Abstract
Given all of the recent concern over the federal deficit, budget cuts, and the health of our nation’s economy, there is a fundamental question that we must answer in setting our agenda for the 1990s—How can we most effectively use our limited resources to achieve the greatest possible benefits to human health and the environment that sustains us? The answers to this question will help shape our environmental programs well into the 21st century. The questions we raise at this Symposium can lead us to the answers we will need to safeguard our environmental legacy for future generations.
Erich W. Bretthauer serves as Assistant Administrator for Research and Development, US Environmental Protection Agency.
