On the recordSeptember 4, 1996
If the chairman would yield, I would ask whether any of the money in the fiscal year 1997 funding for particulate research will go to implementing an ambient air quality and emissions monitoring program, and will EPA be placing the monitors, or simply telling the States to do it? We want to know not just whether this expense will bring any health benefits, but also whether it will create serious unfunded mandates problems. I would ask the chairman if he would join me in requesting that the EPA send the appropriate committees of Congress, within 90 days, a description of the monitoring program they will be implementing and to what extent EPA will fund the cost of that program, and whether they intend to ask for additional funding in fiscal year 1998.
