Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, we have been systematically polluting our air."

"This bill creates a Federal research and technical assistance program to seek ways of disposing of the millions of tons of solid wastes that we generate each year."

"The air that is the very essence of life has become a carrier for disease and for early death."

"In the United States alone it accounts for more than $11 billion in economic damages."
