Synopsis

Excerpt from H. R. 5000, Recyclable Materials, Plastics in the Environment: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Natural Resources, Agriculture Research and Environment of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, U. S. House of Representatives, One Hundredth Congress, Second Session, August 10, 1988

The series of studies mandated by hr. 5000 will provide a broad er understanding of our waste stream and the impact of recycling and degradability in a number of areas, including national security and the Office of Recycling Research and Information.

I strongly endorse this bill and this concept that recycling and degradability should both be a part of the solution.

In summary, Mr. Chairman, degradability is one of the solutions which I believe must be pursued in response to our nation's prob lem with solid waste. It offers the promise of progress in all these areas. I realize that this is an issue which will not be resolved or even properly discussed within a few weeks or months, however I look forward to the debate on degradability and the other potential solutions in our solid waste problems.
