Oct. 2, 2018: Congressional Record publishes “COMMITTEE MEETINGS FOR 2018-10-03”

Volume 164, No. 163 covering the 2nd 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.

“COMMITTEE MEETINGS FOR 2018-10-03” mentioning the Environmental Protection Agency was published in the Daily Digest section on pages D1097-D1099 on Oct. 2, 2018.

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:
