House halts GOP bid to curb EPA enforcement
The House rejected a Republican push to weaken EPA powers, voting 212 to 206 to strip 17 provisions from a funding bill that would have limited the agency’s ability to curb pollution. Democrats and moderates praised the move as protecting public health, while President Clinton vowed to veto the broader bill.
