced-risk pesticides can provide farmers and others with alternative pesticides that may present lower risks to public health and the environment, and can help ensure that farmers continue to have the tools they need. Also, given the difficult task that EPA faces in making timely, scientific decision about pesticides, providing the tools that EPA needs to improve its decision making should be a high priority. I will work to ensure that these items receive every appropriate consideration as the VA/HUD bill moves forward.
