Democrats Push to Stop EPA Library Closures

In an ongoing effort to protect and preserve the vast resources of the Environmental Protection Agency, Reps. Gordon, Dingell, Waxman, and Oberstar call on the agency to stop efforts to close libraries across the country pending a review by Congress. In a letter to EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson, Ranking Members Reps. Bart Gordon (D-TN), John Dingell (D-MI), Henry A. Waxman (D-CA) and James Oberstar (D-MN) expressed their serious concerns over the current implementation of “library reorganization” plans and the “destruction or disposition” of library holdings.
