Congresswomen Ross and Foushee criticise the closing of the EPA's Office of Research and Development, urging its reversal.
Quiver AI Summary
Congresswomen Deborah Ross and Valerie Foushee have expressed strong opposition to the proposed closure of the EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD). In a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, they highlighted the critical role of ORD in protecting human health and ecosystems, citing its long history of research that informs environmental policies.
The Congresswomen emphasized the bipartisan support for maintaining the office, referencing a recent Senate Appropriations Committee vote that would require ORD's continuation. They warned of the detrimental effects of closing this office on communities and called for an immediate reversal of the decision.
ORD's work includes research on air and water safety, and the agency's Research Triangle Park campus in North Carolina employs over 2,000 federal staff dedicated to environmental research and regulation. Ross and Foushee pointed out the public's vested interest in clean air and water, urging swift action to preserve the office's important functions.
