Bush backs acid rain bill with veto threat
President George Bush signaled he would veto any Congressional bill that deviates from the White House plan to curb acid rain and cut air pollution. He warned against legislation that weakens his proposal or shifts cleanup costs to industry, as stakeholders push for a costlier, stricter Senate bill. Canada relies on U S efforts as acid rain from U S sources affects its lakes and forests. The Senate bill is tougher than the White House plan, and both face a Jan. 23 return of lawmakers after winter recess.
