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

remember this when they
are asked, in the guise of
‘fine tuning.’ to make the
Clean Air Act less effective
than it now is "
NW F has 4.5 million
members and supporters
thoughout the U S. and a
total of 38.927 participated
in the poll
“The evidence is over
whelming," Hair said, that
Americans want to main
