Caucus & COW
Overview
Requests that the U.S. Congress act to clearly define the Environmental Protection Agency's powers and duties.
History
In July of 1970, President Richard Nixon signed Reorganization Plan No.3 calling for the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to know more about the total environment – land, water and air… to develop that knowledge and to effectively ensure that protection, development and enhancement of the total environment itself. By the end of 1970 the U.S. Senate confirmed the EPA's first director and thereafter was initially organized via EPA Order 1110.2.
Today, the EPA continues to work to ensure that Americans have clean air, land and water through the development and enforcement of regulations relating to the environment. Additionally, the agency also studies environmental issues, administers grants, publishes information and educates the public (EPA).
Provisions
1. Urges the U.S. Congress to clearly define the EPA's power and duties.
2. Requests the Arizona Secretary of State transmit a copy of this memorial to:
a. the President of the U.S. Senate;
b. the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives; and
c. each member of Congress from Arizona.
