Lloyd, joined in a bill establishing a House Standing Committee on the Environment to provide a unified legislative approach to problems of air and water pollution, weather modification, solid waste disposal, use of pesticides, and noise abatement. Though already a serious problem in our own time, despoilment of our earth represents a threat of major magnitude for future generations, Rep. Lloyd said. He quoted Dr. David M. Cates, a Missouri botanist, who described a future earth populated by depressed billions gasping for air, depleted of oxygen and laden with pollutants, thirsting for thickened eutrophic water, struggling to avoid the constant prvv ence of one another, and in essence continuing life at a degraded subsistence level. The full weight and resources of our nation's government must be brought to hear on the problems of polluted air and water, disposal of all wastes, the use of pesticides and other chemical poisons, weather modification, and noise abatement,'' Rep. Lloyd said. Congressional Committees, and the President's executive council, given clear authority, would leave no doubt as to national intention to stop fouling our own living space. The Utah Republican said the committee would also pull together the duplicating and confusing authority of various committees cuncemed with the testing of chemical and biological warfare agents such as that being conducted at Dugwav Proving Ground in Tooele County. lie said will 2d Pay Hike Retro for Wage Board Shift 8C .id Shift lbC Effective first day of first pay period beginning on or after 1 July 1969 The 369 wage grade employees, leaders and supervisors at Deseret Test Center Headquarters and Dugway Proving Ground received pay increases this past week.
