Damage Report
Environment and the 105th Congress


This is the full text of NRDC's October 1998 report on the action -- and inaction -- of the 105th Congress on environmental issues. In particular, the report highlights the fact that the most important environmental battles of this Congress occurred not over proposals to revise environmental statutes, but over provisions buried in federal spending bills.
