92756807-6876 Science, Economics, and Environmental Policy: A Critical Examination Conducted by the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution
TO: The Members of the Executive Committee
FROM: Samuel D. Chilcote
This morning Reps. Peter Geren (D-TX) and John Mica (R-FL) held a press conference announcing the release of a study by the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution that evaluates the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) scientific principles used to justify policy decisions. Geren and Mica were joined by Cesar Conda, executive director of the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution and coauthors Dr. S. Fred Singer and Kent Jeffreys.
Press coverage included States News Service, Stephens Publishing and Cable Congress. Several congressional staffers also attended. Copies of the Geren/Mica "Dear Colleague" letter, press release and the study are enclosed.
... Dr. Singer explained that the study was peer reviewed by a number of scientists and economists so that real risks and costs benefits to society could be sufficiently evaluated. ...
Jeffreys pointed to the recent media attention on Clinton Administration officials lying to or withholding information from Congress. During the question-and-answer session, Jeffreys said that EPA is not communicating the whole truth to the public and policymakers about risks. He told the group that EPA often relies on incomplete information by basing risks on single case, nonreplicable results. In the case of ETS, the EPA used irrelevant data and applied inconsistent methodology, Jeffreys said.
On the subject of ETS, Jeffreys said that the research is incomplete and irrelevant to the questions being asked about the actual risk in public settings. He said that "the research EPA examined focused on nonsmoking spouses in the home...for that reason alone, the EPA report is irrelevant." Jeffreys added that based on the data, "I can't prove that ETS is not a risk of lung cancer, but EPA can't prove that it is." He concluded bx saying it would be irresponsible for Congress to regulate ETS based on the EPA report.
The Alexis de Tocqueville Institution also provided this report to EPA in response to EPA's request for comments on its cost/benefit analysis of H.R. 3434, Rep. Waxman's smoking ban legislation.
Additional copies of this "confidential" memo were recovered from various files:

page 21: "Republicans must aggressively counterattack
with an agenda that achieves the same or better environmental protection without costing ]obs or limiting individual freedoms."
... "The Superfund reform bills in the last Congress fell woefully short of fixing the program's fundamental problems. Republicans should simply abolish Superfund outright and replace it with a revolving state loan fund, as proposed by analyst Kent Jeffreys.
Financed in part by a portion of Superfund's current taxes, this fund would provide loans to states and localities for local hazardous waste cleanups. The fund and the taxes should be phased out over a reasonable period: allowing time for the cleanup of the 10% of Superfund sites that pose actual risks. Expensive cleanups should be replaced by land use and deed restrictions along with the s'e'tection of the most cost-effective containment measures. Allowing the local community to decide how to spend funds to clean up Superfund sites would produce better results."
