Original publisher: Washington : U.S. G.P.O. : For sale by the Supt. of Docs., U.S. G.P.O., [Congressional Sales Office], 2002. OCLC Number: (OCoLC)49393770 Subject: Environmental protection -- United States -- Finance. Excerpt: ... 11 turbing. I am all for compassionate enforcement, but I think we need to be real with regard to credible deterrence. It is hard to be-lieve that this budget, which cuts 269 enforcement positions, will make the prospect of enforcement more credible to polluters. I understand that most of the resources freed by these cuts are going to the States. I want to help States, Mr. Chairman, but not at the expense of Federal enforcement. It is too important. I believe the people of New Jersey depend on it, reflect on it, think that EPA has done a good job. They depend on Federal enforcement of the Clean Air Act to ad-dress pollution coming in from other States, which contributes to New Jersey's ozone problems. We certainly depend on Federal en-forcement to clean up our 114 Superfund sites. They depend on Federal enforcement backstops to strengthen compliance with the rest of our environmental laws. These changes in enforcement policy and cuts to others areas, I believe, will hurt New Jersey and send a wrong message to the pol-luters across the Nation. I will be getting back with more detail, but I hope that we can all work together to maybe increase these numbers somewhat so that we can take this and really apply strong environmental standards for our kids and for communities.
