* m-B For Further Funds For Pollution Fight By SENATOR SAM ERVIN I Three year* ego, Congress 'enacted a far-reaching water pollutton control program. The Clean Waters Restoration Act at 1966, which I cosponsored, authorized a five-year, 63.5bll lion program at mefa-wng gov ernmental funds for construction of waste treatment and sewage facilities. The Act’s objective was to step op activity to re - move pollution from our water «supplies. X No one seems to questhm the need to heed the warnings Vof ecologists and Conservation ists that we must clean iq> our - streams or risk polluting our life support system. The quas ■ tion is one at national priorities ' and whether we can risk further delay in financing the construc tion of necessary waste treat -jSj.-X--"'.'-. - ■ K. V;X ' V. moot (Militias. La«t weak, the Senate in re viewing the progress at oar m tkmol effort to remove pollution from our water resources con cluded that the program was lag ging because the Federal Gov ernment was not meeting pro mises with appropriations. For example, in fiscal 1968, the first Tear of the program, Congress appropriated only (203 million of the (400 million authorised under the 1966 Act. Last year, Congress appropriated only (214 million of an authorised (700 million for the program. This year, the budget request was for another (214 million oat of an authorized d billion.

The Sen ate an November 12th puled the appropriation wUehcontain ed the $1 billion for pollution Control. I voted for the bill. The measure now goes to a. Senate-House conference. Ear lier, the House approved (600 million for water pollution con trol after rejecting a $1 billion appropriation for two votes. Whatever compromise Is resell ad, Congress hu, recognized that the nation must accelerate the funding of Its dean waters program. Congressional action In this field comes at a time wtwneonw munltles are faced with critical waste treatment problems caused for population growth and Industrial expansion almost un-. paralleled In our history. Such growth hu overtaxed waste treatment facilities In a score at cities, towns and villages and hu resulted In (he dumping ot filth In our streams and riv ers. I am certainly mindful is this era of inflation of the need for prudent spending. At the same time, I recognise that there are Some problems that must be re solved fay governmental action without delay. It aeema to me tint pollution control constitu tes such a program. Tbs North Carolina General Assembly stated In eloquent lan guage the needfor pollution con trol when it enacted our state's Water Use Act of 1(87. It de clared that the “general wel fare and public interact re quire that the water resources of the State be put to beneficial use to the fulleet extent to wUcl they are capable, aufoeetto rea sonable regulation in order to conserve these resources andto provide and maintain conditions Which are conducive to the de velopment and use of water re sources." We need but look about us to see the pollution of our streams and rivers. We can all do much to purify our water supplies,but it la also essential that Congress appropriate sufficient funds for .an orderly program "to erase ‘MWjMWKfllt^tfomour waters tfnrUhig reasto, I am hopeful that the House' will concur it the Senate action taken last week ■W .i/4 REPRESENTING APPALACHIAN’S 525 STAFF EMPLOYEES—Emmit Burden (left) and LouU 1 Bell talk with one of the more than 500 ASU staff members whose voice they represent in n*i«igh as administrative officers of the North Carolina State Employees Association.
