ir** 10 SANOV (O f* ) POST Thwf» Jonuory 7 1982 ($•< 2) clean air NWF In a letter calling for the renewal of the Clean Air Act w ith o u t c r ip p lin g amendment», the National W ildlife Federation has urged key members of Con gress ’not to be misled by the false argument that Americans are weary of laws and regulations that protect their health the air they breathe and the water they drink Citing five recent public opinion polls, Dr. Jay D Hair, executive vice presi dent of the conservation group, reminded members of three Congressional committees that “ a vast majority of Americans of all political persuasions are strongly opposed to any watering down of our basic environmental protection laws ” The most topheavy poll cited by the NWF executive was a Louis Harris survey indicating that 80 percent of the American people like to keep the Clean Air Act just as it is or make it stricter, while only 17 per cent favor a less strict law H a m s testified before a House subcommittee on Oct. IS that “ not a single m a jo r segment of the p u b lic w an ts the e n vironm ental laws made less strict.” Hair also cited a New York TimesCBS News poll published Oct 4. in which 67 p e rc e n t of the respondents wanted to “ m a in ta in present en vironmental laws even at a cost in economic growth ” A Minneapolis Tribune poll published Oct 18 reports 62 percent of those surveyed thought “ protec ting the environment is m o re im p o r ta n t th an economic growth—even if it slows the economy and costs some jobs." In a recent survey of voter opinions in eight mountain states, conducted by a Phoenix reseach firm and reported in the Chris tian Science Monitor of Nov 12. "fewer than a third of the Westerners in te rv ie w e d fe lt it was necessary to sacrifice en vironmental safeguards to have sufficient economic growth," Hair said, ad ding. "and this group in cluded many Westerners who rated themselves as political conservatives " NW F was not surprised at these “ topheavy, pro en viron m ental" figures, Hair said, because in a Federation survey earlier this year, at the height of the national debate over “ over re g u la tio n .” only 11 5 percent of N W F ’s members thought the coun try had "too much" en vironmental regulation E igh ty-seven percent thought the country had either "just about the right amount" or "too little” en vironmental regulation January 3 10 17 24 31 4 5 6 7 11 12 13 14 18 19 20 21 25 26 27 28 1 8 15 22 29 2 9 16 23 30 Order seed catalogs and begin to plan this year’s vegetable garden.
