Abstract

Senator Edmund S. Muskie (D-Maine), Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution, today said that the Nixon Administration's warning to the nation's airlines that they must engage in voluntary action to reduce smoke emissions from jet engines or face punitive legislation would "substitute private bargains and compromises for an effective public policy on environmental improvement."
