Statement Before the House Subcommittee on Natural Resources and Power, Syracuse, New York

August 19, 1966

Syracuse, NY

There is no easy solution to our water pollution problems. Municipal sewage treatment can be accomplished with concerted action and energy. But it must be accompanied by effective action to control industrial pollution. They are mixed so that either one will defy solution by itself. We can restore the quality of our environment so that our cities and towns are good places in which to live. Water pollution control is an important part of this task; but we must act now for to wait is to fall behind.
