White House Defies House Contempt Citation Over EPA Chief
The Reagan administration vows to ignore a House contempt citation against EPA Administrator Anne Gorsuch for defying a subpoena on hazardous waste data. It sues the House to block criminal action, arguing executive privilege. The dispute, likely headed to the Supreme Court, centers on the administration’s asserted privilege and congressional access to documents. Also noted is Pittsburgh traffic policeman Vic Cianca facing retirement as readers observe his role in easing snarls.
