A BILL
Supporting the Clean-Air Act and opposing the Traxler-Hillis Bill,
H.R. 4.400.

BILL HISTORY
The Clean-Air Act expired October 1st of this year. A Lou Harris Poll
shows that over 80% of the American Public support either maintaining
or strengthening the Clean Air Act.
The present administration supports
the Traxler-Hillis bill, advocates the doubling of current CO emmission
standards and the relaxation of NO and particulate standards. Denver
already exceeds public health stanaards for CO emmissions on 1 of every
three days. Acid rain in the Rocky Mountains exists and needs to be
diminished. We believe that the administration's proposals pose a threat
to public health and environment in Colorado

BE IT ENACTED by the Exectuive Council of the University of Colorado Student Union,
THAT:
SECTION 1:

A letter of support for the current version of the Clean-Air Act
and opposing the Traxler-Hillis Bill, be sent to President Reagan,
EPA Administrator Anne Gorsuch, and U.S. Senators and Representatives
before 11-17-81.

SECTION 2:

Costs incurred shall come out of the Executive Council Reserve
account.

SECTION 3:

This bill shall become effective upon passage.
