April 3, 2017: Congressional Record publishes “HONORING MICHAEL MAYFIELD”

Volume 163, No. 57 covering the 1st Session of the 115th Congress (2017 - 2018) was published by the Congressional Record.

The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.

“HONORING MICHAEL MAYFIELD” mentioning the Environmental Protection Agency was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E420 on April 3, 2017.

More than half of the Agency's employees are engineers, scientists and protection specialists. The Climate Reality Project, a global climate activist organization, accused Agency leadership in the last five years of undermining its main mission.

The publication is reproduced in full below:
