Republicans said the bill would promote much-needed transparency at the EPA, while Democrats said it would thwart enforcement actions because many environmental studies depend on protecting the privacy rights of participants. Democrats said the bill’s main targets are studies by the American Cancer Society and Harvard University that link air pollution with ill health and underpin the EPA’s administration of the Clean Air Act. A yes vote was to approve the bill. YES: PEARCE NO: LUJAN GRISHAM, LUJÁN EBOLA DISINFECTANTS: Voting 196 for and 230 against, the House on Nov.
