Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. letter to P. F., March 18, 1997

ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR. c BUDGET BANKING ANO FINANCIAL SERVICES ASSISTANT MAJORITY WHIP ConjrtSB o£ tfje (Unit ей States Jjouee of Kepreoentattots iSHaefjington, 2D£ 20515-2002 March 18, 1997 Dear^^£^^| Thank you for expressing to me your support for federal environmental and alternative energy programs. As a member of Congress, I have cast a number of votes which I believe are important from the standpoint of environmental protection. In May 1995 I voted against H. R. 961, a Republican-sponsored Clean Water Act reauthorization bill, because I believed it would have weakened laws important to the Chesapeake Bay. I also voted to delete from an appropriations bill 17 legislative provisions restricting EPA’s ability to enforce environmental laws and regulations important to the Bay. I also supported important legislation to reauthorize the Safe Drinking Water Act. Moreover, I also fought to preserve funding for an important environmental clean up program at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Harford County. Thanks again for writing. Be assured that I will continue to give each proposal affecting the environment which comes before Congress thorough and careful consideration. Sincerely, Robert-C. Ehrlich, Jr. Member of Congress
