The current plan for the Bush budget includes cutting, nay, obliterating the Environmental Protection Agency's library system. Not even the central catalog, the only record of the extensive collection of research and unique documents, would remain. The EPA would no longer know what information it had and that information would no longer be readily available to either the public or its own researchers.
A press release from the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility outlines the scope of the cuts and includes links to fuller information about the services provided by the EPA library system. Excerpts and key legislative contacts on the flip.
