Rep. Waxman, Sen. Boxer, and Rep. Solis Denounce Leaked Bush Administration Plan to Promote Human Pesticide Experiments

The Democrats criticize a Bush Administration plan to promote pesticide experimentation upon humans. The plan, contained in a final draft rule, was leaked to the legislators by a concerned Administration official who requested that the original copy of the plan not be duplicated in its entirety and widely distributed out of concern for anonymity. According to the EPA’s communications plan, the Administration will officially announce the pesticide experimentation plan later this week as a final regulation.
