Environment Message
February 10, 1970
I have sent to the Congress today a sweeping set of proposals
to clean up our nation's air and water, and to make our land more
livable
This is the most far reaching and comprehensive message on
conservation of our natural resources ever submitted to the Congress
by a President.
We are taking these actions not in some distant point in the future,
but now - because we know that it is now or never.
We are launching this campaign not on a piecemeal basis, but
as a nation -- with nationwide standards and a comprehensive plan.
I am urging the Congress to pass 23 specific proposals; I am
moving on 14 more measures by administrative action.
The highlights are these:
First, to clean up our nation's waters:
I am proposing a five-year, ten-billion dollar Clean Waters Act
to provide the municipal treatment plants needed to meet our water
quality standards nationwide.
