Kenneth A. Reid critiques Congress for proposing 126.5 million over five years for waste treatment research while urging federal control to overcome state inequality. He recalls the Izaak Walton League of America’s 26 year campaign, condemns interstate compacts, and argues the Mundt bills best meet core needs: ban new outlets and retain federal backing if states fail.
