On July 10, the House Appropriations subcommittee approved a 34%
reduction in EPA's budget for the next fiscal year (beginning 
October 1).  If these cuts are approved by all of Congress they will 
cripple EPA's ability to enforce existing environmental laws.

This drastic cut is NOT needed to reduce the deficit.  The $200 Million 
saved would only reduce the deficit by one tenth of 1%.  This is simply 
a ploy by big industry to eliminate environmental protection in this 
country.
  
I would like to urge you to write to your Congressional Representatives 
and ask them to oppose these cuts.  You should be able to find the name
and address of your local Congressional Rep in the Blue section at the
beginning of your Yellow Pages.  In addition, you can send E-mail - if 
you have access to the web, go to the site:

It has a great setup for sending email to any of California's state
and federal legislators who have email.  For those who can't get into 
the web, here are the email addresses of Senator Boxer and President 
Clinton:
  
  Senator Boxer:  senator @ boxer.senate.gov
  
  President Clinton:   president@whitehouse.gov
