CLEAN AIR HEARINGS
Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, on January 14th I announced that the Subcommittee on Environmental Pollution would hold legislative hearings February 9, 10, and 11 on proposed amendments to the Clean Air Act.
At that time an open invitation was extended to potential witnesses to write to the subcommittee in order that a hearings schedule could be developed. We kept that invitation open until the end of the month, and had received over 40 requests to testify when the list was closed Monday.
We were able to include everyone whose request had been received at that time, but it is clear that the time available for each witness will be short, and longer statements will have to be submitted for the RECORD. Others who did not submit a timely request will have an opportunity to provide written testimony for the RECORD. The hearings record will be open until February 15.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the witness list of the Clean Air Hearings be printed in the RECORD.
There being no objection, the list was ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows:
