Tliis bill would estlabllsh a Joint t'ommttiteo on the Envir onment com|M)sed of 11 members from both illouse and Senate. Alfho ig'h the new Joint Com mittee would have no legislative jurisdiction arlj would be limited to a .st'Udy fumdion, it would pro vide a much-needed focus for the study and investigation of the n.alion’s enviromenfa’l pr blrms. The Cammittcc woold he author ized to conduct continuing .studies of envircanmenilal matleis and to devel'-'j) polities encouraging pri- vite investment in moans to im prove environmental ciualily. In al'dllion, it wo.i'd review Pro.si- (lential recommendations on en- vh-innielal poliev ad ivport an- ually on Us alctivilios. At the present time, the ma chinery of the lOongress is not conducive to a broad overview elf environ'mentifl policy and legis- la'fion. Traditional committee jur- i.sdfction tends to divide envircan- mental hi'ls among many com mittees. Thi.s ro.sults in a lack of CMordirtafi'On and the failure to develop national policy in this im portant Hell. iFor instance, water pollution bills ore eonsider- e.J in the I'uhiic Works Comn.it- tee, wiiile air p.illulion bills lall under llie 'aiifhorily ol riie Inlor- .stale and Foreign Commerce iCominlitee.
