Abstract
- The article reports that U.S. President George W. Bush's signature air-quality measure is in trouble, with the Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee still deadlocked. Clean Air Subcommittee Chairman George Voinovich, Republican from Ohio offered a manager's amendment that made several changes to their original proposal to appease opponents, including moving the emissions deadlines up two years to 2016 and requiring Environmental Protection Agency to address mercury hot spots. Most committee Democrats are pushing for mandatory carbon dioxide caps, though Clean Air Subcommittee ranking member Thomas Carper, Democrat from Delaware, hinted that there might be a compromise.
