Book excerpt: Excerpt from Voluntary Environmental Cleanup and Economic Redevelopment Act of 1993: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Superfund, Recycling, and Solid Waste Management of the Committee on Environment and Public Works, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:00 a.m. in room 406, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Frank R. Lautenberg [chairman of the subcommittee] presiding. Present: Senators Lautenberg and Boxer. Opening Statement Of Hon. Frank R. Lautenberg, U.S. Senator From The State Of New Jersey Senator Lautenberg. Good morning. My apologies. I try not to start subcommittee hearings late, but I was delayed on the Senate Floor. I'm delighted to have a chance to have a hearing on my legislation, the Voluntary Environmental Cleanup and Economic Redevelopment Act of 1993. Would you believe we haven't developed a satisfactory acronym yet? We've got a team assigned to it, though. [Laughter.] Senator Lautenberg. One of the key questions facing Congress is how to get the economy back on track. The bottom line is clear; unemployment is too high, investment is too low. All here are, I'm sure, aware of the fact that one of my highest priorities is the condition of our environment and that which we leave to future generations. When we have a chance to improve the environment and, at the same time, to stimulate economic development and create jobs, that's the rare kind of opportunity that we want to get very aggressive with. On April 3, I introduced S. 773, the Voluntary Environmental Cleanup and Economic Redevelopment Act of 1993. This legislation will foster the voluntary cleanup of potentially hundreds of thousands of sites around the country for economic development and job creation. Initiatives like this are critical to my State of New Jersey, whose industrial legacy has left too many contaminated sites, but the legislation would help every State in the country. This legislation is good for the economy as well as for the environment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
