ROYAL WELCOME Joan Stull 385-5418 Fran Olsen 385-5740 Doris Andreas 385-4518 K N O W V O U d N E W A « A - * O Y A L W E L C O M E D O C S I T S E McCLORY REPORTS Many staunch en­ vironmentalists appear un­ disturbed when confronted with the threat that federal orders to control or end air and water pollution by established in­ dustrial plants - may indeed cause the plants to close down and the workers to lose their jobs. Some who express great Individual concern for the human environment declare flatly that such industries "should close down." This issue reached the floor of the House of Representatives recently in the consideration of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1972. One portion of this bill was intended to take care of these industries which, for en­ vironmental reasons, were required to close down - or to move their operations elsewhere. Since the loss of such in­ dustrial plants and the ensuing unemployment would be the result of federal orders in­ tended to improve the en­ vironment, it was considered equitable that federal payments of unemployment compensation, as well as mortgage and rental assistance and other benefits, should be made available to those who may experience losses and are deprived of their job6. The annual cost of such a novel unemployment com­ pensation and benefit program is estimated to be $100 million. The House of Represen­ tatives gave its approval to this new Federal program of benefits occasioned by en­ vironmental clean-up orders. Under the bill's provisions, wage earners and salaried employees would benefit - with individual benefits not to ex­ ceed 60 percent of the com­ pensation previously received, or the maximum payable under the unemployment com- From Washington pensation law of the State in which the recipient resides, whichever is greater. In ad­ dition, the program also provides making mortgage and rental payments, as well as travel expenses, where em­ ployees are compelled to move in order to find employment. In this legislative initiative, the nation is experiencing an aspect of environmental clean­ up, which is bound to expand and become part of an overall public effort to improve the human environment. In the present measure, there is evidence of duplication with state unemployment com­ pensation programs as well as the danger of deliberate efforts to secure financial benefit from such a federal relief program. The costs of improving the human environment may require no more than the in­ stallation of anti-pollution devices to control air and water pollution from some industrial plants. In such cases the expense of installing anti-pollution devices usually will be passed on to the consumer in the form of additional product cost. However, in other cases, when an order from the En­ vironmental Protection Agency means simply that an in­ dustrial plant must close, it appears that the public will be required to bear part of the losses which are experienced by both labor and management employees. The lesson may be hard to learn, but it should be well understood that in most cases, it is the public -- the consumer and the taxpayer - who will pay. Congressman John Dent of Pennsylvania put the issue bluntly in these words: "Environmental expense? should be paid for by tne Government,...They are in the public domain."
