besides, DDT is good fer you

[Guest guest]

Republicans on a congressional conference committee killed

legislation on Friday that sought to protect public school students

and staff from pesticides. The School Environment Protection Act

would have required schools to notify parents when pesticides were

being sprayed, and directed states to develop pest-management plans

that considered alternatives to toxic sprays. All Democrats on the

conference committee supported the legislation, but House Republicans

on the committee voted it down, claiming that implementing the act

would have been a bureaucratic hassle. Sen. Robert Torricelli

(D-N.J.), who sponsored the legislation, said there was no

explanation for the defeat " except the influence of the chemical

industry itself. "
