PRESIDENT CLINTON and VICE PRESIDENT GORE:
DEFENDING OUR ENVIRONMENT AGAINST
THE CONGRESSIONAL ASSAULT

While President Clinton proposes significant new investments to protect our environment and public health, Congress works behind closed doors to roll back protections already in place. The last Congress tried a direct assault on the environment. But the President -- and the American people -- wouldn't stand for it. So this Congress is trying a different tactic: the sneak attack. While refusing to fully fund the President's priorities, Congress is loading up budget bills with special-interest "riders."

Congress Shortchanges Environmental Priorities....

....And Launches a Special-Interest Sneak Attack
