From the ACS Legislative Action Network; this seems particularly apropos to Chemical Health and Safety. - Ralph Dear LAN Member: In late September, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1215, the Green Chemistry Research and Development Act. This bipartisan legislation establishes a new federal, inter-agency, green chemistry R&D program; however, the Senate must pass similar legislation before this bill can become law. As the 109th Congress rapidly comes to a close, we urge you to ask your senators to pass this legislation. Even if it doesn't pass this year, constituent action will help the scientific community to advocate on behalf of it next year.
