> From day one, the Bush Administration has set about the task of
systematically and unilaterally dismantling over thirty years of
environmental and natural resources law. It started with the "Card
Memo" and the Anything But Clinton ("ABC") rule, which first
quarantined and then quietly put to sleep, scores of regulations
issued by the previous administration‹everything from arsenic in
drinking water, to fuel efficiency standards, to snowmobiles in
Yellowstone National Park. Since then, the anti-Clinton reaction has
grown into a full-fledged ideological crusade to deregulate polluters,
privatize public resources, limit public participation, manipulate
science, and abdicate federal responsibility for tackling national and
global environmental problems. While the American public has been
preoccupied with the issues of jobs, health care, and the "War on
Terrorism," the Bush Administration has enjoyed a rare window of
opportunity to roll back environmental policies and regulations.
