Pesticide safety program called chaotic in Senate findings
A 10 month Senate Judiciary Subcommittee report says the U S pesticide safety program is in chaos risking public protection from dangerous chemical traces. It accuses the EPA of poor planning and delays, wasting time and money, and undermining new pesticide approvals while denying funds for corrective work. Senator Edward Kennedy says EPA failed consumers, farmers, and the industry. EPA Administrator Train acknowledges valid criticisms but disputes some conclusions. The staff says regulation is more necessary and difficult than ever.

Some officials cite de minimis sums and statutes limitations as reasons. A separate inquiry into illicit investigative techniques by FBI agents proceeds, with a New York grand jury expected to vote indictments by month’s end.
