HR 11896. The vote is on Rep. William Ford’s amendment to require public hearings to investigate industry claims that factories must close down or lay off workers because of pollution control costs. This would help to protect workers and communities from economic dislocation and environmental blackmail by industries. (Adopted 274-118; March 29, 1972; “Yes” is the correct vote.)
